Spring is here – & so are embe’s spring items!

Mary and I are very excited to announce the arrival of our embe spring creations! We spent the past several months coming up with ideas and enjoyed bringing them to fruition.

Each item has a story behind it – whether inspired by one of my son’s favorite stuffed animals or by Cathy’s little obsession with robots, we’ve created unique, handmade gifts that you can share with the little ones in your life! Check out our newest additions at embeshop.com!
