I am so excited, pleased, honored and proud to be announcing the grand opening of Mama Collaborative!
A couple of months ago I was invited to join a group of extremely talented and creative mother-artisans in a virtual community of support. Together we’ve quietly been working behind the scenes in preparation for our shop opening on March 1st!
I have to tell you, all week I’ve been watching drafts of listings piling up and I am just gobsmacked. The beauty created by these women is mind boggling.
For our first stocking we had kind of a loose spring theme. If you are looking for little toys to slip into Easter baskets, fresh accessories to wear for an Equinox celebration, decorations for your nature table or supplies for you spring crafting, look no further!
*A note to gmail users: with the new gmail layout the newsletter may be delivered under your “promotional” tab. You can drag it to your inbox so that future newsletters, full of crafty goodness, will be delivered directly to your inbox.
You can also help us to get the word out by liking us on Facebook and following us on Instagram. And please do stop by our shop on Tuesday, March 1st and see what all the fuss is about!
And now let me introduce you to my partners! I suspect you’ll recognize a couple of them as some of your favorite bloggers…

This is such a great endeavor and I applaud you beautiful women for coming together and making such beautiful things! Congrats on your new shop!
I think this might be my first comment on your blog. Not sure why because I have been following along for some time. Years maybe? That doesn’t seem possible, but growing family and babies kind of proves it:) I so enjoy your photos, words and the sharing of your story. I really appreciate what you share as well as what you keep private. I think about this a lot whenever I get the crazy idea of hitting that publish button but never have the courage to. I have a short list of blogs that are my very favorites and seven of them are right here! How great is that. Two on the list are new to me, I will have to check them out. I even recognized some of the handiwork before I got to the words. Congratulations ladies.
Oh what a collection of talented creative mamas! Your sneak peeks look amazing and full of all the things I love
