Holy Handmade, Batman!

Beautiful Things, Gift, Handmade, Ithacans

We try to be “Locavores” in every way possible. Keeping cultural and economic power within a community instead of frequenting the big-box stores is an amazing thing!

Lately, we’ve been searching out some of our favorite local artisans to bring you beautiful products made right here in upstate New York. One of out favorite local lines, One Swell Gal, flies off the shelves every time we put it out! Handmade products like hers have such an innate personal charm! Here are some other handmade accessories we are carrying right now in the store. Enjoy :).

These two necklaces are from Trumansburg artist Carissa Mann Parlato. Her line, C (Star) Studio, has beautiful artisan statement jewelry.

This necklace is by one of our favorite customers and artists, Cady Fontana. Each bird charm is totally handmade, unique, and adorable.

Super cute earrings made by local Girl Scout Troop 374. For the reasonable price of $4.00 you can support the Girl Scouts and accessorize!

Here are some lovely Belle Epock hairpins. Dressing up your hair can be fun and feathery!

Amazing Gift Idea #2

Beautiful Things, Gift

We’ve had a Forgotten Sage scented Votivo candle lit on our desk at Petrune for the past month or so, and the reactions from people who come in and have a sniff are the greatest.

“It smells like my grandma’s house!”

“That’s the kind of smell that just makes you feel warm and cozy.”

“It smells like spring in here…”

While Forgotten Sage is a personal favorite, each scent is so uniquely awesome that we’ve slowly begun cycling through all of them in the store. They make the perfect gift as well! Give one of these wonderful scents this holiday season :).

Winter Cranberry and Christmas Sage

Many sizes and varieties!

We also have fragrance mists, for your body or your sheets.

 

Amazing Gift Idea #1

Beautiful Things, Gift

We are honestly having a hard time everyday not snapping up all these necklaces for ourselves! Brand new in the store from White Owl Jewelry, these lace statement necklaces are as beautiful and intricate as they are blissfully simple. Made by two sisters in Michigan who give new life to vintage pieces, each one has a unique handmade charm while still being as classy as Michelle Obama. We have a number of colors and styles in the store right now, and they’re going rather quickly if the first few days are any indication!
