Rosebush and the Pursuit of Dreams is the recently released second album in what Karan Singh envisions as a trilogy beginning with his 2010 release, Last Year's Ghosts.  With this release Singh also continues his mission of using a percentage of his album sales to help provide a lifetime of fresh water to people around the world.  So far, his work has been able to provide fresh water to 4 individuals for the rest of their lives. 

Beginning as a fundraiser for the now-closed C{space, Handmade Holiday Dayton has become a yearly must-attend event for artisans and shoppers alike.  2012 marks the first year the event will be held at the Yellow Cab Building, recent home of the Dayton Circus' yearly Side Shows, as well as the introduction of many new local and regional artisans to the show.  Kaleidoscope host Juliet Fromholt visited the Yellow Cab building while organizers and volunteers prepared for the show and spoke with three of the Handmade Holiday organizers about this year's show.
