Where My Minnesota Locals At?
Uncovering the best in Handmade and Small Business
Highlights:
Inspired by vintage clothing and embroidery of the 1950's. What customers ask for the most is to customize their jean jackets.
As lifelong crafters, Minnesota mother-daughter duo Brittany and Debbie of B+D Custom Crafts have always had a passion for creativity and creating personalized pieces for their own friends and family.
I’m a Minneapolis-based fine artist and illustrator. A lot of the work that I do is pop art and portraiture (animals, people, and bottles of beer). I often work with themes of social justice and feminism, too, drawing attention to unfair and outdated social norms.
My Craftsman Nouveau style is graphic, clean and has a rich distinctive color palette. It was originally rooted in the Arts and Crafts Movement and Art Nouveau but with a modern feel.
I love to use bright delicious colors and cute animals which tends to draw people in for a closer look and then they might notice that deer has 2 heads or that cat has a dinosaur body. I call it 'Ceramic Taxidermy" I splice and dice everything up to make my own creatures like some magical witch.
I love when my prints arrive and when I finish an item and put the little tag on it. Every time it makes my heart skip a beat. I'm incredibly grateful that this is my work.
We are a small independent fabric, yarn, craft and gift shop. We specialize in a wide variety of fabrics, yarns and craft supplies as well as a wide selection of handmade and vintage gifts & cards, jewelry, baby and home decor.
We currently sell two blends of Fast Mary's Bloody Mary Enhancer - Mild Bangin' Blend and Hot & Bothered Blend. Both blends offer a well-balanced mix of spices for our bloody mary consumers.
Our signature style is humor and sarcasm. One of our first cross stitch was the “Stupid Dreams” piece suggesting that artists never give up on them.
We’re still building our database.
Do you know local businesses in your city that you think should we should check out?!
Our top sellers change each month because cards are so seasonal but we have a couple cards that have been top sellers since year 1: “Isn’t it weird to think we’re celebrating the day you came out of a vagina? Happy Birthday!”
