POP.
Did you hear the cork?
Because it’s time to drink champagne and dance on the table.
Just kidding. Maybe.
We’re cutting the studio ribbon, with our giant gold scissors, and some mayor dude who looks like the jovial guy from Monopoly in a top hat. Pretend for a minute, anyway. Because we want you to be here. To be a part of this. This new beginning – a fresh chapter in our little business. And if you’re reading this, we’re very excited to announce that we have The Handmade Home Studio up and running today!
We basically really just want you to have some fun and click around. I feel a little like the teacher who is holding her students from recess to make some announcements. {Hopefully, you’re excited, too, is what we’re getting at.} So I’ll cut to the chase quickly, and you can click around or you can read this post. ;} Or maybe you’re stopping by after clicking around. Or you can ignore this post and click around. So many possibilities. We won’t judge.
Either way, we’re thrilled you’re here clicking around, and hope you’re enjoying our new look.
The main landing page is basically a super simple break down of our three elements:
• 1 • The Blog – Which we’re now back at, full time just like always. Wheeee! We have our main page, and then archived posts can still be accessed just like before.
Posts are organized chronologically under the archives page, and under our gallery page according to subject. It’s the same old stuff, with a different look! If you need to find something on a whim, be sure to try our search bar to the right.
• 2 • The Studio –
Everything you see here is a part of our original line. We had a blast picking and creating and choosing and curating and whittling it down to our very favorites. It’s our deepest wish that this brings you as much joy as it has us. This is a true passion of ours, and we can’t wait to grow from here.
We already have a spring line in the works, and we will be adding new stuff to this collection in the meantime. So check back, and check back often.
Shipping is free. Always. To the continental US. What you see is what you pay so there’s no dirty little surprises at checkout, and you’re all, what?! I ain’t buying that! {Because that’s totally what we always say to the screen when someone tries to charge us an additional fifty dollars in shipping for three items. We go all southern and start throwing things. We don’t want you to do that. We want you to be happy with your one of a kind creations and finds.} We’re keeping it simple for you, and hope this helps.
On international shipping: We’re working on shipping to other countries because it can get a little tricky with that customs stuff. Please be patient with us while we work through our growing pains and figure all this out.
• 3 • Our Design Services – Which are officially back to stay after being put on hold for a brief hiatus so we could get this launched. We have full service and e-service offerings so be sure to check them out!

Join our mailing list to stay plugged in and up to date on happenings, and all our studio creations.
Stay tuned and share! Shameless request for our amazing readers: We would love it if you shared our studio link on social media! {After you score your finds of course-duh ;}} We would love to spread the word – it helps us grow!
We still have a few tweaks to do on our site, as a transition like this was a big one. So we’ll be figuring out all the little things this week. Thank you for staying so patient with us.
We know these aren’t the academies, but you guys have made this little adventure possible, and we’re just very grateful for your support. It means the world to us. We’re so thrilled to launch this today. It’s a new chapter and we have so many more ideas we can’t wait to bring to our site, so keep checking back for more fun digs! This is just the beginning, y’all. Thank you thank you thank you!

Yay, terrific! I’m so glad that you skipped over winter entirely and said that you are working on your spring line. That’s the spirit, I am sticking with you. To hell with fall tablescapes and brown wreaths on the door (kidding! sort of)
