Polka Dot Pig

I am a primitive lover at heart. So, when I came across the Polka Dot Pig on facebook, I was HOOKED!

The picture above and below, were listed on facebook, and I had to investigate further! The workmanship of these hand painted goodies is amazing!

Julie Miller, owner of Polka Dot Pig loves to go to flea markets and garage sales to find some of my favorite things... things that are covered in rust n' dust! She brings them home and gives them a new life with a little paint and a lot of love.

Not only does Julie paint, but she also sews! You can find so many wonderful hand crafted dolls, ornies and seasonal items on her website

This is one of my favorite dolls she does! The queen of junk! A fabulous doll, but also a few little extras added on for the extra touch! These dolls and so many other are available on the website, and are also offered as pattern~ but please make sure to mention Polka Dot Pig as the designer.

For the past few months, since finding the Polka Dot Pig, Julie and and her daughter Brittini have been doing show after show! Would you not just RUN to a booth that looks like this???

In her spare time(lol) Julie also has a couple booths at local shoppes. Looks like you can find a little bit of everything a prim girl needs all in one shop!

You can find the Polka Dot Pig and all its prim wonderful-ness at

Little Dirt Lane Dolls is out to help EVERY crafter get thier hand mades the attention they deserve!
Meet Jess! Jess is the owner of Little Dirt Lane Dolls. you can find her at http://littledirtlanedolls.blogspot.com

Jess is a quirky, crafty, fun, stay at home mom, chicken rangler, doll creator and hand made saver! On her blog you will find the most adorable hand made dollies! Each one made with Jess's signature big round eyes!

There' s a little bit of crafter in every one of us. Some of us take that crafting ability and share it with the rest of the world by offering their hand mades for sale. There are literally thousands upon thousands upon thousands of crafters online today offering their hand made treasures. Jess noticed this... and a big bright light bulb shown above her head!!!!

What if...

what IF all of these crafters UNITED together to not only promote thier own work, but that of OTHER CRAFTERS! As a group, crafters can learn, teach, share and uplift each other... and maybe even earn a few extra dollars off thier craft along the way!

So with this in mind Jess started a brand new group for crafters, by crafters~

Meet all kinds of crafters and see thier wonderful hand mades! You will be shocked at all the goodies!
