Lydia Gibson Owner- Eva Jenae Naturals, LLC

Hi!!!! I’m Lydia Gibson, owner of Eva Jenae Naturals and I can’t be more excited to be invited back to NYMCM for a second year!
I’ve been handcrafting 100% natural and vegan skin and haircare products since 2006, shortly after my daughter Eva was diagnosed with eczema. The thought of my child being stuck with the itching and scaring eczema can cause honestly scared me! It was enough for me to begin researching alternatives to prescription creams and expensive over-the-counter lotions. Voila! Eva Jenae Naturals was born!
What sets Eva Jenae Naturals apart is that ALL NATURAL really does mean ALL NATURAL! No synthetic fragrances, parabens, petroleum or fillers are ever used and we never test products on animals. No rainbows or glitter here….just simple, yet effective products for all skin types.
I’m passionate about my business and mission to promote beautifully healthy skin…NATURALLY! It is my commitment to be transparent with consumers about the ingredients I use and to provide exceptional customer service. The ultimate goal for my business is to use it as a platform to promote entrepreneurship, self-empowerment, and community involvement among youth.

Murals by Katy - Katy Sanford

I am an artist, designer and owner of Murals by Katy that does custom painting on just about anything. Adding a contemporary twist to vintage items with bright colors and patterns are my areas of expertise. Sewing, upholstery and furniture design are also on my resume of artistic abilities!
I am also creator and teacher of Little and Junior Picassos, an art history based class for young children at the Marysville Art League. I have a special interest in helping children develop themselves artistically. My husband Ryan and I have two children, Keaton and Laiyton who are little artists in the making.
I am always reinventing myself as an artist and when my work becomes too comfortable, I change it up for a new challenge!

The Velocicrafter - Devyn

HI!
My name is Devyn and I specialize in everything crochet! I’m a veterinary technician who garners much of her inspiration from our four-legged friends! When I’m not walking my dogs, riding my bike, or working doing veterinary anesthesia, I’m crocheting all kinds of cool things!
I like to make things that are a little out of the ordinary that bring smiles to people’s faces. Bow ties and flower collar decorations for cats and dogs, cat toys, produce bags, cute baby beanies, and hats for adults. I am always welcoming custom orders as there are so many great ideas out there and I love a new challenge!

Simply Spain - Cory and Julie Spain

Hello!
We are Cory and Julie, and we are the owners of Simply Spain Designs. This is our second year with NYMCM, and we are super excited to be bringing tons of brand new designs to the show! We are Columbus, Ohio, natives who create jewelry and home décor items. We love creating items that are both natural and eye-catching, so you’ll see tons of gorgeous and luxurious raw gemstones such as amethyst and quartz crystal in our shop. You’ll also find some cheeky and inspirational quotes on our stamped necklaces.
Our shop is really diverse, so we have a little something for everyone on your list. Our line of hand stamped men's gifts is one of our holiday best sellers, and we'll have a brand new line of Ohio and Ohio-State themed items available for the first time at NYMCM!
When we aren’t designing or at work, we love to go jogging with our adorable adopted pup, Callie, or snuggle up with our older pup, Casey, while reading a good book. If you have a great book recommendation, we’d love to hear it! We look forward to meeting you at the show!

Tutes - Jen Kuo

Hello all!
My name is Jen Kuo, and I create wire jewelry and wine charms for my shop Tutes. I am a Columbus native and graduate of the Ohio State University. I currently live in Dublin with my husband and fur-babies: two huskies (Tasha and Tank), a German shepherd (Tyson), and my beloved old man kitty (Simba). I began crafting when I was a kid with my mom and two sisters. We were knitting and crocheting before we were 10, and continued to pick up just about any craft we could get our hands on as we grew up.
My wire script jewelry began in 2013 when I put together a mix-matched table of various random crafts and jewelry for a flea market in Columbus that included my script wire jewelry. From there, I continued to concentrate on my wire jewelry, with the script Ohio's becoming the center of my collection as a nod to my alma mater.

Tank's Treasures - Jamie Evans

Hello Crafty Lovers!! I’m Jamie Evans with Tank’s Treasures. I’m a mama bird to three amazing children; a son (Maddox) and a daughter (Zevi) here on Earth, and our angel hero son (Tank) soaring above us. I am happily married (for 6 years and counting) to my best friend and soul mate!
Tank’s Treasures was created shortly after we lost our son. It’s a way for me to put my energy in to something while creating art for others. I get my best creative inspiration in the evenings when the house is quiet and I can connect with Tank. Tank’s Treasures is a way for me to honor our son and keep his beauty alive.
I love all things crafty. I dabble in lots of different things; wood signs, dream catchers, string art, repurposed vases, and hand knit infinity scarves are just a few of the treasures I’ll be bringing to Not Your Mamas Craft Market.
I’m new to this craft show world, so I’m very much looking forward to being a part of NYMCM. I’m excited to meet other vendors who share my love for crafting. See you at the end of November!
Peace and Love,
Mama Bird, Jamie.

Backyard Living - Jeff Johnson

Backyard Living was born from Jeff Johnson’s lifelong love of building.
As a boy, Jeff learned his trade alongside his grandfathers. Inspired by his Grandpa Johnson’s love of birdhouses, Jeff began building his own unique birdhouses and other housewares. He uses reclaimed wood, including barnwood from the family farm in southern Ohio, giving his pieces a locally sourced, eco-friendly touch. Jeff adorns many of the items with local antiques and found objects, making your purchase truly one-of-a kind.
The Johnson family is proud of their Ohio heritage and hopes to bring a little piece of Ohio into your heart and home.
