Shop Small Weekend: A Little Thank You From My Studio Bench
Shop Small Weekend: A Little Thank You From My Studio Bench
There’s something about this time of year — the quiet shift from autumn into winter, the way the days seem to fold in on themselves — that makes me pause. Before the rush of gifting and gathering, I’m reminded of how deeply grateful I am for the people who continue to find meaning in these small, handcrafted relics.
Every piece I make begins the same way: a spark of intuition, a story whispered through metal or stone, and the hope that it will eventually find the person it was meant for. That part never gets old.
And so, as we step into one of the biggest shopping weekends of the year, I wanted to offer a gentle thank you — something simple, meaningful, and true to the spirit of Shop Small.

Whether you’re finding something for yourself or choosing a gift with intention, this weekend is my way of saying thank you for supporting small makers — not just in November, but all year long.
A note about handmade
Every letter stamped, every stone set, every photograph-turned-print passes through my hands. Nothing here is mass-produced. It’s slow work, intuitive work — the kind of making that feels like a conversation between you and the object itself.
Your support keeps that conversation alive.
Thank you for being here
If you choose to shop this weekend, thank you.
If you’re simply reading this, also thank you.
This little corner of the world exists because of people who value story, symbolism, and the quiet magic of handmade things.
Wishing you a grounded, peaceful start to the holiday season
— MJ
