Handmade in Massachusetts

Welcome to Towne & Main

Towne & Main is a handmade gift and décor brand based in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts, created by Jenn. What started as a hobby and creative outlet over 10 years ago has grown into a small business filled with custom signs, ornaments, totes, pouches, patches, keychains, and meaningful gifts made with love.

Inspired by New England living, coastal towns, holidays, family, and everyday moments worth celebrating, Towne & Main creates pieces that feel personal, playful, and one of a kind.

The Maker

Meet Jenn

Towne & Main started as a hobby and something fun for me to do on the side, and over the years it has grown into something I’m so proud of. I started by making DIY projects, pallet art, and handmade signs as a creative outlet while balancing life as a working mom.

One of the biggest challenges has been balancing it all — motherhood, a full-time career, and growing Towne & Main during nights, weekends, and any small pockets of time I can find. But that hustle is also what makes it so meaningful. Some of my proudest accomplishments have been seeing how far this little business has come, including being featured in Better Homes & Gardens and Cape Ann Magazine.

Towne & Main is truly personal — it’s me designing, creating, packing, showing up at events, and putting love into every detail.
