Pretty & comfortable earrings

These earrings are light and comfortable to wear for longer earrings. I love the longer length and the movement of the shapes.

Subtle shimmer

The earrings are even more beautiful than in the photos. The packaging was sophisticated and lovely.

Rill Brass Wall Hanging

Nicely made and a unique sculptural piece for a small area. My piece was 9” at the widest point instead of the 12” in the description and 33” tall as described. Being a handcrafted piece I suppose dimensions are close but possibly larger or smaller by a few inches on every piece. It hangs very balanced on the wall. I think the pricing on this piece is too high for what you actually get but it is a different piece and I am happy with my purchase. Shipping and correspondence was a 10 with Maker-Muse!

Love these Bierfilzl coasters

I absolutely love these felt coasters. I had originally looked at the round shape and after speaking with Brian, the shop owner, she shared some benefits of both coasters and I will ended up choosing the square. It was for a holiday gift and I loved them so much I just had to get myself a set…… well I have since been back and purchased 3 more sets of them for gifts because I love them that much!! Maker + Muse is a little treasure of a store in Maplewood. Plan a trip to visit, you will be glad you did!!

Love my coasters

I absolutely LOVE my Bierfilzl coasters. I ordered these as a gift for Christmas and loved them so much that I bought myself a set too!!! I cannot say enough about Brian, the owner of Maker + Muse, he was so kind and reached out to offer a substitute when an item I ordered was out of stock. I cannot wait to make a visit to the store location very soon to meet him in person.
