At Boxwood & Mum you will find wrought iron, leather and wood home decor, all handmade with love in Lancaster County, PA, USA. Inspired by my Dad who loved all things handmade, Boxwood & Mum is a shop full of Lancaster County Handmade Goodness. At Boxwood & Mum, you will find both products I have personally designed and made in addition to handmade items I have found local to my home in Lancaster County, PA. I enjoy "treasure hunting" off back roads in the heart of Lancaster County farmland to bring to my shop quality products made from the most hard-working and friendly Amish makers. It brings the scent of pine wood and the sound of horses and chickens in the barn connected to their workshop. They work by gas lamp and with natural materials like leather and wood. My phone rings at 6 am and I know it is one of my suppliers calling me to let me know they have my order ready. They welcome me into their shops to see their processes and we swap business ideas and also talk family. They've become my friends along this adventurous shop-ownership journey. If you could meet them, I'm confident you would love that your purchases from Boxwood & Mum support such fine, hard-working, quality makers. As with all pieces made from natural materials like wood and leather, Boxwood & Mum product colors and markings vary slightly as each piece is individually handmade – no two pieces are exactly the same. We hope you enjoy the natural beauty represented in each item. Your shopping makes a difference! In addition to supporting small and local makers, your purchase helps a special cause. A portion of each purchase from Boxwood & Mum is given to North Star Initiative, a non-profit organization both rescuing women from human trafficking and providing a restorative home in support of their journey to freedom.
