Molly Cahill

MollyauContraire

Established in 2009, MollyauContraire is committed to creating zero or low waste products. Each piece of MollyauContraire product is lovingly handcrafted. The product line includes:

• Vegan Taxidermy: Meticulously crafted mounted animal heads made with up-cycled vintage embroidered linens and driftwood from Lake Erie. The linens are carefully selected based on their style and condition. The more discolored and “unusable” in its original state, the better suited it is for transformation.

• Knitted hanging and wall planters: with up-cycled glass jars and home cultivated plants.
• Toys: Stuffed unicorns, llamas, bunnies and tooth fairy dolls, all made from almost entirely reclaimed materials.

Molly Cahill, the owner of MollyauContraire remarks, “I love the process of finding and using reclaimed materials. My product development is largely centered on what skills I have (or learn) that can help turn this landfill diverted material into something desirable.” The mission of MollyauContraire is to reduce waste by salvaging and creating beautiful items that you will enjoy wearing, gifting or using in your home.

Bonus info: I spent a year as a young adult, living in Kerala, India, an experience that greatly influenced my design and career choices. A passion for Fair Trade really blossomed in the years to follow.

Vintage Charm by Suze

Sue started Vintage Charm by Suze in 2013 and runs it out of her home. Sue sells on Etsy as well as Facebook Marketplace. She also enjoys selling at local craft shows 2-3X per year. Until she retired in 2021, Sue was doing all of this while working full time in healthcare! Retiring early enabled Sue to pursue her craft full time. She paints and repurposes small, wood furniture, windows, art frames, and even repurposes vintage jewelry. The seed for Sue’s craft and creativity was planted by her mother who taught classes at a local craft shop, The Yellow Bow, in Marshalton, PA. As a young girl, Sue went along to the classes and helped her mom teach. Because her mother was a master crafter, Sue has zero creative fear, and will tackle most any challenge. Sue is thrilled to finally be doing what she loves full time, every day. Special shout-out to Sue’s friend Pat who named her business!

Bonus info: Sue is living in the same town (and house!) that she grew up in since the age of 6. She and her husband purchased the house from her parents when it was too much for them to take care of. Sue and her husband raised their two children there and they went to the same schools and even had several of the same teachers and Principals! Now Sue’s granddaughters are doing the same. After many additions, new paint, sweat and tears, our house is a wonderful home to host family and friends for many years to come.
