As a stylist and shop owner I can bring any vision you have to life. Just share your vision (eg. a head table at a vintage boho wedding for 10! a 7th birthday party for a boy who loves airplanes! a bridal shower in need of 20 champagne flutes!) and I'll happily ship everything you need within your timeline and under your budget.

Have friends who would adore presents from the past? We offer gift cards and premium gift wrapping, as well.

About LostandFoundHandwrks

Sales 444
On Etsy since 2019
  • A lovely local market where so many customers were eager to hear the stories about how/when/where the pieces were made!
  • We thought this little vintage bird cage needed a little air plant to call its own. The results were adorable!
  • My VP of Sales taking an ice cream break at a spring outdoor market. (Sorry! The yellow vintage Mikasa mugs were sold.)
  • Prepping a wholesale order of upcycled kitchenware-turned-planters. For a while there we had our own personal jungle!
  • Taking a minute to ponder while on another treasure-hunting adventure to bring you more lovely pieces of maker-history.

Bringing you vintage treasures and presents from the past <3

Kate launched Lost + Found Handworks in the winter of 2018, determined to help her design clients, friends, and family capture the elusive je ne sais quoi that they seemed to be longing for - not just for their home decor, but also in their daily lives.

One day, after six hours of sourcing furniture at a big box store for a client's living room, she came home, exhausted from "the hunt" to find something special - at stores that weren't all that special. As she watered her plants, each residing in funky found objects, discarded tins, or well-worn pots collected over decades - it hit her. The answer was so obvious.

Have you already figured it out? The thing that even high-end decor stores can't produce?

Well, it's that feeling you get when you hold something that has a past.
An object that has a story.
Something that was *lost* to someone, to an era...
...only to be found and given new life by someone else; some other generation.

Lost + Found Handworks is a small, woman-owned business rooted in the Hyattsville Arts District, devoted to bringing pieces with stories, and the makers and processes that gave them life, to homes all around the world.

We hope you'll join us in our effort to reduce our reliance on new goods & raw materials and salvage the beauty in our past by reclaiming the artifacts and arts of our history.

If you have old or found objects, from buttons to teacups to doorbells, and would like to see them live on - please let me know. I'm happy to take custom orders or donations of materials.
