Carina's Bakery by Carina Comer<br />
Carina Comer wants you to join her in creating pastries that tell a<br />
sensational story and that bridge communities of all shapes, sizes<br />
and abilities. Due to a brain tumor she developed at an early age,<br />
she lost nearly half her vision before taking her first steps. Driven<br />
toward her goals, she found a love of baking early on, inspired by<br />
the memories of her Swedish grandfather. Her recipes come from<br />
the homeland, from inside cozy cottages in the frozen northlands<br />
of Sweden. She seeks to incorporate the simple ingredients once<br />
available to her Viking ancestors.<br />
Gnome Werks by Danyal Boyd<br />
Gnome Werks Toys grew from Danyal Boyd's love of making toys<br />
for her own children. As her children grew, the handmade toys<br />
became more elaborate and it has really grown from there.<br />
She loves dreaming up and designing new characters. Her toy<br />
designs are inspired by children's literature and fairy tales because<br />
fantastic stories and fairy tales get everyone's imagination moving.<br />
Open-ended toys made with natural and all non-toxic materials<br />
inspire imaginative play in young children, and their parents and<br />
grandparents.<br />
Fika Craft by Jessica Koenig<br />
Fika Craft is the creation of Oregon-based, Scandinavian-born<br />
Jessica Koenig, who grew up in the countryside doing a lot of just<br />
that: Fika and Crafts. Fika is the Swedish word for a sit-down coffeelemonade-snack-break<br />
(think cinnamon rolls and gingerbread<br />
cookies). After traveling and living in lots of places and countries,<br />
her creations and designs have been a way of finding a home<br />
away from home. Designs are inspired by the windswept Nordic<br />
landscape and by Swedish folk art. Her patterns are made to<br />
complement the simplicity of Scandinavian homes.
