Happy Sunday ☀️

Sundays are for slowing down… and appreciating the little things — like these microcrochet earrings 🧶✨

Tiny stitches. Delicate detail. Lightweight enough you’ll forget you’re wearing them… but pretty enough that everyone else will notice. 💕

They’re perfect for:
• Church or brunch
• Spring outfits
• Teacher gifts
• Or adding a little handmade charm to your everyday look

Each pair is carefully handcrafted with so much love (and patience 😉).

Comment your favorite color or stop my Main Street Merchants in Plano and grab a pair — because Sundays are a great day to treat yourself. 💌✨

How cute are these?! 🥰

My crocheted Grandma & Grandpa eyeglass holders are the most adorable way to keep track of your readers! No more “Where did I put my glasses?” 🤓

They sit sweetly on your nightstand, desk, or end table — and when you’re ready for bed, just tuck your glasses right in. Functional + handmade + guaranteed to make you smile. 🧶💛

These make the PERFECT gift for:
• Grandparents
• New grandparents
• Mother’s Day or Father’s Day
• Or just because 💕

Each of these are available at Main Street Merchants in Plano.

Day One – Hair down: feeling cute.
Day Two – Ponytail Day: Practical but still put together.
Day Three – Hat Day: And I’ve got the PERFECT hat. 🙌

These granny square hats are giving sporty + handmade + adorable all in one. Lightweight, comfy, and cute enough to wear straight from the the school drop of line to lunch.

If you’re on your third-day hair and still want to look pulled together… I’ve got you covered. 😉

At Main Street Merchants in Plano! 💚

Well aren’t they just the sweetest little shelf sitters? 🪿🤍

These crochet geese are still in the “almost ready” stage and not quite prepared for their debut at Main Street Merchants… but they’re getting close!

Soft, squishy, and full of cozy charm, they are PERFECT for all my grandma core or grannychic lovers out there. Think vintage kitchens, soft florals, heirloom quilts, and a sweet little goose perched on a shelf watching it all. 💙

They’ll be waddling into the shop soon… stay tuned!

Who else is loving the grandmacore vibe lately? 🧵✨
