Coming soon: Our holiday pop-up shop!

GC-0145-04

I think I’m a better gift giver than gift receiver.

I love shopping for or making holiday gifts for friends and family. It feels so good to hunt or design that perfect little gift.

But when people start asking me what I want, I freeze. In some ways, I think it’s just part of being an adult. If I want something, I’m usually fine with buying it for myself.

But the exception to this is craft supplies. They are just so full of possibilities, so much fun to receive and to use.

Combine this with the fact that there are so many little tools and doodads I’ve mentioned here on the blog that you guys have asked where to get, and we thought… why not open a little holiday shop?

Gifts for Crafters – The best tools & prettiest supplies

Starting November 12 (the same day we’ll launch our newest products), we’ll also be launching Gifts for Crafters, our online holiday pop-up! There, you’ll find some of our favorite sewing tools, beautiful trims, kits and embroidery patterns from beloved small designers, and gorgeous knitting, sewing, and stitching books.

Seriously, everyone in the office has been drooling over this stuff.

My husband will love this! He’s always in search of quality sewing/knitting toys/supplies for gifts for me. I can point him in the right direction with a few suggestions. I’m still in love with my ginghers I got last year.

Love the labels! Sometimes I don’t even know which way is front on my clothes, and I made them! Can’t very well expect somebody else to know…plus, they’re adorable!
