My name is Lydia, and I make a variety of arts and crafts. Every item in this shop is handmade by me. Each order includes a free sticker of my cat, Romeo, and a thank-you card.

What are you working on right now?

If you’ve seen my booth at events this year, you’ve seen a LOT of new jewelry and a new name! My mom and I began handmaking jewelry to sell at festivals and markets over a decade ago. She passed away this year, and I’ve found joy in creating jewelry with the charms, beads, and jewelry-making knowledge she left behind. The next shop update will feature jewelry I’ve made using a mix of her materials and mine and will be posted in July. The website will also be getting an upgrade and a new name: Tulgey Wood Treasures, to reflect the storybook whimsy and love for nature that my mom and I shared.

Future updates include:

• Charm bracelets

• Phone charms

• Earrings

• Beaded bracelets and necklaces

• Woven bracelets and necklaces

• Gemstone necklaces

• More keychains

• More photocards

• More stickers

For updates on all my projects, you can follow me @forestemo on twitter and instagram.

Are any items limited edition or will they be restocked?

Resin charms and earrings are a limited item and may or may not be restocked. I make everything at home, so items that include resin or other temperature-sensitive chemicals can only be made outside during warm weather and are dependent on availability of supplies. For example, you’ll notice some charms are opaque while others are transparent. The plastic manufacturer I ordered from changed their plastic shortly after I made the opaque ones, and I didn’t notice any difference until adding resin. I may not have been able to recreate the opaque look, but this happy accident resulted in a cute sun catcher-style charm :)

Jewelry will be restocked if I have the materials, and stickers will always be restocked. Photo Card charms will be restocked but the characters included may vary. Larger items like the drawstring bell bags and other lifestyle goods are harder to store so they will not be restocked unless there is demand for them.

What happens if there’s an issue with my order?

Making stuff is unfortunately not my full-time job so please be patient regarding any concerns about orders. I will always respond to your message within a day or two, but if an item needs to be tracked down with the post office it may take more time to actually resolve your concerns. I keep extra stock to replace damaged or lost items when I can but some items may not have a replacement available or there may be a delay as I recreate them.

Do you take requests or commissions?

I’m always looking to make new things, so stock will vary as I get into new projects. If you have any requests for items in new variants such as photocard charms, please send me an email or DM via social media and I’ll see if I can make it!

If you are only requesting an item, making it will be at my discretion. If you’d like to commission an item or make a bulk order I will require partial or full payment before the item is made and full payment before it ships so that I do not waste time and supplies.
