Fall Picks at Homespun
It’s September now, which means our beautiful little shop is decked out in Fall goodness, a theme we call “Get Your Fall Picks at Homespun.” We have a shiny-red-apple new window display, and everyone on staff has picked their fall essentials and labeled them with a red paper apple. We have fun here.
And our mannequin is looking cozy and stylish, as usual.
New in the Shop
Lots of new goodies on the sales floor to share with you, as usual!
Postcards by Haven Paperie made in Indy, re-stock on Hoosier Mama bloody mary mixes with new flavor, sriracha, made in Indy, Anne Holman earrings from Columbus, OH and Indiana city-themed charm bracelets from Daisy Mae Design from Lewis Center, OH.

Hand-Felted Soap: Saturday, September 5th, 11-12:30: Yummy-smelling soaps with a soft, built-in washcloth – how’s that for practical? Hand-felted soaps look beautiful, smell good enough to eat, and will take your bathtime rituals up a notch. Wrapped in soft – not scratchy! – naturally anti-fungal wool, these soaps lather fragantly, last longer than regular soaps, and provide added exfoliation to leave your skin feeling extra pampered. Over time, the wool will shrink around the soap, leaving you with a small pouch that you can cut open and use with another bar of soap. Makes a great gift!
Book Signing and Knit-In with Joan of Dark: Thursday, September 10th, 6-8pm: If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, surely you’ve daydreamed about having your own Direwolf. Joan of Dark, local knitter and author, can make that happen! Join us this evening and knit along with the author as she signs copies of her newest book, “Geek Knits.”
