We have been busily working on the House that Lars Built Shop lately and there are exciting things in store! I’m especially thrilled to announce Betsy Croft’s line of ceramics, which is just in time for Mother’s Day (but let’s be honest–these colorful, beautiful products are perfect all year round)!
See the full release below!

So much has been going on in our shop that I have a whole list of Spring shop launches to announce! Working with incredible artists and brands is such a fun aspect of what I do, and I’m so excited to announce these Springtime collaborations and additions to the shop.
Betsy Croft
Betsy holds a special place in my heart because she used to be an intern at The House that Lars Built! On top of that, she is an amazing ceramic artist (check out our interview of her here). I adore her new line and I’m ecstatic that I get to partner with her and sell her work through my shop!
Betsy’s mugs are so beautiful and unique that you won’t want to close the cupboard doors on them. I love the vibrant, looped handles, which really make them showstoppers.
Can you believe how whimsical these floral candlesticks are? They would be so lovely grouped together as a tabletop garden or even individually. Each candlestick comes with a candle so you can get started right away.
While all of Betsy’s products would make ideal Mother’s Day gifts, these mini vase brooches are especially fitting. They attach to a blouse securely with two pins, which means they won’t twist upside down and accidentally spill your teeny bouquet. The brooches come with a mini paper flower kit that we made especially for the vase so you can make a bloom that will last a long time. I love giving gifts with a handmade component, and this ticks all the boxes.
Mother’s Day Shop
In addition to Betsy’s phenomenal work, there’s a whole collection of Mother’s Day gifts in my shop! There are darling earrings of so many shapes and sizes that no matter your mother’s (or aunt’s or grandma’s or friend’s) sensibilities, there’s something cheerful and beautiful for the people on your list.
Plus, our corsage inspired aprons are always a win!
Nothing says Mother’s Day like a handwritten note, and we also have you covered there. Choose between a wide variety of designs and messages and express your love in style.
Kids need to be able to get in on the Mother’s Day festivities too, so we made this detailed and delightful activity pack. Print out the files and let your kids go to town to make a gift that’s memorable and oh so personal.

Kids Shop
If you’re familiar with The House that Lars Built, it’s no surprise to you that my boys are a big presence here. We make a lot of projects for kids, so this spring we launched the Baby and Children’s section of the shop. Between patterns, products, and prints, there’s so much to make and do and decorate with for Little Lars (you know I love an alliteration!).
I teamed up with lots of brilliant illustrators and artists to make artwork you can use to decorate a kid’s room (or your own! I won’t tell)! Lots of the artwork is storybook themed so your little one can decorate with art from some of their favorite books.
Winter Water Factory
Finally, we collaborated with Winter Water Factory, one of my favorite clothing brands, to design a print. If you’re someone who looks at kids clothes and thinks “I want that in my size,” this is for you! Winter Water Factory makes clothing for kids and adults alike, as well as a few key accessories for babies. This collaboration also happened in partnership with Hazel Village to make clothes for stuffed animals. Name something cuter than your whole troupe decked out in matching Dutch Floral clothing–I’ll wait. Ha! We came up with an adorable coloring page to go with it.
I was inspired by the floral patterns on Dutch pottery for this line and I think that all the products came out so beautifully.
