Huckleberry Row

Clutter. It's everywhere . It seems like I'm forever cleaning the clutter, and just when I think I'm gaining some ground ~ ugh! There's another pile that somehow flew under the radar.  I'm also a big fan of organization {it's an inner joy that may not always show on the surface}, so whenever I find a trick or tip that can make life more streamlined, I try to share it with others. This little trick I actually came across accidentally, and I figured hey ~ maybe it will work for you too.   I have a jewelry armoire.  You know the huge jewlery box on legs with outswinging doors on the side for hanging necklaces, multiple drawers, and a top that lifts up for even more storage.   PRO : Great storage space for all of your jewelry {and then some}.   CON : Nowhere to put the huge jewelry armoire.    Currently, my armoire sits at the top of our stairs, on the way to my office. And since I create jewelry, I'm uber-picky about what I actually wear m...

I have a dream. A dream where one day, we can all live together in a world harmoniously united. A world where no one uses my E-6000 and leaves the cap off {gasp!}, and where my workspace "mess" can be left at day's end by simply turning off the light and turning the neon OPEN sign off.  Sigh..... I know.... Dream big or go home. Many handmade artisans who are self-employed "share" some of their workspaces with the rest of their family from time to time, be it the dining room table which offers a large span of flat space or the garage floor which works very nicely for spray painting objects.  And yes, this means the vehicles and many other valuables sit on the driveway in the meantime {insert favorite family member's patience here}. So understandably, when an opportunity presents itself for a handmade artisan to secure a small piece of their own real estate, we jump on it!  Recently, I had the same thing happen at my house.  Although, I guess dependin...

If you live in Minnesota, you have an advantage over other customers of being able to shop in a hands-on atmosphere, usually during a craft show, art fair or some other kind of fun event that typically involves a large number of other talented individuals showcasing their passions.  Events also mean you have access to special items that aren't available on the website(s) AND fantastic sales.  This time of the year, it's also a great way to shop for Christmas gifts! Following is a list of upcoming places you will be able to find Huckleberry Row.  Watch the EVENTS tab above for the current calendar of events.  Hope to see you soon!
