East Street Hive

East Street Hive . Welcome to East Street Hive, where ancient materials meet modern design. Our carefully curated silks are hand dyed in small batches in the USA.

I'm Deanna, the woman behind East Street Hive. I have spent over a decade studying fibers and the art of dyeing, and hold a Bachelor's Degree in Fiber Arts. I lovingly design and craft each piece by hand, and all of our scintillating colorscapes have years of intense study behind them. Each of our designs gets its namesake from an ancient site along the Silk Road. As you trace your fingertips over

the sleek and shining weave of your new silk, it is our hope that you do indeed feel the pulse of your own palpable connection to the past. Make yourself a pot of tea, nestle into a comfortable corner, and enjoy your time here at East Street Hive.

Hello, lovely supporters of my small silk scarf business! This is just a quick note to let you know that we're shifting gears over here, however slight.

Just re-stocked our scarf stash at the Artisan Boutique in the Canton Museum of Art, so now there are a nice variety of colors to pick from in the gift shop. 😊 Our Etsy inventory is current as well!

I had forgotten that admission to the museum is free on Thursdays, so I got to wander around an Impressionist exhibit that was just lovely. Happy accident! Saw some originals from the watercolorist Joseph Raffael, whose use of color I find stunning. Made me want to rush home and dye some new pieces. :) You'll be the first to know when I do! Until then, pop by to see what's in stock on Etsy:

Which stores in Northeast Ohio would you suggest I attempt pitching hand dyed silk scarves to?
..asking for a friend. 😁 Hee hee.

But seriously: it's a question I've been mulling over for, well, years now, and I've pitched my goods to many of them already. Big stores (Target, Kohl's, etc) are out, btw- very different process & product than what I can provide. But smaller local boutiques & gift shops are definitely in. Any ideas? Danke, friends!

Wrapping up my first late work night in a very long time-- almost a year, actually. Usually this time of year is a mad scramble to get everything done for all of our upcoming festivals and shows, but obviously 2020 is an outlier. πŸ˜‘

So tonight I worked late for no other reason than: I've missed it! I love long evenings spent in my studio with just the company of my cat and whatever audiobook I'm listening to at the time. (I never know whether I'm an introverted extrovert or an extroverted introvert. Either way, I need lots of people time as well as lots of dramatic Greta Garbo-esque "I want to be alone!" time. Hee hee.)

So my evening was spent packaging up scarves for the shop, as well as some new products I'll be carrying. There's something so soothing about the methodical rhythm those tasks bring- iron, steam, fold, then tuck each scarf into its new home: a small box, which I have stamped, stickered, and signed. Step by step, rewarding little ticks off a to do list.

I hope you, wherever you are, are enjoying a peaceful evening too (most likely in dreamland, which is where I'm headed as well...right after I finish listening to this chapter...😁).

New item up in the shop. And on sale. :) Happy Wednesday!

I woke up yesterday morning to a super sweet review from a recent customer, and the first thought that came to mind was, "Oh, I'm so happieh!" a la Maid Marian from Men in Tights. Because I'm a big nerd. And I know I post reviews here fairly often, but they really do make my day and that's why I always want to share them. So sweet!
