Join us Saturday, Nov. 27 in store and online for Small Business Saturday.

OUR FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR IS ALMOST HERE!

This Saturday, Nov. 27, is SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY and we can’t wait to celebrate with you in store and online! Our shop is open from 9 am to 9 pm, and we encourage all to get out and support local all day long. The first 25 customers to make a purchase with us will receive SWAG BAGS full of treats.

When you shop small with us you’re supporting a local, woman owned (and majority woman staffed) business AND the hundreds of local and midwest makers we work with. Help us support the local creative community by shopping small this Saturday & all season long

We are so excited for Small Biz Saturday. Make sure you tag us on social media if you make it to the store to party with us! If you plan on staying in with the family Saturday, no worries – you can support from the comfort of your home online at shop.homespunindy.com. 

Support local and shop small this Saturday with us and your favorite independent shops!

Happy first week of August! Here’s all things happening in and around the shop.

SUMMER, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING?

Between sunny days shopping local, rearranging our store displays, and having fun at our events like Handicraft Exchange and Mass Ave’s Sidewalk Sales, we feel like August has SNUCK UP on us. Here are a few shop and community happenings as we enter the first week of the last month of summer.

In the shop: 

Our staff has been working hard jazzing up the store. No major changes, but we’ve been organizing and reorganizing, creating brand new shelf displays, and freshening up the store for an even better shopping experience. Very thankful for our teams’ flair for creative displays, and for their ability to make this HOUSESPUN a HOMESPUN. Come on in to see our progress as we make an even brighter, fresher space!

What We’re Loving: 

Leo Season: Happy Birthday to all the passionate, confident, independent LEOS! Find the perfect, unique gift for your favorite Leo in store & online.

SNACKS: We got so snacky in the store, we had to add shelves to our snack section just to fit all the salty, sweet, deliciousness we have for you! Next time you come shopping we hope you’re hungry!

TANKS: Rocking these Indiana and Indianapolis tanks as long as we can!

BACK TO SCHOOL BASICS: From elementary to grad school, we have the essentials for your best semester yet. With notebooks, planners, calendars, pencils and pencil pouches, totes and backpacks, and of course snacks and coffees we are ace-ing back to school shopping in store and online.
