Country music icon Jo Dee Messina in conversation with Jordan Frasier about her new single, how she stays grounded, and where she finds comfort in loneliness. 

“I’m Close w/ Jordan Frasier” tackles that space when you're close but not quite there. We explore the gray area where we tap into our most authentic selves, face hard truths, unleash great creativity, and create our reasons ‘why.’  These are the stories of who we are, who we want to become, and what ignites our passions.

The Bazar Holiday journey concludes with Faith Zimmerman and our mutual love of owls that she carefully crafts out of recycled– and upcycled– materials to the delight of holiday shoppers.

The Bazar Holiday journey continues with Theresa Ellson (@dragoncovedesigns) and a real-life fantasy that is truly out-of-this-world with Dragon Eye Journals. We talk about mythical crafts and the community they create during the holiday season and all year long… and you’ll never guess what these beautiful designs are made with.

Our ‘Bazar Holidays’ journey continues with Joanne Haberlock who has been keeping dogs warm AND stylish for almost 30 years!  Just as she’s about to retire we chat about getting started as a crafter and what makes a bazar good… or leaving shoppers with something to be desired.

We continue our Bazar Holiday journey into the kitchen with Laura Springer to explore her sweet world of beautiful sugar cookies and gourmet cocoa bombs and how idle time during COVID lockdowns and the online cookie community helped her grow.

We begin our Bazar Holiday journey with a visit to Claire Houlding’s woodworker’s paradise talking about creating community through craft in a post-COVID holiday season and turning life circumstances into making a love of crafting into a small business.

In this festive episode, we enter the magical world of craft and creation and what makes the ‘Bazar Holidays’ special for everyone.  We talk with makers about the power of craft to make meaning in our lives and the lives of others… and the decisions that brought us to manifest unique and awesome objects.
