For version 3 of October Sponsor Highlight series, lets kick it off by meeting Katie of
I go by Katie. I was fortunate enough to meet Katie at Renegade Craft Fair in July of this year. She has such lovely taste, and her creations are beyond impressive.

My name is Katie Kukulka & I am a cobbler, seamstress, fine art photographer, entrepreneur, crafter & collector of fine things.
I work for myself handcrafting moccasins & leather accessories for Darlingtonia Moccasin Co. & when I am not cutting, sewing, or adhering leather I can be found working a myriad of other projects. Like creating & collecting for my new shop Collected or working on my fine art photography portfolio. 
I live in a small town in northern california where on my days off I cruise the countryside, hunt for antiques, chow down root beer floats & picnic under oak trees with my puppy & boyfriend of 5 years.
My blog I go by Katie is where I share my adventures, inspiration, projects, DIYs, host giveaways & promote all of my creative endevours with daily posts & lots of photos.
Up next , we have Shawni Marie of A Spoonful of Love. Like Katie, I also met Shawni when I went to Renegade Craft Fair in July, and we were able to share a lot of time together. She's so caring and has dynamite skills in the kitchen!
My name is Shawni Marie. I live in California, but was raised in Germany. I miss Europe. I dream of moving to the South and opening my own little personal chef company.. I hope to travel America in an RV someday. I love chocolate and bacon... Together. and I can't seem to stop shopping. Help!
I work two jobs full time. I cook in an amazing little kitchen downtown. I also help my parents run our family business.
When I am not working, I am busy learning new recipes and developing my own. I love to cook in my kitchen. I also love reading. Which has led me to my newest project... opening my own Etsy shop. In it I will be selling bookmarks that I have crafted. Really excited about sharing them!

I cook because I love making people happy with my food. A full belly can be the best feeling in the world. The warmth that spreads all through your body after a really good meal, I love that. Crafting is something new to me and I have enjoyed it so much. When I was younger, I was so creative. It's fun revisiting the joy of childhood.
