It has been a gloomy, rainy day here in Southern New Hampshire today. At least there's a bit of bright color turning at the sewing machine. Watching these cheery colors go around and around certainly helps me to ignore the dreary day outside! Now that I
Today is the order deadline for guaranteed pre-Christmas delivery of custom order items from our Etsy Shop. I think that makes it the perfect day to add gift certificates to our shop, don't you? With a gift certificate, there's no need to worry about ha
Perhaps I can finish a basket for our shop before shitting down the sewing machine for the day. Wish me luck!
You may have noticed that the inventory of handmade baskets in our shop has been slim lately. We're making new baskets every day, but they are selling faster than we can make them. Many of them have sold within the first five minutes and others haven't

You can't seem to get enough of our Valentine's Day Collection, so we'll keep right on stitching hearts as long as you want us to. I know that many of you are checking our shop multiple times each day in the hopes of finding a few more heart shaped basket

I have been busy designing our 1840 Farmhouse Style Fall Placesetting Table Basket Set. Five of the six baskets are finished with one more on the way by the end of the day. Then they'll be added to our shop and I'll share the listing with you here on o
For all of you who have been wondering why there aren't any baskets listed for sale in our Etsy Shop, the answer is simple. We can't make them fast enough! We're making them as fast as we can, but they just aren't lasting very long. I just added Small
I hope that you're ready for a whole collection of new baskets to be added to our shop this weekend!
Let's start our day in the studio with a bit of cranberry and sage. #1840farm #fabric #egg #basket #handmade #repurposed #etsyshop
Remember the Medium Egg Basket I made earlier today in bold primary colors? I just added it to our shop. I love this combination of bold, bright colors. They're seasonless. I find it hard not to smile when looking at these fabrics twirled together
My morning at the sewing machine is off to a lovely beginning!
I just love how this fall themed basket is coming together, don't you?
It's hot and humid outside, so I'm settled in at the sewing machine inside the farmhouse today. This Large Tote Basket is taking shape in shades of blue, peach, deep purple, sage green, and cream. I love this combination and can't wait to put the finish
There's something about the combination of red, brown, and yellow in this table basket that I absolutely love. Wouldn't it be perfect on a Thanksgiving table? www.etsy.com/shop/1840Farm
I sat down at the sewing machine to turn this lovely assortment of fabrics into a patchwork basket for our shop. Now I can't decide what type of basket I should make: egg basket, table basket, or oval harvest basket. What do you think? #1840farm #Farmh
Earlier today, I promised to start working on our Halloween Collection and share photos of my progress with you. A promise is a promise, so here's a look at what I was working on this afternoon. I hope that you like these items as much as I do. I can't w

I just added a preorder listing for our Apple Harvest exclusive fabric. So many of you had asked that I let you place your orders while our fabric is in production and now you can. We'll be placing another order before the end of the week and will add i
Sometimes, I fall in love with a basket from the very first stitch. This is one of those times!
A rainy afternoon seems like the perfect reason to settle in at the sewing machine.

Our Fall Collection is starting to take shape...
A few of our most popular product ideas have been generated by our 1840 Farm Community. You asked for fabric trivets and coasters and they have been a hit with our customers. Then you asked for a basket that had longer handles to be carried over your wr
