Owner of Lilypad Crafts

Lilypad Crafts blossomed from my passion for all things arts and crafts. I have been an avid collector of hobbies for my entire life, and I created Lilypad Crafts as a way to flex my creative muscles and make art that spreads joy. Lilypad Crafts aims to brighten your day with unique and sustainable pieces. Whether it be yarn scraps, beads from broken jewelry, or old fabric and clothes needing a new life, I believe that a little bit of creativity can give old materials a second life.

Owner of love, chloerose

love, chloerose is my small, woman-owned business made as an outlet for my love for sewing. I started with gift bags, because I wanted to create an easy, pretty, and reliable way to wrap gifts. In fact, the name of the company itself is inspired by the signature at the end of a card, so the whole idea started with gifting. I then decided to add hairbows to the mix. They have been my favorite accessory for my whole life, and once I started making them, I couldn’t stop! Most recently, I solidified a design for the gift bows. It seemed like a natural next step. After many, many renditions, I came across the version you see today.
