Beads N Botanicals is excited to participate in this year's 6th Annual ArtHooHa.
In addition to all of our own wonderful handmade jewelry, candles, soaps, incense and oils, we are proud to feature an exhibit of photographs by local photographer, Tara Allen.
Her images include black & white and color photographs of nature, motorcycles and more. This image is her Black & White Rain Bell.
Not only will you be able to view this talented photographer's works, you can also purchase them.
We also welcome the artistry of Marlitta who works with beads, feathers, wood and antlers to create unique smudge feathers, smudge fans, feather ties, dream catchers and other nature-inspired craftwork.
Art HooHa is an unofficial celebration of our creative community and an opportunity to support artists while you find unique gifts for your holiday list (or for yourself). We hope you enjoy our little event and its relaxed atmosphere where you can check out both the goods and the studios, nibble on some cheese, shop for presents and have fun. Bring your friends.

Store moves to Urbana
Beads N Botanicals, which sells scented products and beading supplies, has moved from Hoopeston to downtown Urbana.
Now at 117 N. Broadway Ave., the shop also offers classes and consultations with owner Catherine Novak.
Novak also operates Wise Weeds Botanicals, a handmade oils and incenses retail/wholesale business she has had for 16 years.
Novak first opened her store in Hoopeston three years ago. She decided to relocate to Urbana, she said, because she has lots of potential customers there who know her through the tarot card readings she does in the area.
Her new Urbana store sells crystals, beads, semiprecious stones, crystal stones and clusters, medicinal and culinary herbs, handmade jewelry, tarot cards, teas, incense, hand-blended oils, books, candles, custom-blended perfumes and bath products.
Classes focus on jewelry-making, beading, aromatherapy, medicinal herbs and personal development.
Novak said she is available for consultation about herbs, aromatherapy, hypnotherapy, Reiki (a Japanese relaxation technique) and tarot readings.
