Crafty Cousins Shoppe
Meet the Maker
Welcome to Crafty Cousins Shoppe! Our shop is a family affair, brought to life by myself, my niece, nephews, and daughter. Even my young great-niece loves to pitch in with her creative ideas. We each have our own special skills, and together, we've created something really special.
Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future
Growing up, I was surrounded by handmade decorations and decor made by my grandmother and great-aunt. Those pieces, especially during the holidays, filled our home with warmth and love. I learned to sew and embroider from my mom, and it’s such a joy to keep these traditions alive while also encouraging the next generation to explore their creative sides.
Sustainability for a Better Tomorrow
We love retro-inspired patterns and décor because it reminds us of those generations before us who inspired us and passed on their skills. We’re also passionate about a sustainable future for the next generations. That’s why we’re committed to creating eco-friendly products and using reclaimed/eco-friendly materials where possible. Items such as our embroidered flour sack tea towels, crochet reusable re-usable face rounds and oyster shell ring dishes practical and eco-friendly while adding a little beauty to your life. We want our creations to be kind to the planet and enjoyed for years to come.
Thank you for visiting our shop and letting us share a piece of our family with you. We hope our creations bring a touch of joy and nostalgia to your home!
How it’s Made
The embroidery designs are transferred to the bag with a wash away stabilizer and hand embroidered. The appliques are made of cotton fabric and attached to bag with an iron-on backing. They are then secured with embroidery around the applique. The bag is by washing and ironing.
