About us

A small studio making handmade goods by hand — and packing the kits and supplies so you can make them yourself.

What we make

Two things, mostly. We assemble finished goods by hand in small batches at [your city, state]: jewelry, hair clips and scrunchies, tote bags and zip pouches, candles and small décor, cards and notebooks, keychains and bag charms.

And we put together DIY kits — every component, finding and tool a project needs, with printed step-by-step instructions — so that making something yourself does not turn into three trips to a craft store for the one part that was missing.

We sell the raw supplies loose as well: beads, findings, pliers, hardware. That started because the question we were asked most often was “can I just buy the clasps?”

Everything ready-made is assembled to order. Nothing sits in a warehouse for a year waiting for someone to buy it.

Why so many departments

Because that is how people actually shop for handmade things. Someone buying a birthday present wants a necklace, a card to go with it and a candle for the host — and does not want three orders, three shipping charges and three parcels arriving on three different days.

One cart, one shipping charge, one box. Free over $49, which most mixed orders clear.

Who we are

[Replace this paragraph with the real story. Two or three sentences is plenty. For handmade goods this page moves more sales than any product description, and it only works if it is true.]

How we describe materials

Handmade goods have a long tradition of vague material language — “silver-tone”, “gold finish”, “genuine crystal”, “natural fibres”. We do not use it. Every listing says what the thing is actually made of:

  • Metal — plated, filled or solid, with the karat or fineness where it applies, in the disclosure terms U.S. law requires.
  • Stones and pearls — “cultured” or “simulated” on anything that is not naturally occurring. We do not write “real”, “genuine” or “natural” unless it is.
  • Fabric — the actual fibre content and weight, so you know whether a tote will hold a laptop or a lemon.
  • Wax — the wax type, the fragrance load, and the burn time we measured rather than the one on the supplier sheet.
  • Paper — weight in gsm or lb, and whether it is coated. It is the difference between a card that stands up and one that flops.

If a listing does not tell you what you need to know, email us and we will confirm the exact composition before you buy.

Where we ship

Within the United States only, for now. Standard shipping is $5.95, free over $49, or $14.95 expedited.
