We design our own vintage farmhouse and whimsical labels in house, and by request, have recently added in more gifts and items with these designs to celebrate special moments in your life! We are inspired by homesteading hobbies, nature, silly puns, and our faith!
All our items are either hand crafted in small batches in our Virginia Beach, Virginia, studio or custom designed by us! We work with local USA based printers and production partners to bring our designs and artwork to life.

PS - This was previously our shop where we sold craft supplies! We had to close in 2017 suddenly when mold was found in our home and we were all were dealing with severe health issues. We have since moved, time has passed, healing has happened, and we are SO very grateful to be back in 2023 bringing you our new Homestead and Hope Co creations!

3 out of 5 starsThe yarn was just what I was looking for. Shipping was not timely. It took almost three weeks for the yarn to arrive although the vendor had on the Etsy site that items were shipped in 1-3 business days. In looking at the history of my items they were ordered on November 1 and did not ship until November 17. I would be hesitant to order from this vendor again due to the delay.

How do I best care for my soap, bath & body items?
Soap: Leave soap to dry in between use in a soap saver or draining soap dish out of direct sunlight.
Bath Bombs: Store in a dry place before use. Fill tub with warm water, drop bath bomb and watch it go! Be cautious entering/exiting tub, it may be slippery.
Bath Salts: Fill tub with warm water and add salts and botanicals. Use a muslin, organza, or bath tea bag to contain the botanicals for easier clean up after your bath. Be cautious entering and exiting your tub, it may be slippery.
Body Butter Salves, Lip Balm: THESE WILL MELT IN HIGH TEMPS. If your item is melty when it arrives, pop it in the fridge to harden up. We do not refund for melting, as we have no control over heat and shipping times.
Contact us with questions!
Do you accept returns, exchanges or alterations after delivery?
Due to the custom nature of the item we do not accept returns, exchanges or requests for alterations after delivery. We ask that you communicate any specific requests through our message conversation during the order process. We only know about a preference or request if you specify it in your message. We will always do our best to accommodate your requests!
Do you send photos before you ship items?
Due to the high volume of orders that we create and ship every day we are unable to send photos or create mock-ups before production and shipment. We do have a photo proof package listing for purchase if you are interested. We also sometimes share sneak peeks of customer items on our Instagram @homesteadandhopeco
Do you offer refunds under any circumstances?
There are no refunds since every item is custom. If an item breaks in shipment we have insured its value up to $100 and you can submit the claim to USPS online to have that insurance amount sent to you as a check in the mail. If you would like more than $100 of insurance please let us know at the time of purchase. Note that when submitting an insurance claim **You MUST have photos of the item and the box/packaging and you must retain the box/packaging to take to the post office if proof of damage is required. Shipping insurance MAY also require that the
customer take the damaged item to a waste yard for disposal and obtain proof of disposal.
**Note that any damage must be reported to our shop within 48 hours of the package arriving.
What if my package is delayed/lost in transit or stolen?
Homestead and Hope Co is not liable for packages that are delayed in transit, lost by the shipping carrier, or stolen-- all circumstances which are beyond our control. Once we hand your item over to the shipping carrier it is their responsibility to deliver the item-- please contact the shipping carrier directly regarding delays or lost packages. If you suspect mail theft you can obtain the GPS coordinates of the last scan point from the shipping carrier and file a mail theft report with
your local police department.
