Locale Makers Market

✨New Maker✨

Hi, I'm Sonia, the artist behind Rooted Wisdom Studio.
What began as a creative outlet became something much deeper after a road trip back home to Colorado and reconnecting with the Rocky Mountains. I was reminded how grounded, peaceful, and connected nature can make us feel. Back in Minnesota, I found that same sense of wonder in our forests, lakes, and changing seasons.
Today, I create one-of-a-kind crystal trees inspired by those landscapes - each piece handcrafted with natural crystals, intention, and the belief that every tree has a story to tell.
Thank you for stopping by and supporting my journey. I hope you find a piece that speaks to your heart. 💙🌲

🍫Sweet news!🍫
Made in Minnesota. Crafted with care. Shared with love.

We’re thrilled to welcome Groveland Confections from Minnetonka, Minnesota, to Locale!

Their handcrafted chocolates are made with exceptional ingredients and the kind of hometown pride you can taste in every bite. From buttery toffee bars and rich milk & dark chocolate caramels to chocolate-covered tart cherries, gooey s’mores bars, and their iconic Minnesota-shaped chocolate bars, every treat is thoughtfully made and absolutely irresistible.

Supporting local never tasted so sweet. Stop by, discover your new favorite indulgence, and help us give another incredible Minnesota maker a warm welcome!

It’s a very busy season for many of our makers.

It's been a little quiet over here because I've been buried in custom orders and building inventory.

Sometimes the work isn't glamorous - it's sanding, painting, staining, waiting for glue to dry, and starting over when something doesn't come out right.

But I wouldn't trade creating with my hands for anything.

Social media has taken a back seat while I worked through orders, but I'm excited to start sharing more of what happens behind the scenes again.

Thanks for sticking around while I traded posting for making.
