Handmade in the Sandhills: Rooted in Craft, Community, and the Heart of Nebraska

Welcome to Handmade in the Sandhills, where creativity meets community and every product tells a story.

Born in the heart of rural northcentral Nebraska, Handmade in the Sandhills is more than just a shop. It’s a celebration of makers, dreamers, and small-town spirit. Our goal is simple: to support and showcase the incredible talent tucked away in the rolling hills and quiet towns of Nebraska—and to share those handcrafted treasures with the world.

From hand-poured candles and custom keychains to rustic home goods and wearable art, every item we feature is carefully curated with love, intention, and a deep appreciation for craftsmanship. We work directly with local makers to ensure their creativity is seen, their work is valued, and their stories are heard.

🛍️ What You’ll Find in Our Shop:

• One-of-a-kind handmade goods
• Locally sourced and inspired products
• Seasonal collections (yes, we’re already prepping for the holidays!)
• A rotating lineup of featured Nebraska artisans

💛 Why Handmade?
In a world of fast shipping and mass production, handmade goods offer something special: connection. When you buy handmade, you're not just purchasing a product—you're supporting someone’s passion, a family, and a community.

🌾 Looking Ahead
We’re officially launching on August 1st, and we can’t wait to welcome you to our shop on Etsy. Behind the scenes, we’re sourcing beautiful new items, preparing collections, and spotlighting the amazing makers who make all this possible.

Whether you're shopping for yourself, planning ahead for the holidays, or just love supporting small businesses, we hope you’ll join us on this journey. Follow along on Instagram and Facebook for updates, maker features, and behind-the-scenes peeks at what’s coming next.

Thanks for supporting handmade. Thanks for supporting Nebraska. And thanks for being here. 🤍
