🌿 Handmade Cottage Home Goods

Handmade goods + recipes, patterns, DIY kits, and inspiration for those who live in or dream of a cozy, rural life.

Hello—I’m Heather, founder and maker at Blackberry & Sage.

I grew up on a sheep ranch in rural Montana, where summer meant wild meadows, fresh linens on the line, and long days spent working with my hands. Life there was simple, practical, and deeply connected to the land. It taught me to make do, stay creative, and find beauty in the everyday.

🪡 The Heart of Blackberry & Sage

Blackberry & Sage brings together everything I’ve loved for decades: homemaking, traditional crafts, natural beauty, and the rhythm of the seasons. It’s a home for cozy, handmade living—and for anyone drawn to a slower, more intentional way of life.

Here you’ll find:

  • Handmade cottage home goods crafted from vintage and nature-inspired fabrics

  • DIY kits and crochet patterns for creative, cottage-style making

  • Seasonal recipes and inspiration to nourish your home and daily life

Whether you're a maker, a collector, or someone who loves decorating with meaning, you're in the right place.

🌼 Rooted in Tradition, Growing with Intention

Now based in rural Pennsylvania, I spend my days working with vintage quilts, floral fabrics, and timeworn linens—materials that hold stories and texture from lives well-lived. I stitch them into something new, something useful, something beautiful for modern homes that crave warmth and character.

My background as a lifelong homemaker—cooking, sewing, crocheting, gardening, raising a family—shapes everything I create. This work is a natural continuation of that life: thoughtful, seasonal, and hands-on.

🌾 A Life in Rhythm with the Seasons

Blackberry & Sage isn’t just a shop. It’s an invitation to slow down and reconnect—with your home, your creativity, and the kind of life that feels grounded and real. I draw inspiration from the natural world, traditional crafts, and the feeling of creating something useful and beautiful with your hands.

💛 Who I Create For

You’re right at home here if you:

  • Love decorating with cozy, meaningful pieces

  • Enjoy making things by hand or trying something new

  • Are drawn to vintage fabric, floral prints, and seasonal charm

  • Want your home to reflect a slower, more creative way of life

Whether you’re shopping for your space, picking up a new project, or just soaking in the inspiration—I’m so glad you’re here.

With so much gratitude,
—Heather
