Butterfly Garage Boutique

Butterfly Garage is an online artisan boutique. Each product is designed and handcrafted using, in most cases, environmentally friendly materials. Please see galleries for examples of the products that are currently in production. Right now the shelves are in the process of being stocked, but special advance orders can be placed. If you would like to put in a special advanced order, I would be happy to accommodate you, and can make the product to your liking. Email me at butterflygarage@gmail.com with a subject line of “Butterfly Garage advance order”, and we can correspond from there!! Please also keep an eye out for upcoming festival/craft sale events so you can come buy from me in person! Dates are TBA! Look forward to meeting you!

Exciting News!

A year ago, I recieved an email from an etsy customer who wished to purchase two of my upcycled teddy bears. She worked for a well known publishing company and was in the process of sourcing toys and softies to use in a baby board book. I of course was thrilled with the honor to have a handcrafted item of mine considered for this book!

I sold her the bears and filled out some forms, and for the next couple of months, periodically thought about how the process was going. Last year was a busy year for me and I ended up forgetting all about this, but today I just received a parcel from the publisher with the book inside!

The book is printed in 4 languages and sold all over the world! My striped teady bear was featured on the last page! I was completely elated and over the moon! It is such an affirmation to me that this is my dream job! To create and to have people enjoy what I create!

Book can be purchase at Borders, Burlington Coat Factory, Ross, Texas Bookman and Beall's.

Read below for an update on the past few months:

The Christmas craft sale season was a wildly successful adventure! I loved getting into the community and seeing all my customers face to face. If you came out to buy green, handmade presents from me, I am extremely grateful to you, and urge you to check my sites often to see new products that you might be interested in!

For the next few months I will be focusing on production, and listing items on my etsy shop. There will the favorite stand-bys: Stuffed owls, teddy bears, hot water bottle covers, coffe cup sleeves, and flower accessories, but I will also be adding a few new items! I am so excited to make these, post them and gauge customer reaction!

Please check back often to see the new goods being posted in my etsy shop!

Happy New Years!!!!
