Meet Eva

It all began when Eva, owner of Abnormal Creations (one of the many talented makers featured in our store), was on vacation in a touristy area of California. She wanted to bring home something truly unique—something handcrafted by a local artist—but couldn’t find a store that offered what she was looking for. That’s when she had an idea: every tourist destination should have a space dedicated to locally made goods, giving visitors the opportunity to support the artisans who call that place home.

When Eva returned, she got to work, determined to create a store where makers could sell their work, gain recognition, and make a living doing what they love. In May 2019, Locally Handmade was born in Salem, NH, starting with a 2,200-square-foot space. What once felt big has now grown into multiple locations, each one dedicated to uplifting local talent and keeping creativity alive in the community.

Today, we proudly have expanded locations - including our original store inside the Mall at Rockingham Park in Salem, NH. But this is just the beginning. Our goal is to expand across the country, ensuring that local makers everywhere have an outlet to share their work with the world.
