It’s here!! Decor Boxes have shipped and I am finally revealing all of the beautiful pieces in our Fall/Winter 2022 Makers’ Decor Box! (Did you miss out? Hurry! I have reserved a few for you *RIGHT HERE*, while supplies last!)

As you know, each season, we send out a box packed full of gorgeous home decor, curated from American makers and artists. In the past, we’ve featured everything from pillows, throws, florals, candles, trays, and MORE! I personally curate 8-10 high quality products that have been sourced for their incomparable quality and for your delight! 

Each Makers’ Decor Box debuts the latest issue of “Homemade: The Makers’ Almanac”, our quarterly publication “From: Susie”. Each issue includes photos and features of our makers, alongside style tips to layer your new products.

This issue, we’re featuring Lena Schlabach of Farmhouse Frocks, as well as a recipe and DIY from our in-house expert and my bestie, Amy Williams of Cuter Tudor. I selected the theme of “Intent”, which has become a guiding principle in our family. Come along with us on a trip to Silverthorne, Colorado, where I talk about how we are choosing to be more purposeful in our daily life, one step at a time. As always, my hope is that you’ll find these stories truly inspiring and encouraging.

So without further ado, please scroll on for our BIG reveal!

Real Touch Garland

Each Décor Box has included a touch of greenery in every offering. Susie believes that florals are an essential part of décor and one of the easiest ways to add a seasonal touch to your home. This Real Touch Garland was hand selected by her while her sourcing products for the shop in Atlanta, Georgia. This realistic-looking pine cedar is virtually perfect and when you realize it’s artificial, you’ll have to take a second look! The perfect way to bring low maintenance greenery into the home, this marvelous evergreen looks amazing in an entryway, hallway, family room, over the fireplace mantle or hung on the stair railing. Keep it for years to come and enjoy it each season.

Sourced by Susie Robb Brinck, From: Susie.

In 2018, Susie bought a small shop, Curtis Creation and rebranded it in 2019 to From: Susie. With no formal experience, she built a retail brand of curated goods and designs for the home, all while raising her two children as a single mom. Now exclusively online, Shopfromsusie.com is committed to supporting the artists, makers and being “loyally local.” Susie has expanded the brand to include a turnkey interior design firm, a non-profit design foundation, a podcast and a magazine.

Stay Put Towel Set

These towels are one hundred percent high quality cotton flour sack towels which feature black ticking stripes down the middle. Each set has black snaps that allow the towel to be wrapped around a towel bar, and oven or dishwasher handle when snapped in the front which allows the towels to stay put where you hang them. In addition, each towel includes a hanging loop, so you can style the towels differently if you choose.

Made by Alicia Prause, Gainesville, Virginia

Alicia is the owner of The Blessed Peach, home of the ‘Stay Put Towel.’  A Virginia native, she enjoys traveling, crafting, scrapbooking, spending time with family and friends, and her fur babies. She loves to decorate, especially for each holiday and season. What began as a frustration, soon became a business! “I did not like that my towels kept falling off my stove or dishwasher handle. In my search for towels that would stay put and not fall, I could not find towels that looked classy and fit my decor theme as well.  So, I decided to make kitchen and bath towels that stay put. Hence, The Blessed Peach – Home of the Stay Put Towel (TM) was started!” she says. 

Simply hold the towel with the front facing you, then grab each corner with snaps in your hands. Next, take the top two corners and lay them over your towel bar, and pull the side with the snaps down some. Take each corner with the snaps and bring them to the front. Finally, snap the towel together and adjust to your liking. If you would like to watch a video on how to display your towel with different folds, please visit her Etsy Shop: The Blessed Peach. Under the “about” section, you will find a video that provides step by step instructions.

Made by Amish Women, Millersburg, Ohio

Lena Schlabach is the founder and creator of Farmhouse Frocks. Born and raised in the Amish faith in Holmes County, Ohio, her longing for dresses to be embellished and made special began at any early age. As she grew older, she struggled to find clothing that was stylish and complemented her figure as a plus sized woman. Therefore, in 2014, after years of wearing ill-fitting department store clothing, she decided to start her own company. What began with one Amish seamstress helping bring her fashion visions to life, soon turned into a team of seven seamstresses sewing in her basement. Today, Farmhouse Frocks employs a team of thirty-five Amish seamstresses and has a successful brick and mortar store with an online store that ships worldwide.
