Meet The Bloggers



I'm Marilyn Perez and my shop is Pulp Sushi, full of bold and colorful handmade "retro-inspired" jewelry.  Born and raised in New York, I currently live in Fishkill with my boyfriend.  I have a major sweet-tooth, a love for low-brow art, books, music, photography, knitting/crochet, and working on my personal blog.  My jewelry is inspired by mid-century nostalgia mixed with gothic Victorian glamour.  I'm the Blogger-In-Chief (a title I just gave myself right this moment). 



I'm Lisa Walbridge and my Etsy shop is merryalchemy where I sell ornate and whimsical handcrafted jewelry inspired by bygone eras, flowers, and fairy tales.  When I'm not making jewelry, I love to read, run, and do boot camp.  I am a recent transplant to the Hudson Valley from Massachusetts.  I live in Beacon and absolutely love the mix of bustling Main Street with the rural beauty of the hills and the river.

SO handmade is a local arts and crafts business producing unique merchandise which combines mixed media with sewing and painting in a whimsical style.

SO handmade is run by Sarah Omura who lives in Connelly, NY with her husband and young son. Sarah is British and attended Loughborough College of Art and Design in the UK before moving to London to work with renowned interior decorator Nina Campbell. Sarah designed furnishing fabrics and wallpapers for the Nina Campbell brand- distributed by Osborne and Little for 6 years until 2004.

Sarah then embarked on a 6 year stint volunteering in Namibia in Southern Africa where she worked with local communities to design and develop products for the burgeoning tourism industry. The colors, fabrics and crafts she worked with in Africa has greatly inspired much of her work today.

In setting up SO handmade Sarah wanted to explore a mixture of media combining fabrics, recycled materials and textures with a variety of different paints to achieve the finished pieces.
