These lavender infused sachets serve a variety of healing purposes. They are handcrafted by

They also come unscented, and in so many gorgeous fabrics. They make the perfect gift or self-care product.

From Payne and Comforts website:

Here are some of the benefits of using a COLD pack-

•relieve headaches and migraines
•reduce swelling on bruises and other injuries
•sunburn relief
•provide comfort when feverish


And when used HOT they can help-

•neck and shoulder tension
•comfort cramps
•soothe back pain
•relieve sore muscles


Alternating HOT and COLD therapy can also be beneficial for certain types of injuries. Please note the above information is not intended to be medical advice. Consult your doctor to find out if hot/cold therapy is right for your condition.

They come in eye three shapes, to use them:

TO USE HOT- Heat in the microwave 40-60 seconds with a cup of water (this prevents the pack from drying out). Do not microwave for more than 60 seconds at a time. Handle with care! Product will be hot.

TO USE COLD- Place pack in a plastic baggie and freeze for one hour to sooth discomfort and headaches. Spot clean as needed.

Here’s a little astrology tidbit I recently learned, Venus is currently in Cancer which means that our love relationships might need a reciprocal review. Leaning into others perspective it is necessary to end the blame game. Compassion is everything.

Hey ya’ll. I’m Rana (pronounced Ron-uh), I am the gemstone queen behind Bespoke Gemstone Jewelry: Salame Jewelry Designs] and I am also an OG homespuner.

I started working at homespun right after I moved to the Indy area from Chicago about 10 years ago. (I lived in the Chi for 8 years working as a Assistant Manager of a RadioShack in Cabrini Green, a stint as an executive assistant for an mlm millionaire, did an year at , then became a kindergarten co-teacher.)

Ok, this isn’t a resume but maybe this little tidbit just tells you a little about who I am: my last few years in Chicago I started metal smithing. And before Chicago I wanted to be a radio DJ.

Now I live between quartz and the stars ™ in an 1890s farm house with two daughters, my husband Nate, our 18 chickens and 2 black cats.

My years at homespun, saw me doing everything from gallery manager, teacher, photographer, assistant events planner, and more.

I’m back now to be your host to all the ins and outs of homespun and its eclectic lil crew. I would love to hear what you would like to see here!

I also thought about which picture to introduce myself with and I thought definitely this bathroom mirror selfie pic, this one was taken right after at the , an event I’ve been a part of with Bespoke Gemstone Jewelry: Salame Jewelry Designs for 8 years now! And where I will also be posting!

Stay tuned for more!

✌️ Salame means peace in Arabic.

We do not accept walk-in submissions in the store as we are very busy throughout the day with customers and administrative work. If you are interested in submitting work for consideration, please go to our website and fill out the submission form there. You are able to include both your web address and images (up to 6, under 1MB each) of your work on that form, if you choose, as well as other pertinent info. Due to the volume of submissions that show up in our inbox, please allow up to four (4) weeks for a response to move forward with your vendor acceptance.
