Many of our handmade and vintage vendors have tons of ONE-OF-A-KIND items! This means they sell out, sometimes pretty quickly. But, you can avoid this by purchasing the Hullabaloo Premier Pass!
The Premier Pass offers early entrance at 10am, before the big crowds hit at 11am. Premier parking, which is really close to the event, most of the other parking will be at the Saugerties High School across the street. (There will be sports games on the same day, so some of the parking near the fields will only be available to people attending the games). And a cotton Hullabaloo tote, perfect for carrying your newly purchased handmade and vintage items! The pass is $10, and it can be found here.
We’ve worked hard to curate an event that offers something for everyone—for everyone on your gift list, for anyone’s budget, and to cater to many different tastes and interests. These five Hullabalooers are great examples of the diversity in our vendors…Whether you’re looking for a super-special gift for a new baby’s nursery, want to encourage a healthier lifestyle, need a present for a restless traveler, want to give a piece of everyday elegance, or are looking mix up your wardrobe with some timeless articles of clothing, Hullabaloo has got a vendor for you!
Jocelyn hand-dyes and needle-felts little critters with big personalities! She puts a ton of love into every one, carefully sculpting them into realistic miniatures and giving each an expression and a story (Gertrude the Octopus used to terrorize ships, but she’s given that up to lead underwater tours; Rimbaud the swan wants you to know he’s more than just his graceful good looks!). Jocelyn’s animals are accurate down to every last detail and fascinating to admire. Her pieces can be used as finger puppets and are great for interacting with children of all ages. However, they are also delicate artwork and some even have tiny party hats, so it’s best to consider them more decorative than playthings. Sit them on a shelf and they can be enjoyed for years to come! In addition to the finger puppet pieces, Jocelyn makes brooches (which can also serve as ornaments or be mounted on the wall like tiny, felted taxidermy) and has added mobiles to her line. This is Jocelyn’s first Hullabaloo and we are so thrilled to have her and help her charming creatures find good homes!
With some help from their “medicinal herbs for mighty health,” Lauren of Good Fight Herb Co. reassures you that “you are good medicine.” An herbalist, healer, and educator, Lauren grows, gathers, and sources the organic herbs used in her blends, sprays, tonics, tinctures, and other natural remedies. She’s got the solution for whatever ails you—whether you’re broken-hearted (Self-Love Potion #9), are battling anxiety during a difficult time (Deep Breath De-Stress Blend), need a good night’s sleep (Sleep Tight), or are battling the sniffles (Kick a Cold Blend). She’s also got some little items that can be packaged with her remedies for a great gift! Want to bring an ailing friend something better than chicken soup? Wrap up Lauren’s Kick a Cold Blend with a handmade hanky! Somebody need a little reminder to take their medicine? A medicine shot pot, made custom for Good Fight, pairs perfectly with any potion! This is Good Fight’s first Hullabaloo, so stop by to stay well!
Crystal of Lock & Key Leathers considers each of her bags a story…from how the bag drapes when it’s held to where she sources her materials—so much goes into each piece that sometimes she dreams all night about making patterns, or is up at night worrying about details like how long to make the handles of a new tote. The love and attention to detail that goes into each of Crystal’s bags is apparent in the fine workmanship and beautiful designs. Made of leather and waxed canvas, much of her work is intentionally well-loved-looking, because they’re made for adventurers with wanderlust. Whether it’s a ruggedly luxurious tote, a distressed cross-body bag, a beautifully battered wallet, a wonderfully worn clutch, or some other accessory, your new favorite will feel like an old, familiar favorite. She’s been collaborating with her husband too, and he’s now tooling his artwork on some of Crystal’s pieces, to make them extra-special! The best part? The more you use them, the more character they collect. It’s Crystal’s third Hullabaloo and we’re so glad she’s been with us from the beginning.
We love Jaime’s delicate, feminine jewelry, which she describes as “simple jewelry for everyday, graceful wear” that are designed to enhance your natural beauty. Using high-quality gemstones and precious metals, Jaime has added gold to her line since last year, when she primarily worked in silver. Jaime’s work is refreshingly uncomplicated, allowing the beauty of the materials to really shine through. We LOVE her stackable gemstone bar bracelets, and her understated necklaces that are perfect for layering. Wouldn’t any lady on your shopping list love to find a box from Jewels by JaimeLynn in her stocking? We know we would! You can’t go wrong with her versatile pieces that look great on anyone, no matter what their style! We’re so happy to have Jaime back!
