Happy Thursday! Eve here, filling in this week for our resident ‘Thoughtful Thursday” blogger, KaringVibes. I have been thinking a lot about what I would like to share with you all today, but instead of offering a tip, or a thought, I wanted to actually take my time to applaud each of you and remind you all to pat yourselves on the back.

Why did you turn to your handmade craft into a business?
I have always had a love for creating; whether painting, decorating, crafting, or sewing. After the arrival of my daughter, I quickly realized that there was a lack of clothing that fit my style – I adore crisp lines, bold accents, granny chic, and a lived-in feel.

Wall hangs… we all want them, we all have the perfect wall space for one, but how are we supposed to pick when there are so many phenomenal macrame artists out there? That question can only be answered one way: buy them all!
Where to being?!
First & foremost, I’d like to thank all of our amazing vendors who took part in our first West Elm x Handmade Loves collaboration! We hope your time was as special as ours and that each of you had the day you’d hope for! To be honest, as I looked through photos from the event, I almost couldn’t believe it had happened!
