Fall is officially here, and I couldn't be more excited! This year, I'm channeling all my excitement into something special with these brand new handmade autumn table runners that will debut at Capital City Fest on September 13th.
Vintage-Inspired Fall Decor with a Personal Touch
For the very first time, I’ll be showcasing not only new retro-inspired designs on bandanas, tea towels & 8ft handmade autumn table runners! Each piece draws inspiration from the warm, inviting charm of mid-century designs. Think bold organic shapes, rich autumn colors, and that cozy retro aesthetic that makes you want to curl up with apple cider and throw on The Twilight Zone. But here's why they are truly special: sustainability and individuality.
The beauty of sourcing handmade table runners from secondhand shops means no two pieces will ever be the same, and I’m recycling materials back into loving homes. Each tells its own story of rebirth through the fabric I’m able to source. When you choose handmade over mass-produced, you're getting something with genuine character, craftsmanship, and sustainability.

But the handmade touches don't stop at sewing. Every design element is hand-inked and stamped by me personally. From simple autumn leaves to ‘60s-inspired pumpkins, these details transform simple fabric into unique fall decor that becomes a conversation starter at your dinner table.
Working from our multi-purpose second bedroom we call The Study (my art studio, my husband's remote workspace, and our movie-watching haven), I hand-sewed each fall table runner using my favorite new toy - a sewing machine I was gifted for Christmas.
While my ever-evolving autumn playlist provides the perfect soundtrack, I dive into the season doing what I enjoy most - creating things with lots of love and care for you!
Exclusive New Designs You Haven't Seen Before
These fall home decor pieces are brand new designs that have never appeared at any of my previous markets. Capital City Fest shoppers will be the very first to see these exclusive autumn home decor creations.
Each piece captures that autumn excitement I get every year. You know that moment when the sweaters pop out and a mysterious potential hangs in the crisp air? That's the energy woven into every stitch of this retro-inspired autumn decor collection.
Supporting Local and Sustainable Crafting
When you choose my autumn table runners, you're supporting a local artisan who believes in sustainable practices. By repurposing beautiful fabrics from secondhand stores, each piece reduces waste while creating something entirely new for your home.

After tons of cutting, sewing, inking, and stamping in my cluttered & cozy workspace, I'm ready to share these one-of-a-kind pieces with fellow fall enthusiasts.
