2022 Art in the Park/Summer Reading Mural
The new mural is in place! Painted by the 2022 Summer Reading/Art in the Park participants, this year’s mural is a bright and beautiful celebration of our Summer Reading theme – “Hometown Heroes!”
Free Kids Craft!
Every child is an artist, and we want to help them create! Pick up this free flower craft for kids when you visit Simply Hand Made this summer. Each kit includes a link for video instructions, plus information about upcoming children’s activities provided by the Fredericksburg Community Library and Simply Hand Made!
Spring Raffle Basket
It’s the start of a new year at Simply Hand Made!
Snow and ice may have delayed our reopening, but now we are back! Open 9:00-4:00 Thursday-Saturday!
As we are staffed by volunteers, we will be closed any time the Southeast Local school district is closed due to weather. We never want our volunteers to feel unsafe driving on the roads to help us in the shop. When planning a visit, please feel free to call ahead to make sure a volunteer will be there that day, or to schedule an appointment outside of our normal open hours.
We look forward to sharing more amazing artisan work with you in the coming year!

It’s Fall!
Saturday, September 26th we will be celebrating the start of Autumn with a big THANK YOU to our customers. WHILE SUPPLIES LAST every purchase of $30 or more will include a gift bag filled with Simply Hand Made merchandise! Also included in your gift bag is a mystery coupon worth $1, $5, or $10 off a future purchase!
Thank you to all the Simply Hand Made patrons, volunteers, and artists who together make this special store possible!
We are open! (By appointment)
Simply Hand Made is open again for customers! No, we do not have our regular hours staffed yet, but we are happy to open by appointment. Please call or email the shop to arrange a time to visit. Occasionally the shop will be open to the public, depending on the availability of volunteers who are comfortable with working during the COVID-19 crisis. However we ask that only one customer or customer group visit at a time to maintain social distancing. If the store is open to the public we will be posting that day’s hours on social media. Thank you for your patience and flexibility! We take the health and safety of our customers and volunteers very seriously and have been working hard to find solutions to be able to open during this difficult time.
We can’t wait to see you!