Imagine the best styles and pieces from every era…What do you see? The racks of Lovefield Vintage? Because that’s what comes to mind for us! What are you coveting right now? Darbie just might have it—or can find it! Everything on Lovefield’s racks is there because Darbie loves it (not just because it’s old) and has a vision for how it can be mixed with other finds from various periods and styles. Darbie’s collection is so carefully curated and she’s got such an eye for picking out unique pieces and putting them together with other awesome things! She’s got everything from 60s cocktail frocks to 90s ruffled baby doll blouses—and men’s stuff too, like well-worn denim, vintage tees and flannels…Shoes, jewelry, and other accessories have a place on her shelves too. We’re thrilled to have Darbie back for her second Hullabaloo, and we can’t wait to see what she’s found for us this year!
From cards to collectibles, Hullabaloo has got you covered this holiday season! Got someone on your list who loves rust and rarities? A literature lover or fiber freak? A friend with low-maintenance style? How about a clever correspondent? You’ll want to check out these vendors…
We know you’ve been reading along as Erin and Denny (everyone’s favorite blogging couple!) provide travel itineraries, share their favorite hot spots, and discover hidden treasures as they head north from Crown Heights to explore the nooks and crannies of the Hudson Valley and surrounding regions. But did you know that they also curate an amazing collection of vintage finds, and participate in some of the area’s markets, selling the treasures they’ve found in their travels? In their online shop The Brew & Compass (currently on hiatus as they gear up for market season) and on their Instagram, you’ll find oddities like taxidermy frogs chugging beers, collectibles like beautifully detailed anatomy posters, antiques like wooden arrows, and rustic décor like cow horn mirrors—just to name a few favorites from their recent picks! We CAN’T WAIT to see what they’ve collected for their first Hullabaloo!
Book Meat Studio (aka, Kat) is obsessed with fibers, paper, thread, and yarn—what she sees as the connective tissue in art. She hand-makes her beautiful wall hangings, embroideries, bound books, and zines right here in Kingston, using neutral palettes and varying textures to create an aesthetic experience. All her paper and fiber art pieces are somehow simultaneously sassy and serene! We just love the hoop art featuring quotes from literary heroines and lines of poetry, the gorgeous journals, the intimate zines and artist’s books, and the expertly woven wall hangings. We can’t wait to get shopping for all our literary friends! We are so psyched to welcome Book Meat Studio to her first Hullabaloo!
Each piece in Fox and Castle’s collection of no-fuss fine jewelry and accessories is individually handcrafted by Micah, using only ethically sourced natural materials and traditional techniques. There’s an understated edginess and rough elegance to each—whether crafted using hand-mined NYS Herkimer diamonds, or Cherokee Reservation deer skin (either beautifully complimented by sterling silver, 14k gold, or polished brass). Because the materials have their own stories, the result is a unique, timeless piece with a character and charm all its own. She also sells sachets stuffed with organic sage as well as other textile products perfect for gift giving. Micah’s jewelry is designed to complement any style—not distract from it. With this intent in mind, her pieces have a wide appeal and the ability to make any style seem effortless. Check out Fox & Castle’s table at her first Hullabaloo and cross some ladies off your holiday shopping list!
You guys know, Danielle and Joe, right? Danielle is not only the founder and co-organizer of Hullabaloo, she’s got this awesome letterpress company. Combining an antique process with fresh, modern designs and their signature wit and edginess, Danielle and Joe hand-print cards, coasters, calendars, and other products on their 50-100 year old presses. They also offer wedding invitations, business cards, and custom pieces. Looking for off-beat greetings? Save the Hallmark cards for your grandma—your friends will appreciate a “Creep it real” card, and how can any girl resist a “You wake my snake” love note? They’ve also got some more traditional options—including holiday cards—to round out their offering and appeal to the more conservative folks on your mailing list (in case scary Santa isn’t quite appropriate). Going to a party? Bring along some super cool Wishbone coasters—any hostess will appreciate a guest who’s looking out for her furniture.
