We restocked these 3 crosses yesterday— from left to right: Peruvian walnut, mahogany, and cherry. They’re sold wood 3-bar crosses with a hole drilled in the back so they are ready to hang! A woodworker in CO (the same one who made those beautiful shelves we shared the other day!) makes them for us, and you can find them in the Home + Prayer section of our shop.

Not to make too big a deal of it, but at this point is writing a hand written letter an act of resistance to the overlords who want us to surrender our creativity to AI and our fine motor skills to screens? You don’t need fancy cards, but if you enjoy beautiful art and supporting artists who make stationery (not because the profit margin is life changing, but because we want to see lovely cards out there in the world!), you can find a wide selection from Orthodox artists on our website! This card is an original work of art by Kathryn Tussing

Brand new! Check out the gorgeous new corner shelves we just added to the Home + Prayer section of our website. They’re handmade of solid wood by an Orthodox woodworker in CO, and the three bar cross on the front is inlaid within the budded cross. They come with mounting brackets and hardware. Dimensions are 8” x 8” x 11.25”, and they are perfect for a small prayer corner.
(Beeswax tealight is from St Tikhon’s Monastery, and also available in the Home + Prayer section of our website!)

These plates are called “Blue Blessing Plates” and they’re custom-made for a small business owned by an Orthodox family. They’re great quality, food and dishwasher safe, and come in a storage box. Each plate is decorated by hand in old world style yet finished with the highest contemporary standards to meet or exceed FDA requirements as well as California’s stricter limits for lead and cadmium. 👍🏽

Also pictured here are cards from Kelsey Lawson and beeswax rose candles from the Monastery of St John— all available on our website!

🌹Country Rose Bath Soak🫧 from Sonia | Raw Goat Milk Soaps and Skincare is in stock! Just in time for the cooler weather, this delightful bath soak is made from nourishing ingredients help your skin be nourished and rejuvenated. I like to use the bath soaks with my kids in the winter especially, when their skin is dry. You can find it in the Sweetest Self-Care gift set, or just the bath soaks (and goats milk soaps, too!) in the Home + Prayer section of our shop. 🌹

Most of the products that we carry from other Orthodox Christian owned small businesses are specifically Orthodox in nature, but we also want to support makers who offer quality food that we all want and need (like soap!)… if you’re going to buy it, why not buy the ones that are made with wholesome ingredients, and your money is going to support Orthodox families? 👍🏽 Win, win!
