Here’s what we’re working on in the 1840 Farm Studio. Click on a photo to enlarge.
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
Do you remember our Farmhouse Style wine trivets from last year's holiday season? This year, we've added a length of handwrapped fabric coil to use as a drip collar. These sets make great hostess gifts and are also perfect for shipping as they are lightwe
Since opening The 1840 Farm Mercantile Shop on Etsy, we've mailed out more than 425 orders. It's hard to believe that we've sent more than 500 baskets and other items to customers in the U.S., Canada, Alaska, and Australia. Yet here I sit, writing a han
How about a little patchwork blue basket to start the day?
I just added this Small Egg Basket to our shop. I love this earthy combination of colors in cinnamon, sage, buttercup, and eggplant. I hope that you like it as much as I do! www.1840farm.etsy.com
I love how this Large Tote Basket is coming together at the sewing machine tonight. This combination of chocolate brown, sage green, tan, wisteria, and blue is even prettier than I hoped it would be!
Yesterday, I asked if you were ready for our Holiday Collection to start filling up The 1840 Farm Mercantile Shop on Etsy. You answered with a resounding yes. So, here I am settled in at the sewing machine stitching up baskets to do just that. Stay tuned
Let's make the third basket something bright and cheery!
This seems like a good way to end my day at the sewing machine, don't you think? #1840farm #fabric #basket #sew #handmade #etsyshop

Take a look at what's first in line at the sewing machine this morning. Isn't this a lovely combination of fabrics?
Remember the purple tote basket I was working on earlier? Here it is all finished and full of purples in all sorts of colors and patterns. The photo doesn't do justice to the scale of this Large Market Tote Basket. This basket is over eight inches tall
Our End of the Year Sale is still going on strong in our Etsy Shop. There are three items in stock and ready to ship that have been marked down by more than 25%! Selling these beautiful Fall items at such an extreme discount will make room for our Sprin
This Small Table Basket was just added to our shop. This beautiful basket makes three listings all in fall colors added today. It's beginning to look more like fall in our shop!
As I stitch at the sewing machine, this beautiful handwrapped cord is calling to me. I love this combination of fabrics and can't wait to watch it come together. I just need to decide what to make with it. What do you think I should make? #1840farm #fa
Suddenly, my little studio is the place where Thanksgiving and Christmas decor collide!

This is a lovely way to begin my Friday morning!
Perhaps I can finish a basket for our shop before shitting down the sewing machine for the day. Wish me luck!
I am at the sewing machine stitching up several Farmhouse Style Mason Jar Vase Kits this morning. They'll be coming to the shop this week in a rainbow of colors, so stay tuned!
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
It has been a very dreary Sunday here at 1840 Farm. We haven't seen the sun all day, so I decided to stitch together a basket that includes a combination of cheery fabrics. This is one of our patchwork baskets. They are made using the pieces of hand wr

I am applying discounts to every item from our Berry Collection in our Etsy Shop. We need to make room for the Fall Collection to join the shop later this week. Quantities are limited, but all of the fabric and paper items are on sale through Wednesday.
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
On Thursday, I asked if you thought that I should add sets of our 1840 Farm Colonial Farmhouse Collection Placesetting Table Baskets stitched together in fall colors to our shop. It was clear from your comments that you're hoping to use these little bas
Part of my motivation for reimagining my studio space was to reorganize our fabric stash and find room for additional storage bins. I often tell people that we have a rainbow of fabrics on hand. Today, I thought that I would show you that fabric rainbow.
I hope that you're ready for a whole collection of new baskets to be added to our shop this weekend!
Another patchwork basket is in the works.
Our Thanksgiving table items are coming along nicely if I do say so myself. I even discovered that our handwrapped fabric coil makes a lovely napkin ring. I hope that you like it as much as I do!
Yesterday's pink basket with gingham and polka dots was so popular that I made another one. I just added Small Egg Basket #0521 to our shop. I hope that you like this pink beauty as much as yesterday's! www.1840farm.etsy.com
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

First up at the sewing machine this morning...
Are you ready for a flood of new listings to our Etsy shop? I hope so, because all of these and more are headed your way this afternoon. www.etsy.com/shop/1840Farm
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
