this is my favorite kind

Made just for you — or for somebody you love

I do two things here. Ready-to-go pieces, made in small batches, which you can just ask me about. And custom, personalized pieces, made to your idea — a name, a color, a design, an occasion.

The easiest way to start is to send me a message with the idea, even if it is only half-formed. I will take it from there and tell you what is possible.

what I can change

The details that make it theirs

Almost everything I make can be changed in some way. Here is what people ask for most often.

Names and lettering

A name on a tumbler, a family name on a wooden sign, a monogram on a tote bag. Tell me the wording and I will lay it out so it sits right.

Your colors

Match a team color, a nursery, a wedding palette, or just the color your person actually reaches for. Send me a swatch and I will work from it.

Their favorite thing

A motif, a hobby, a phrase they say all the time — the little details are what make a gift feel like it was made for them, because it was.

Sets and quantities

A set of coasters, a basket of a few different pieces, or the same mug for a whole team — more than one is just fine.

Occasion gifts

Weddings, new babies, birthdays, holidays, teacher gifts, business thank-yous. Tell me who it is for and what the occasion is.

A design you already have

Have a logo or an image in mind? Send it over in the message and I will tell you honestly how well it will work.

a word about timing

Ready-to-go pieces can usually move quickly. Custom and personalized pieces need a little more lead time, because they get made from scratch — and the closer it gets to a holiday, the fuller my table is. So if you have a date in mind, tell me early and I will tell you honestly whether I can make it.

Send me the idea

Write it the way you would say it out loud. “Two tumblers with my sisters’ names on them in pink” is a perfect first message.

Prefer to just call or text?

That works too — it is usually the fastest way to reach me.

Tell me about your custom piece

Names, colors, how many, when you need it — anything you already know helps. We can work out the rest together.

A phone number or an email is enough — whatever you would rather I use.

Nothing is charged here. This just starts the conversation.

Would you rather just talk? Call or text (218) 791-8180 and tell me about it. Or email browse what I make first.
