RusticWares is pleased to announce we now have several items in store at Ally Bally Bee in the Branchville section of Ridgefield. This quaint shop features local and nationwide artisans and features only handmade goods. From jewelry to clothes to candles and yes, even Cozy Incense Cabins.
I remember a few weeks before COVID lockdown I took a couple of classes for chunky blanket knitting. So after lockdown hit I was all set to knit up a bunch, it was perfect timing to keep myself busy during those scary unknown early days.
I also stop by whenever I have a something coming up I need a gift for. I would much rather support local artisans making handcrafted goods than from a big box store or Amazon.
I am thankful to have a store like Ally Bally Bee close to me - check them out if you are in the area.

Ally Bally Bee was created by Morag Grassie, who relocated to Connecticut from Scotland in 2006. Prior to Ally Bally Bee, Morag worked as a research scientist developing treatments for challenging diseases. This field required a creative yet scientific thought-process. When she and her family left Scotland, Morag put her science career on hold and focused on developing her creative and entrepreneurial mindset - and so came Ally Bally Bee!
