homefolk market

The day has finally come and I am so excited to share this project with you!

You may be wondering how homefolk came to be so I thought I’d share the story with you here.

I think we can all agree, 2020 was a tough year. I suffered from anxiety for the first time in my life, which was made worse by scrolling social media and the news on my phone. By November, I was searching for anything to do that didn't involve looking at a screen.

One night, while walking the aisles of a big box craft store I decided to pick up some yarn and a crochet hook. Over the years my nanny Martha and aunt Christie had taught me the basics of this craft and I was confident that with what little knowledge I had retained, paired with the gift of YouTube, I would be able to figure it out. I started working on a dishcloth that night (pictured here) and I don't think I've gone a day since without picking up a crochet hook. That Christmas, just about everyone received a crocheted dishcloth from me that Christmas.

Almost immediately, I began daydreaming about having a handmade shop. It was only a couple of months in when I decided to just go for it.

I have big dreams for how homefolk will grow and I hope one day we'll also offer vintage goods, antiques, and products from other makers all from a little storefront right on Main Street. You’ll have to stay tuned to see.

Thanks for following along.

Dream Big,
Steph Capan✨
