#2,744 Hand + made.

It’s kind of unbelievable that 10 years ago hardly anything was open in downtown Laurel, and today was the grand opening of another new shop that’s inventive and thoughtful and is adding one more perfect piece to the puzzle of our town’s revitalization. 

Hand + made is just around the corner from our shop, and inside you can do two things: make and paint your own wooden home decor pieces and soy candles or shop for locally made goods. Any place that cultivates art in a kid’s life is a valuable place. I’m proud of our neighbors Stephen and Deshawn who took their business and their passion and made this labor of love from it.


It’s an awesome thing to see your community bloom.
