New Stocking Holders We’re very excited to introduce our new Heart and Star Stocking Holders for the 2026 holiday season. Ben created these so you can fill them to the tippy-top with coal (I mean diamonds)! (HaHa!) They are heavy so they will support the weight of your brimming stocking (about 3lbs each). You could place these stocking holders on your mantle or on…

The cool air settles, days grow shorter and we move to our indoor spaces. We can follow this natural inclination to bring treasures into our homes. What fun it is to find pieces that speak to us, and welcome them to our spaces! Here are a few favorites that I wanted to share with you. Perhaps they will speak to you? Raven Bat Sculpture…

Hi friends! Happy Fall! Are you racing to catch leaves before they fall in the city park? Are you kicking them up as you stroll with your pumpkin latte?

Maker Product Description, Perfect Flaws Thank you for meeting me here! Last month, I was poking around the perfectly flawed process of a maker. I wondered, how can beautiful imperfections be illuminated? Could we embellish the grit and build more language around what doesn’t work?  I promised to have a go at a product description. Here we are!  I created this description for our…

Maker Marketing:  Perfectly Flawed To make your creative idea by hand and sell it is both an act of triumph and an exercise in futility. Your object is perfectly flawed. This “never quite rightness” is your power. I get it, decades alongside the maker has shown me how difficult it is for you to appreciate the deep value of your imperfect process. But hey,…

I wanted to take a moment to share these beautiful creations made by a fellow Pennsylvania artist.  They are absolutely adorable, and would make the perfect gift.  At a recent art show, my mother Rebecca a rag rug weaver, exhibited near this artist. And when I saw them, I just had to share them with you! You will want to go directly to go…

While I am known to annoyingly remind everyone to, “stay in the moment!” But hey, what’s the harm in a little spring-forward thinking? Right!? Here are a couple of pieces that are gentle reminders of blooms and songs to come! Since we’re already thinking ahead, these would make lovely Easter or Mother’s Day gifts. 💕🌷 Our Robin, of course. And, our dear Bluebird. We…

It is time to wish a fond farewell to a few Gatskis. We’re making space. We believe in bringing you fresh new pieces, and quite honestly we can sometimes teeter into hoarding—so archiving makes good sense. These three pieces will be archived at the end of March, and they will not be made any longer. If you’re interested in any of them until that point, just let us know. Tudor Moose…
