One of my passions in life is encouraging others to step out on faith, choose the paths less traveled, and work intentionally towards realizing their most closely-held dreams.  And though it took me many years to follow my own advice, I finally did – first, by starting this blog in 2015 and then in 2021, by reimagining my “dormant” Etsy shop as a place to offer products that draw upon my unique perspective on travel, architecture, nature, and food as well as my appreciation of handcrafted goods.

So, with a whole lot of time and determination invested, I am happy to announce that my renovated Etsy shop Lucretia By Design: Photography, Stationery, and Handmade Gifts to Inspire will officially (re)open for business on May 1, 2022 – in conjunction with National Small Business Week.

It will feature a fresh assortment of handcrafted items to include: blank photo note cards, photo and fabric bookmarks, as well as fabric and bead jewelry. Future plans include adding fine art prints, zines (self-published works of original text and images for small circulation), and imported accessories and home decor to the online shop. So, lots more in store!

While new inventory is being stocked, please continue to stay connected.  And, if you have suggestions or comments on the items I’ve mentioned or spotlighted on related pages and social media outlets, I’d love to hear from you! Just send me a private message through my “Contact” page, or email me directly at lucretiabydesign@gmail.com.

Also, for the latest on  with Lucretia By Design by visiting the Lucretia By Design Facebook page.

Thanks so much for your interest and support!
