Alison Winchester, Shabby Chic Artist

Ali Winchester of Seaside, OR, will be returning to the Seaview Manor Bazaar for the fourth year. Her creativity takes her in many different directions. 

She started her own line of natural body products, Grace Body Essentials, which continues under her daughter's management. I have used the products and found them to be great!  The website is www.gracebodyessentials.com




Ali then moved into shabby chic decor, refinishing furniture. She uses natural paint products, which are odorless and non-toxic, and provide a beautiful matte finish.



Ali uses "Chalk It Up", a paint powder which enables her to choose any color of latex paint to turn it into chalk paint. She will have the paint powder available for your purchase during the bazaar. If you live in the area, she offers classes on how to use it on a small piece of furniture with instructions for achieving different effects.
You are invited to shop at the Seaview Manor Bazaar October 24 and 25, 2014 in Seaside, Oregon, to purchase one-of-a-kind items that you won't find anywhere else. Besides...

Jan Espelund, Knitter

Jan is returning to the Seaview Manor Bazaar for the third year. Her use of colors and textures is reflective of our beautiful Northwest coast, as you can see here.

But sometimes she just can't resist getting a little wild. Who wouldn't feel elegant in this purple cowl?


And this beanie makes sure you won't get lost in a crowd!


Each year Jan expands her inventory. Now she's into dog sweaters.

  


Jan will have many items to choose from at our bazaar October 24 and 25, 2014, in Seaside, Oregon, or you can find her at http://www.etsy.com/shop/stormyweatherknits.

Marie Smith, Recycled Home Decor

We are pleased to welcome Marie Smith as a new vendor at the Seaview Manor Bazaar to be held in Seaside, Oregon, October 24 and 25, 2014.



All of her unique pieces are made from reclaimed wood. Each piece is made of a minimum of 90% reclaimed wood.  






No power tools are used in any part of the process.  Hardware nails and screws are of recycled origin whenever possible. Pieces are glued and nailed, screwed and pegged together.  






No paints, stains, or sealers are used, but this frame is perfect for that antique photo you have stored away. 








Branches are salvaged from downed trees.  







Marie is a recycling fanatic, staying true to the concept of adding nothing new to the environment. For a rustic look, these pieces are ideal for indoor or outdoor use. Join us in October to see many more of her pieces.
