Many of you may remember Don't
Blink, the gift shop in Bloomington next to the post
office. The proprietor was Trish
Carlin. Unfortunately, it is no longer
there but that hasn't stopped Trish from continuing her passion for
creating. That's probably because she
was born with a creative spirit and has been making crafts since the age of 5.
She has many talents but her
main interests are designing beads for the jewelry she makes and producing her
signature 100% natural lip balms and body butters. In fact, she can put any logo you desire on her
handmade lotions, balms, butters, and candles. She also loves to draw people
and animals and will draw anything you request.
Manipulating extremely old and weathered barbed wire into designs –
especially flowers (see picture) and making things out of wood such as signs,
furniture, and anything else she can think of are also favorite crafts. She says she has perfected so many crafts
that she doesn't have time to do them all but custom requests are welcome. She has also received many 1st
place ribbons and awards for her various works of art.
So be sure to stop by and see
all the goodies Trish is currently hard at work creating for the Bear Lake
Valley Craft Fair during Raspberry Days, Aug. 4-6. You'll find them and many other talented
local crafters in the Lakeside Bldg north of the library in the Garden City
Complex on 300 West.
