Welcome to Mandolin Babe's Pickin' Parlour,where you'll find a huge selection of music books,DVDs,and small instruments.

What you'll find here that is unusual is the selection of products made by independent craftspeople,not mass made by corporations such as dulcimer noters,5th string banjo capos and so on.

I also have a line of homecrafted accessories called FiddleBelle. I make items for fiddle,mandolin,banjo,and mountain dulcimer. I have a love of sewing,crocheting,and knitting and I love offering unique items that will reflect the personality of the player. I am open to requests of colors or print designs so if you have something specific in mind do contact me!

I'm a multi instrumentalist who has played for many years. I started on guitar at 11,and proceeded as years went by to pick up other instruments and my passion continues to deepen and grow. Old time music is my main love,tho I also enjoy gypsy jazz and blues.
