Welcome to our shop! We are Maria & Cecelia, sisters who make stuff and love doing it. 

Though we used to have several Etsy shops, we are currently not selling online.  Instead we have our things in a couple local shops (it's so much easier to have someone else do the selling for us...), and we also make appearances at select local trade shows.  Hope to see you there!

New Leaf Handmade Goods will be taking part in the 
Highway 1 Studio Tour on September 22nd and 23rd

We've always had a soft spot for paper and fabric and buttons, not to mention garage sailing and thrift-shop-exploration, and we are pretty thrilled to find a way to mix all these things together and share them with you! 

We like to think that the materials we use to create our products are turning over a new leaf.  Most of the paper, fabrics, furniture, etc. are post-consumer materials: fabric we've discovered in thrift shops, parts of greeting cards we've received, stationary my grandpa found at a garage sale.  It's important to us that what we create doesn't require a whole lot of newly manufactured parts.  There's personality, and surely a few stories, attached to our materials.  We make our goods in anticipation of bringing beauty into your life and allowing those stories to continue!  
Enjoy.
