Hege Nolop is a Norwegian jewelry designer based in Houston, TX. Her career began in Paris, France; creating rustic pieces with vintage elements hand-picked from antique markets. Since then her work has evolved to incorporate the simplicity and elegance of her Scandinavian design roots. It features free-flowing, organic patterns, soft curves, and a strong inspiration from nature. The result is a clean, contemporary aesthetic that remains faithful to Scandinavian old-world craftsmanship. perleamies.storenvy.com

Sam VanBibber Steampunk
Sam VanBibber, most well known for her stores, “Wear It Again Sam” is onto a new path. And from what I saw and heard this past Saturday her latest endeavor is a hit already. Sam sent me this photo just before the show and I know for a fact that a cool pair of earrings and necklace left and then came back later in the day adorning their admiring new owner. Look for Sam next month at market with Amie Krebbs and her wonderful Gournals. Sam also has her work available online- check out her page on this market website: https://www.firstsaturdayartsmarket.com/Yalest/SamVanBibber
