Boulder Irish Session – Next Sunday at Conor’s CD

November 4, 2024

Now celebrating its 38th year, The Boulder Irish Session is a Boulder County ‘institution’ and is still going strong. They are an informal, dynamic gathering of top-notch Front Range musicians who, until Covid, came together on Sunday evenings at Conor O’Neil’s, and then License No. 1 in the Boulderado Hotel to share tunes and songs of the Celtic tradition. The Session has found a new home at East Simpson Coffee House in Lafayette on Sunday afternoons from 2 to 4:30, and they have also returned to License No. 1 on Wednesday evenings from 7pm!

Over the years, the Session has gained many loyal followers who know they will always hear some of the best, most spirited live traditional Irish and Celtic music in the region on any given Sunday. Harlequin’s Gardens co-owner Eve Brawner is one of the founding members of the Boulder Irish Session and is still a ‘regular’ there, playing English concertina, and singing. We offer the 2nd of their excellent CDs, Next Sunday at Conor’s.

And they smell wonderful! And they come in a lovely blue mesh bag. And they are Local.

Edible & Medicinal Plants of the Southern Rockies

November 4, 2024

Don’t be fooled by the title; a lot of the area covered is in Colorado, including Denver, Boulder and Ft. Collins. This is a very good plant ID book from by Mary O’Brien and Karen Vail with interesting descriptions. In addition, it’s an excellent herbal, giving both medicinal and edible uses. Highlighted in yellow are important “cautions”. It is presented in a respectful way honoring nature as did the Ute Indians who pioneered the use of these plants. For example, did you know that Gambel Oak “…is a good back country first aid plant to know, using the leaves as a poultice or wash for insect bites and wounds, or chewing a piece of the bark for toothaches….”  Good photos. These local gals really know their stuff and we highly recommend their book!

Amethyst Clusters

November 12, 2024

Amethyst Clusters are said to calm the mind, to deepen spiritual connection, and even to strengthen the immune system. They are often used in Feng Shui to clear negative emotions. We think these hand-selected clusters look great on a windowsill among houseplants!

Dr. Brawner’s Healing Aftershave – Harlequin’s Exclusive!

November 10, 2024

Formulated and made in Boulder by ‘the doctor’ himself (our founder, Mikl Brawner), from 99% pure Aloe Vera Gel, with cold-pressed, organic Rosehip Seed Oil; 100% pure Jojoba Oil, and 32,000 IU Vitamin E Oil, along with essential oils of Lavender, Vetiver, and Rose. That’s all. No alcohol, nothing synthetic, non-greasy. All the ingredients are natural plant products, chosen for their skin-healing qualities. The steam-distilled Rose Oil is a powerful anti-viral and antiseptic. The other ingredients are good for healing burns and dry and damaged skin, inflammation, wrinkles. They are moisturizing and uplifting to the spirits.

Mikl has made and used this formula for more than 20 years to heal his Irish skin from the abrasion of shaving and the drying effects of the Colorado sun (and keep him looking youthful and handsome!). And it smells wonderful, and it’s not just for men! Women love using it as a premium facial moisturizer, and on shaved legs.

Atelier Foucault

November 5, 2024

We are very excited to feature Marie Foucault-Phipps’ stunning, intriguing, and elegant glass tableware again!  When I came upon her work, I found it entirely unlike anything I had seen before. Using a technique that dates as far back as 9th century Turkey, Marie paints her
original designs with ‘Silver Stain’ (silver oxide) on clear glass pieces. They are then fired in a kiln and emerge with a rich and exciting color palette ranging from yellows, golds, and browns to deep coppery oranges, and molten reds!  She describes it as “a wild medium, not reliable, and always surprising” and says she enjoys “exploiting its freedom”.  You will love her tableware and other pieces!

Marie studied Stained Glass Conservation in Paris and became an accomplished conservator of historical stained-glass art across France and the U.S., where she relocated to Colorado in 1984. An accomplished glass painter, Marie freelanced for other studios while working on her own exhibition glass. She has exhibited around the world with the Women’s International Glass Workshop to places such as Japan, Ireland, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, Wales, France, and Golden, Colorado!

Cobalt Creations

November 12, 2024

Cobalt Creations’ Debe Frazer is a mom to 5 boys, and stumbled into glass art quite by accident while exploring creative outlets with her youngest. She fell in love with the medium by starting with one very small kiln and now has over 5 — including a life-size one! Her glass designs are handcrafted with layers of art glass in a vibrant array of colors. Each piece is cut and constructed by hand and kiln fired multiple times.

