The Hudson Valley Hullabaloo brings together artists, designers, craftspeople and other creators of handmade goods, making it the perfect holiday shopping experience for anyone looking for unique and meaningful gifts.
Meet the Makers! Rebecca Peacock, Cynla, Captain Blankenship, Hudson Naturals and Little Llama Shop!
Rebecca Peacock Jewelry – Rebecca uses 14- and 18- karat gold, diamonds, and semi-precious gemstones to create rings, earrings and necklaces that are “intentionally simple and casually luxurious.” Supporting ethical, sustainable, and fair work practices, AND using reclaimed materials, Rebecca’s geometrically-inspired designs combine an understated elegance with social-consciousness for luxury you can feel good about! Rebecca lives and works near Kingston and is a returning Hullabaloo vendor.
Cynla Cindy’s cards, notepads, and prints inspire us to slow down, keep in touch, and invite an old friend out for brunch, already! Her products feature her hand-drawn illustrations, watercolors, and digitally-colored artwork. Full of whimsy, detail, and playfulness, Cindy’s cards just make us happy. She’s a returning vendor at Hullabaloo and hails from Beacon, NY. Check out her holiday greetings and stock up on casual invites too—when things calm down in January, you’re going to want to start scheduling those cheeseburger/ice cream/tea dates!
Captain Blankenship – Using only organic, wild-crafted, or natural ingredients, Jana Blankenship crafts her refreshingly natural products for hair, body, skin, and lips, inspired by the smells of the natural world. Her unique scents will make you feel relaxed and rejuvenated just reading their descriptions: “White flowers change their hue with strokes of sweet orange, grapefruit, and bergamot” is just one example. Now, don’t you feel fresh as a daisy already? Based in New Paltz, Jana’s products have been featured in Marie Claire, Business Week, and People Style Watch on the web. You can find her products in several local boutiques, as well as Urban Outfitters, Birchbox, and other cool places! Perfect gift idea: Kick any beach babe’s winter blues with a bottle of Mermaid Sea Salt Hair Spray in her stocking!
Hudson Naturals Hudson Naturals offers unrefined, cold-processed culinary avocado oil and the beauty products like soaps, body butters, lip balm, scrubs, and shaving soap they make from the unused oil. As the world’s healthiest oil, avocado oil is good for you inside and out, and we love that Christina found a way to reduce the waste from one product to create something else incredibly nourishing! Whether you’re shopping for the culinarian on your list, or for someone who needs some pampering, you can find the perfect gift from this Gardiner-based maker!
Little Llama Shop Kate’s custom applique baby onsies feature holiday themes like gingerbread men, reindeer, and dreidels, as well as everyday animals and other baby’s-favorite-things! She also makes tooth fairy pillows and booties too. Originally from South Africa, Kate lives and works in Westchester and is joining us for her first Hullabaloo! Need a “new baby” gift? How about the “Hi, I’m new here!” onsie?
