Saturday stroll through our shop! Betcha’ didn’t know we carry worm jewelry holders… or an NFL succulent!?

What makes us different is our artists. ✨ We scoured high and low for artists that were truly local, truly handmade, and truly believed in our mission too. ❤️

We’re on a mission to empower individuals with special needs, and to platform artists with autism and related challenges. We believe in building the kind of inclusive workspace that the world needs, right now.

We hope you’ll join us! 🫶

We LOVE our state. The nature. The flavors. The midwest generosity. The fact that we can show people where we live on our HANDS! 🙌 It doesn’t get much better than being a Michigander.

Our artists aren’t shy about their love for our great state either — Michigan is the source of creative inspiration all throughout the shop!

Stop in when you need a little mitten fix! 👋

We remember and honor all the lives we lost on 9/11. So many brave individuals made the ultimate sacrifice to help their fellow man, and may we never lose sight of our shared humanity in the face of divisiveness. ❤️🇺🇸
