Join us for our very first workshop at our Whitefish Bay store in Milwaukee, led by Ammu from @houseofamu. Learn how to hand block print using hand-carved wooden blocks while creating your very own table runner for your next gathering. Dive into the vibrant world of hand block printing using hand-carved wooden blocks crafted by artisans in India.

You’ll explore how to gather inspiration, create designs, and experiment with patterns to print your own unique table runner—no templates, just your imagination. Whether you’re a total newbie or an art enthusiast, this laid-back afternoon promises laughter, creativity, and a chance to play with paint. Bring a friend, and let’s make something beautiful together. All materials and tools are provided. Only 10 spots available, so buy your tickets fast!

We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that the beautiful House of Amu Holiday Pillow Collection is now available in our Whitefish Bay store, running through the end of the year!

As you know, our mission is to support women artisans globally. We’re excited to expand that to a local level by partnering with Ammu Cherian, a talented Milwaukee artisan with deep connections to Indian textiles. This is our first—and hopefully, one of many—local collaborations!

Ammu’s mission and craftsmanship are truly inspiring. Stop by the store to explore her collection firsthand, get inspired for your holiday gatherings, and take a piece of her unique textile art home with you! #handcraftedpillows #holidaycollection #homedecor #blockprintedpillow #kasavupilllow #khadipillow #indiantextiles #houseofamu #culturalcloth

Design that whispers, not shout. Crafted with intention, made to live beautifully through time.

Every weave, every thread carries the stories of the skilled hands and stories of tradition.

Our Kasavu gold and cream throw pillows, inspired by the sarees worn by royalty in Kerala, are handwoven by skilled artisans. The patterned stripe is sheer with a beautiful sheen. Perfect for the Holidays and all year round.

Feeling this good and this connected with your experience should feel as comfy as your favorite pair of jeans but as special as lighting the good candle, know what I mean?

We block off full days for sessions to make sure you have our full attention. No rushing.

You’re not a number in the books, and you never will be. Once you’re in the fam, you’re in. Friendships and working together go hand in hand, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

There are plenty of times when things happen behind the scenes that need quick action. That’s not your job to worry about, it’s my job to strategize to fix it.

The vibe? High. Always. We welcome joy with open arms, always. Why wouldn’t we when we truly love showing up to serve you?

The same energy during your session flows through the planning, editing, and gallery delivery process. We don’t half ass it. We full ass it. If that doesn’t sound like luxury language, remember, JOY. A little sass brings a whole lotta joy.

There’s a difference between, “I can’t do that” and “I don’t want to do that”. This may ruffle some feathers, and we’re okay with it. Being creative with your concepts or ideas, doesn’t mean only adhering to a certain “style”. Part of the reason why we’re so comfortable thinking outside of the box, is because we do it regularly and embrace it. We’re go getters for a reason, and welcome your big, bold ideas without hesitation.

We are VERY comfortable advocating for you. When things happen that are outside of our control, we gotchu! Kindness is key.

There are hundreds of combinations of tricky lighting and staging we’ve dealt with creatively and technically. We’ve got it planned from before you even walk through the door.

One size does not fit all. Why should it? Leaning on over a decade of experience in many types and styles of work, we borrow techniques to elevate your session that much more.

This is your story. Your business. That’s what matters here. You and me? We’re a team. And a darn good one.

By being intentional with our time together, you get to feel that warmth, comfort and ease that comes with the comfy jeans and lighting the good candles.

You deserve it 💫

What would I create if my imagination knew no bounds?
.

As the first rays of morning light, I carry myself to a hidden garden, where green foliage whispers secrets only the dawn can hear. There, upon a wooden bench, I savor the tender ritual of my mornings—a delicate cup of chai cradled in my hands, its warmth mingling with the crisp bite of biscuits. The air hums with quietude, and I lose myself in the pages of a book, each word weaving a world bursting with color and joy. Here, amidst the rustling leaves and fragrant blooms, I romance the simplicity, finding joy in the sacred routines and humble rhythm of life.

And there, like a character stepping into my world, lies The Duchess. She is no ordinary pillow but a creation of smocked workmanship, her fabric caressed by the ancient artistry of block printing. Her story lies in the unseen, the overlooked. While others seek symmetry and order, I find beauty in the untamed artistry of the reverse. In her folds, I see a celebration of the unexpected. She reminds me to see beyond order and to embrace the splendor hidden within imperfection.

This is Part 1 of a series of reimagining a throw pillow. Exploring what it could be, to tell stories and hold emotions through design and technique. This series is the culmination of a deeply personal passion project, nurtured over two years, now brought to life. It is an ode to creativity, craftsmanship, and the power of everyday objects to transcend their purpose and inspire.
