Our Grandmother was born in 1911 and a graduate of BHS in 1929, the start of “The Great Depression”. She saw the importance of Sustainability, being Creative and Preserving the History of Family and The Community of Logan County.
She married and raised 6 children on a Farm in Belle Center. She became a Genealogist, researching genealogy for families all over the US (before the Internet!)
She handcrafted gifts and reused and saved what she had, because she lived through not having enough. We use these ideals with our Business.
We will be selling Handcrafted Items and Upcycled/Recycled Items for the Home. As well as Digital Designs and Custom Digital Designs for our Customers.
We also will be offering Consignment to Local Artisans, so they will have a place to sell their items locally.
In addition to our upcoming Website, Margaret Emlen, these Artisans, and those who sell Vintage Items, they will have an opportunity for a presence on-line to expand their business with an easily accessible website that puts them first.
By being part of the Community and a focus on Highlighting Local Artisans every month during “First Friday”, it can expand on the Community of Creativity in Downtown Bellefontaine.
