Our Story: Creating Joy, One Handmade Piece at a Time
We are I & K Created, we believe in the magic of handmade treasures. We’re a mother-daughter duo, brought together by the twists and turns of life, crafting sun catchers, wind chimes, and cozy crochet pieces, all made with love. Our journey began unexpectedly, during the stillness of the early days of the pandemic. Like many, we found ourselves at home, with time on our hands and a desire to create something beautiful.
It started small—just the two of us, digging through old supplies, a rainbow of beads, crystals, and materials from past projects. Soon, our home became a creative workshop, filled vibrant color. There was no grand plan, just the joy of making, letting our imaginations run wild as the sun hit our crystals, casting rainbows across the room.
Then, something magical happened: on a whim we listed some for sale. The response? Pure delight! The spark of joy that ignited in us was reflected back in the customer response. Each sun catcher, wind chime, and handmade piece became a little thread connecting us to the world, spreading light and color during a time when it was needed most. From there when it was safe we began selling at markets and seeing the smiles and joy live on the faces of our customers is an uplifting experience.
Handmade with Heart and Soul
What sets I & K apart is that every piece we create tells its own story. There’s no mass production here. Each item is touched by our hands and infused with the love we have for this craft. Whether it’s a one-of-a-kind sun catcher, a custom wind chime made to capture the perfect melody, or a crochet creation for those cozy moments, you can feel the care that goes into every detail.
Our creations aren’t just objects—they’re an expression of our hearts, designed to bring joy into the lives of those who welcome them into their homes. The delicate clinking of a wind chime in the breeze, the burst of rainbows from a crystal in the sun—these little moments of happiness are why we do what we do.
Our Creative Spirit
We’re always experimenting, always imagining. The inspiration for each piece comes from the world around us—the colors of nature, the rhythm of the seasons, and the stories of the people who fall in love with our work. Each of us has a distinct style, but the thread that ties everything together is our shared love for creating something special, something that resonates with the soul.
At craft fairs and in our online shop, we love meeting people who appreciate the whimsy, color, and joy our pieces bring. Our customers, who range from the bold maximalists to the free-spirited bohemians, have become part of our story, too. Your appreciation fuels our creativity, and for that, we’re forever grateful.
Let’s Create Something Together
We love making custom pieces that are as unique as you are. Have a favorite color or a particular space in your home you want to brighten up? Or maybe you’re looking for the perfect gift that’s truly one-of-a-kind? We’re here to bring your vision to life.
Each I & K creation is a little piece of our hearts, and we’re so happy to share them with you. Thank you for being a part of our journey.