Julie Neri Pottery

November 5, 2024

Years ago, Julie and Eve were classmates at the Boulder Potters Guild. Julie’s passion for clay subsequently led her to create her own home studio in Longmont, where she applies her hand-building skills and sense of whimsy to making delightful decorative and functional pieces.

Now a Guild member and a teacher there, Julie says “I am drawn to texture and find my roots coming through in my work. I am inspired by nature and by the patterns of repetition: the simplicity of a house, the design formed by bicycle gears, the delicate texture in a leaf, the rolling rocks in a rambling stone wall, and the ridges on a sea turtle’s shell.”

This year, Julie will bring us her holiday ornaments, eyeglass stands, and cloth rope-coiled coasters, mats and bowls.

Lili Christensen – Handspun Yarn

November 10, 2024

A fiber and fabric lover from her earliest years, Lili learned to knit from her mother when she was eleven, and went on to study painting, printmaking and fashion design. She learned to spin at age 24, and so began a life-long passion. Lili begins each morning with a contemplative hour at her spinning wheel.

Her love of color and pattern and a fascination with the unique qualities of wool from different breeds of sheep keep her spinning! No two skeins are ever alike, and each awaits someone making something special from them. Lili provides the story behind each skein and recommendations for the best knitting patterns to show them off. Use a one-of-a-kind skein to make a very special gift or gift the yarn to a needle-crafter who will delight in its beauty and its story.

Pinon Hill Clay Studios – Nicole Copel

November 12, 2024

Nicole Copel is a Colorado artist working out of Pinon Hill Clay Studios in LaVeta,  where she creates one-of-a-kind works of art. 

EFFERVESCENCE is characterized by bright colors and round shapes against a white porcelain clay surface.

My hope is that the work brings levity to the people that live with it.

Rejuvenated Remnants

September 28, 2021

Joan Hemm began working with the fabrics found in thrift-store draperies, duvet covers, tablecloths, and sheets in high school where there was no budget for costumes for the drama department’s productions. We first met Joan at a Boulder County Farmer’s Market, where she was dressed in a wonderful period costume portraying Susan B. Anthony in honor of Women’s Suffrage, and armed with voter registration forms. She had, of course, made her costume from remnants.

Fashioned from top quality ‘designer’ home decor fabric remnants (small new, unused leftovers), Joan reimagines the fabrics into one-of-a kind crossbody bags for us. She designed her pattern based on features she personally wanted: a “gusset” to create a roomier interior, a pocket on the back for a cell phone, inside pockets, cotton linings, and an adjustable strap. Just what we all wanted! And this year she has made laptop carrying bags, too!

Sondra Finch Cards & Ornaments

November 10, 2024

Sondra’s beautiful pressed-flower botanical cards and ornaments are a true delight and will be treasured for years!  Sondra also brings us her original hand-knitted hats, headbands, and faux-fur scarves, featured in our Personal Adornment section.

Sondra Finch Knitwear

November 18, 2024

Sondra joined us late in our 2015 holiday market and her fun, original hand-knitted hats and headbands immediately set off a buying frenzy! Eve gets compliments wherever she goes when she wears the fabulous feathery headband Sondra made, even from strangers on the street!

We’ve stocked up on her pieces this year, including her soft, snuggly ‘mobius’ scarves, hats and headbands, as well as her beautiful pressed-flower botanical cards.

Wax Crescent Candles

November 10, 2024

Our scented and poured candles are from Longmont resident Kym Terribile, who started making candles when she found out that the candles she was burning were full of toxic chemicals.

Wax Crescent candles are made with pure ingredients: US-grown soy wax, scented with phthalate-free fragrance oils and high-quality essential oils, and the wicks are lead-free, zinc-free cotton. The recyclable glass jars are adorned with simple, attractive labels. If lighting a candle signifies creating a sacred space for yourself, why would you settle for less?

Kisu Lip Balm – Harlequin’s Exclusive!

November 10, 2024

Created by Pamela Clum’s Plum Botanicals, a small fair-trade organic skin-care line based here in Boulder Valley. This long-lasting lip balm is based on wild-collected African shea butter from a women’s cooperative, and lightly scented with the marvelous, unique, citrus-y essential oil of neroli. 

Shea butter is a natural sun-blocker, so it really helps prevent chapping in all seasons. Kisu is still, by far, Eve’s favorite lip balm!
