What's an em dash? It's punctuation used to show emphasis — a break in thought — and the name of an ever-increasing line of products to wear and put in your home.

I have always dabbled in handmade goods — a refinished lamp here, a feather headband there. I remember watching my mother, aunt and grandmother making crafts to sell since I was very young, and hopefully some of those crafty skills rubbed off onto me.

But recently I decided to really get my sewing machine a-going, get my paint brush wet.

So I've chosen products that I want for myself and my home, and I hope you like them as well.

You can learn more about me on my blog, The Em Dash, at www.theemdash.com.
