Inspiration started right at home for Maureen and now she inspires gifted crafters to create special, one-of-a-kind pieces making any home a special place to be. For more than 25 years Gifted Hands has been devoted to the of home.

We offer Primitive, Country & Farmhouse styles.  We are proud to offer friendly service & quality products at affordable prices. 


We encourage our customers to decorate with things that make them smile. Home should be their “Happy Place”. We specialize in handcrafted items made by local craftspeople. Their talent & passion shines in every piece they create.   

My mother was a great inspiration… she loved to sew & she taught me to try learning new skills in order to make gifts & decorate. I enjoyed doing needlepoint & learned to appreciate anything handmade. Once my children were older, owning my own shop that highlighted the work of other crafters was very special to me and 26 years later I am grateful to have shared this journey with other talented crafters.

?The Holiday Season is here & Gifted Hands is filled to the brim with amazing items for Christmas gifts & decorations! Our crafters have created wreaths & centerpieces, snowmen & Santa Claus, Gingerbread & Cardinals & Owls & Moose… hundreds of ornaments… Scented Soy Candles, Gemstone Jewelry, wooden shelves, and more!
