Tiger Iron is a stone of strength, courage, and stamina. It is said to be helpful in self healing from chronic illnesses. It assists in maintaining willpower for giving up bad habits and sticking to diet and exercise programs.

This year holidays seem to be hitting just a little bit harder. Whatever you think about the virus, the one fact no one can deny is that most of us have lost or know someone who has lost someone to Covid. We know people that have lost family, friends, jobs and more. So many people have changed careers because of it. Many found comfort in things from the past  and took the time to relearn some of those things from your memories. In all the turmoil of the last year, one thing I refuse to see as anything other than a miracle is people slowing back down. People finding comfort in their families. A meal around the table together. Letting their creative sides out to play. It feels like the past and the future coming together in unexpected ways. Traditions are becoming more important than ever and there is a pull to preserve the way things were done before things became so automated.

Mother’s Day is already filled with thoughts of past and future Moms and the impact they have made. Handmade is a huge part of those traditions and making new ones in the future. Please join us in honoring Mom’s this weekend with our first annual Mother’s Day Spoil Her Bigly with Handmade Mother’s Day sale from Our Place Handmade!

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.
