Welcome to the Violet Matters blog, where we share our journey as a small, home-based maker business navigating the ever-changing eCommerce landscape. Our blog blends practical business advice, crafting stories, humor, and occasional musings to bring charm and insight to your day. From small artisan business insights to celebrating all things handmade, we explore diverse sales channels—retail, wholesale, custom, online, market stalls, and local selling—while diving into the history, science, and traditions behind our products and the crafts we cherish.

Our posts aim to inspire, inform, connect, and support fellow crafters, makers, and creative entrepreneurs, offering meaningful insights, ideas, and motivation. Expect a whimsical mix of topics designed to uplift and energize your creative journey. New posts arrive a couple of times a month, depending on the delightful chaos of our crafting world. Thank you for joining us—we’re delighted to have you here!
