Inspired by variety, Dallas never makes the same thing twice. She loves to sew and embroider; she dabbles in crocheting, she beads and makes jewelry. So hurry, hurry, hurry, step right up and get your ticket for the imagination contortionist and all of her wonderful oddities. Easily Amused gifts are intended for the frequently exuberant, the blatantly giddy, the often nostalgic and, of course, the easily amused. If you miss the attention to detail of yesteryear Dallas is your gal; her one of a kind creations are great to have and share.

I like to make bags made from old pairs of pants. I make soft toys- some rattle some don’t. I have a new design for the rattles that sold so well at the last bazaar and I am working on a new toy design that will be better for small babies. I also make hot pads and embroider kids T-shirts. I might even pull out some other new ideas by the time May gets here…

Howdy – I make many items… but right now- I am making a sea of fish. Some have squeakers… some don’t. I’ll have bottlecap magnets, tags and necklaces, my homeless critters and dia de muerto items (wall skulls, skeleton stories and wall stars).

Gentry Blackburn is a painter, crafter and owner of the kooky-cute
boutique Frosty Darling where she shows her work along side other local
artists. With a degree in painting she focused on her fine art and worked
at the library until she started making button earrings and hand-painted
throw pillows. Then came forays into knitting, sewing and a giant leap
into retail to showcase all these new wonders. She was awarded, “Best
Crafty Lady” in Salt Lake City Weekly’s 2007 Artys issue and keeps on
truckin’ with her bright color vintage carnival style.

This holiday collection will feature felt finger puppets, button earrings,
throw pillows, vintage fabric aprons, stuffed animals, and small
paintings. I’m really excited about the super furry blue squirrels I’ve
been working on!

I make quality and cute stuffies—in the Bazaar I’m planning on featuring my Blastoid Cats and Gorillas/Gorillies. I’m also hoping to introduce my poster line of Christian and LDS specific posters that share a religious message without calligraphy and a country blue or maroon color palette. Christian artwork doesn’t have to be stuffy or unattractive after all. ;o)

I find buyers who like unique, high quality, and well designed items are drawn to my goods and I aim to please. Visit me here…

I make bottlecap magnets, tags and necklaces. I have a stuffed critter line called “homeless monsters”. I also paint matchboxes and make retablos. Visit me here…

Dallas Russell was born in 1923 to retired vaudeville performers: Frank “The Flash” Russell and Natasha “Boom Boom” Valnentino…. Ok Dallas just has a wild imagination, as is evident from her fanciful, Easily Amused collection.  Actually, she was born much later in Salt Lake City and was bestowed the gift of craft by her mother. Dallas wasted no time in using her artistic inheritance. She began by creating matching outfits and fashionable accessories for her and her  doll collection. She finds her inspiration through color, all things adorable, Japanese cute and vintage findings. Oh, did I mention she likes silly things, especially anthropomorphized animals that wear hats and eat spaghetti! Other than making the world a more whimsical place, she is a Program Coordinator for youth at an after-school and summer program. She likes to ride her bike, watch hours of Project Runway and The Daily Show with her patient hubby Steve. So step right up and see the amazing Dallas and the world of Easily Amused!
