A Quiet Life Handmades

06/16/2026

Hey y’all, how’s everybody doing? 😊 Just checking in. It’s been one month since the storefront closed and I’m (kind of…maybe) getting back to some kind of normal. 😁 Life has been a bit different than expected but I’m excited to be getting back to work. 😉 The worktable may have changed but there are still so many lovelies in progress. My summer book stack seems to be growing but I’m enjoying this new chapter in my story. I’m planning on spending the rest of summer preparing for fall and holiday shows with new designs and new styles in both the jewelry and scarves. That usually means some quiet stepping away but never fear…I’m still at it! Hope y’all can take some time to step away and focus on the good stuff. 😊❤️

I look forward to this one every year! Mark your calendars now…it’s one of the best! And yes, I’m already working on new lovelies. 😉😊🎉

Gibs has left the building….and so has everything else. It may be a while before my back recovers as I’ve really had to push through the past few days…and I’m not sure my house will ever be in order again…but it is finished.
I’ll be back to making lovely things again soon but I think I’ll take a little time to adjust to this new normal.

05/25/2026

If you missed Nancy at our Grand Closing party, guess what?! You can see her Saturday at the Hallmark store at Alamance Crossing, 1-3p. 😁

05/25/2026

And just like that, it’s gone. Before, during and after. If you ever need a quality, dependable company to create, install…or uninstall…a sign I highly recommend Lee Ball at Downforce Graphics Co.
A few more days, a few more boxes, a few more pickups and it will all be done by the weekend.

05/23/2026

Sure looks a lot different than last Saturday. If you look closely in one photo you can see Gibs waiting patiently by the back door. He’ll be heading home with me soon. ‘Til then, he’s still standing watch over the proceedings. 😉

05/23/2026

Good Saturday morning! I’ll be in the shop at 10 this morning for those that still need to pick up their things.
Our little space is nearly empty, it echoes when we talk and it looks a lot bigger than it did when it was full of lovelies!😊 I’ll be tying up all loose ends in the coming week, then handing over the keys. Reach out if you haven’t already and need to snag something….the days are dwindling.
I hope you and yours enjoy a safe and restful Memorial Day weekend. 🇺🇸

05/22/2026

Hey hey, it’s Friday! I’ll be in the shop from around noon til 3-ish for pickups.

There is something deeply special about things made by hand. Not because they are flawless, but because they carry the quiet fingerprints of effort, patience, and love. Every stitch, every tiny imperfection, and every careful detail is proof that someone gave a piece of themselves to create something meaningful. In a world that often rushes toward perfection, handmade things remind us that sincerity will always be more beautiful than flawless results. ✨

So if your work feels imperfect, keep going anyway. The heart behind what you create matters far more than perfect lines or perfect outcomes. The most treasured things in life are often the ones made with care, passion, and genuine intention — because people may forget perfection, but they never forget something made with love. 🤍

Happy Thursday! I’ll be in the shop for a bit this morning, 11-1-ish, then again this afternoon for a while around 3. If you need to pick up and haven’t set a time please reach out so I’ll be sure to make myself available. 👍🏻
