Powered by coffee, indecision, and the inability to focus!

 

I have a love for all things crafty and weird. My shop is fairly new and I'm working hard to focus and develop a style in an effort to curate a wee shop filled with quality handmade goods that are fun, interesting, and affordable.

 

Currently I'm focusing on creating the highest quality luxury candles and fun, funky earrings. I started making candles in December of 2018 but my love of creating really started in 2015 when my husband bought me a chop saw and I started making a mess in our garage. I've never looked back (or really cleaned the garage) and my curiosity has lead to various evolutions in creativity.

 

I pride myself on sourcing from companies in the USA and using natural soy waxes in my candles and wooden wicks. My candle vessels are purchases from US companies as well. All candles are poured in small batches using phthalate fee fragrance oils. I recycle most of my packing materials and avoid the use of plastic as much as possible.

 

I started making enamel earrings in the spring of 2019 after seeing a cute pair on Etsy and then hearing the voice of my mother in my head "I can make that" (something she said constantly in my childhood and she was right!). 

​

While most items are handcrafted by myself I love to bring in the talents of other makers from across the country to share their curiosity, expertise, and passion for their chosen craft.

 

Thank you so much for shopping in my store. Every purchase made humbles me, fills me with gratitude, and fuels my passion to create.
