Satisfying objects...

This satisfying object courtesy of Joe Forestall of Anderstall Artworks, in Bow, NH. Ahh the lovely weighty feel...it's here at the shop right now, and yes, we'll let you touch it too :)

NH Represent!

Hey so, I'm sure you've figured this out if you're reading this blog with any regularity, but I thought I take a second to point out that here at the Speakeasy, we sell only regionally handmade artisan-made items. Regional meaning New England, BUT we primarily feature NH creators. Here's a list of the NH artists and towns currently represented in our shop:

Anderstall Artworks--Bow, NH
Blue Sky Bindery/Emma Bates--Warner, NH
muchacha K (yeah, yeah that's me)--Concord, NH
Little Lucy/Jillian Brown--Concord, NH
drawn onward designs/Allison Murphy-Concord, NH
Susan Schwake-Rochester, NH
Diane Terragni-Dunbarton, NH
Hoopties-Epsom, NH
Bags By Melanie/Melanie Chabre--New Ipswich, NH

This is why it's so cool to buy handmade--you can get great, quality goods, from local people.

(That little lizard guy up there? Official NH amphibian...the Spotted Newt...who knew we even HAD one!? He's cute! AND...he's LOCAL too ;) !)

Could this be prettier?

Gorgeous lavender lozenge necklace with black/deep purple accent--created by Malori Anderson of Anderstall Artworks, Bow, NH. This lovely necklace is currently at home here at the Speakeasy Boutique. Luscious. I fall instantly in love with jewelry that looks delicious and these beads make me think of pastilles (can you tell I haven't had dinner yet today?). The kind my mother used to stuff in my Christmas stocking. Creamy sweet disks of goodness.

But wait, the point here is the jewelry.

Off to the kitchen--time for a pork chop.

Anderstall Art Works

The artists of Anderstall Artworks of Bow, NH stopped by to stock up the Speakeasy with vibrant blown glass vases, paperweights, and ornaments--and jewelry with a mod twist. Joe and Malori are terrific creative team...you can see more of their work at their website Anderstall Artworks.
