Artisanal Being is more than just a shop full of beautiful things. It’s an extension of me and my journey through life thus far. So, I thought I’d introduce myself to give you a peek at the woman behind the brand and a better understanding of what this fabulous AB community is all about. I hope being here will make you feel part of something special.  

I’m Elizabeth. Like many of us, I’ve been through some sh*t, and what I’ve taken away from those incredibly challenging experiences is that life is too short to not find beauty in as many moments as possible. For me, breaking time down even to the smallest increment in order to stay in the present, and seeing beauty in even the most fleeting thing, has been crucial. This practice has made a positive and palpable difference in my health and my outlook on life.

It could be a drop of water perched on a leaf. A beautiful birdsong. A really, really good cup of coffee. My approach (a constant work in progress) is to feel the feelings and let them go, without ignoring or, conversely, dwelling in them. And that goes for all feelings, the fun ones and the challenging ones. If I’m having a tough time, I think of the next thing to do, and just do that. Then regroup and do it again. In time, I find those tiny pleasures—the birdsong, the raindrop, the shape of a cloud, the feel of a breeze, the lick from a dog (and those are in abundant supply at our house 😊 ) , can knit together to create a fabric of support during the toughest of times. 

Artisanal Being is the consolidated integration of my multi-passionate life. It has been a true gift and an unexpected pleasure to fall in love with not just the operation of the shop, but the amazing community that has sprung from it. 

Along the way I have studied, experienced, and gathered information, and I continue to explore and investigate, seeking beautiful, unusual things to share with you!

I rummage through warehouses, comb through design studios, and scour markets to find special things to share. Every single item in my shop has a story and everything is here for a reason. Every product is chosen with intention and a goal to bring joy and help you prioritize self-love and meaningful connection. 

I hope you find something that inspires you, makes you smile, or helps create pleasure in your life.

From items that encourage self-care and wellness to decor that makes your home feel like a true reflection of you, I offer products with the intention of energizing and elevating everyday moments. 

I hope your time here in the Artisanal Being community will help you celebrate and feel more connected to the people who matter most—starting with you. Treat yourself! You deserve it.
