Making Queer History has a vague title because it has a rather vague purpose. We are not alone in our aim to tell the queer community’s history. What defines us is our focus not only on the past, but toward the future.

Of course, we have to kick things off with the Making Queer History shop where you can find prints, clothes, clocks, rugs—you name it! You can also find our 2022 calendar here starting in December.

Bowtie Behavior was founded with the intent to create pieces that are bold and flavorful; pieces that outfits are built around. All pieces are handmade with high quality fabrics.

Their bold selection really nails their goal of offering bowties that you can base your outfit around, rather than vice versa. My favorite design is their new Garden Party set featuring a matching bowtie and pocket square.
“#welovecolor is more than just a motto, it is the way I live...My hope is that my yarn can light a little fire in your soul when you run across that special skein.

Fully Spun has a a stunning and vast collection of yarns, but we’d be remiss not to mention their Pride Collection—a collection of colorways inspired by pride flags.
