I love feeling the spring in the air. It seems somewhat pivotal in a way. Last spring so much was just beginning, not all of which was good. It may be optimistic to think that we have moved past the long year we have had but I am going to stick with it and look forward to a better year.

So much has happened in the last year to move us to a much more productive and blessed community. I am so impressed with how our shop owners have stepped up and made it happen. I f you haven’t read about how we got to this point, you should read our story here and see for yourself how far we have come! Thankfully, what has not changed with this community is our commitment to the tradition of true handmade while embracing more modern styles and techniques. We started in handmade and years later it is still our passion. One thing we can promise you is that we will remain Obsessively Handmade.

Celebrating Spring has us all excited so we decided to run an Easter sale! It is coming up right around the corner and I have personally seen some of the pieces in this sale you will want to check it out. Some of our cutest things to date in my opinion. Make sure you are in our Facebook group so you don’t miss out. You can find it at this link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ourplacecollective
