There is nothing quite like creating something with your own two hands. Some of the most creative items don’t come from big-box stores. Most of the time, they come from a home studio from a creator with a vision and a dream. We have many crafters here in Sussex County; these are only a few crafters that make a wide variety of items! If you like what you see, give their website or social media profile’s a like so you can follow their work!

Simply Brooklyn
Nine-year-old Brooklyn is an incredible artist. She wanted to create an art space in her home. Her parents encouraged her to use her art skills to make some money so that she could create the space she wanted, like furniture and other large items. She took the skills she learned from her art teacher, and she creates greeting cards, mugs, ornaments, notebooks, and even more! After her parents had put her art on Facebook, people began to inquire about them, and now Brooklyn has and continues to sell at craft shows and farmer’s markets! She even has a small space at Barb’s Treasures in Lafayette!
