Crazy Lace Agate and Pearl Necklace by Roberta Barclay

Handmaid Home is proud to announce the addition of a new vendor, Roberta Barclay!

Roberta has been making one of a kind, hand crafted jewelry since 1994. Most of her jewelry is made with Natural Pearls and Authentic Gemstones, although she also uses Lampwork Beads, Glass, and CZ beads on some items. It appears there’s something for everyone, so watch for her jewelry to become available soon!

New Fabric Themes for Plastic Grocery Bag Holders

admin — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 11:25:06 +0000

I’m working on adding a greater variety of themes for our plastic grocery bag holders. So far, there’s Bees, Cows, Chickens, Dogs, Fire & Rescue, and Pittsburgh Steelers.

These bag holders are similar in size to our current ones, with a little longer ruffle. Most are 23″ x 22″ diameter, or 23″ x 11″ when laid flat.

Here are some fabric closeups:

Favorite Knit & Crochet Dishcloths in 2009

Our Crochet Dishcloth II remains our best selling crochet dishcloth for two years running!

As for our hand knit dishcloths, the 8″ Round moved up into the top three, displacing the 9″ Ball Band Dishcloth by a nice quantity.

Our Hand Knit Dishcloth I, in the “Grunge Grubber” style, still wins out as number one and remains in the Top Three another year.

Our number three “top seller” is the Knit Fern pattern, which was also a top three seller for 2008.
