California: Housewares
We are two sisters who love sourcing the very best of natural and organic products. Everything we offer, from laundry and cleaning products to detoxifying Salt Sprays, we strive to find or make the very best available so we can pass it on to our customers. We believe personal health and the health of the planet go hand-in-hand therefore many of our products are plastic-free and refillable or reusable as well as clean and healthy!
My vintage graphic coasters are my most popular product.
Cheltenham Road actually started with furniture. I would find an old, damaged piece, repair it, refinish it and sell it. For one market I made a bunch of coasters out of scrap wood intending to just use them as a decorative accent in my booth but they sold out almost immediately.
I love when I try a new technique and really enjoy the outcomes. My favorite parts of ceramics is throwing on the wheel and the end when I see the results. My least favorite part is trimming.
Perhaps the most satisfying part of it all is when someone wants us to make a custom piece, but they can’t quite put into words what it is they want. Working that person to actualize their vision is such a great joy.
I love throwing pots more than just about anything.
What sets us a part is our aesthetic and simple yet complex fragrances. Our style of the look of our products and fragrances is for them to be modern and suit any palette. The design matches almost all decor and our fragrances are very neutral where most people like the entire line.
My world has expanded amazingly by putting all my love and energy into what makes me happy. This is my happy place and I just want to spread as much of my happiness as possible. And that is why HAPPI*NESS HANDCRAFTED has been the best thing to ever happen to me.
I create designs that celebrate things we love ~ cats, dogs, cupcakes and even vegetables. I started with an ice cream design because to me it's colorful, makes a great pattern and is well liked so I also added the words...I Like Ice Cream.
