At Mittenly, we believe Michigan’s finest talents aren't just found in galleries or big-name shops — they’re tucked away in small towns, backyard workshops, and family garages across the state. Our mission is to bring together the incredible artisans, craftspeople, and small businesses that often go unnoticed, giving them a place to shine. From hand-thrown pottery and rustic woodwork to homemade candles, jewelry, and one-of-a-kind goods, we celebrate the hidden creators who pour their passion into every piece.

We’re building a community where the heart of Michigan’s creativity can finally get the recognition it deserves. Whether you’re a longtime maker, a new hobbyist turning dreams into reality, or a supporter who loves discovering unique local treasures, Mittenly is your home. Here, small businesses with little to no online presence have a voice — and a platform to connect with customers who value authenticity, craftsmanship, and the stories behind every creation. Join us in supporting the makers who make Michigan truly special.

When you join Mittenly, you’re not just adding your business to another directory — you’re stepping into a thriving community built to spotlight Michigan’s hidden talents.

But that's just the beginning. As part of the Mittenly network, you'll have the ability to post freebies, special deals, promotions, upcoming events, contests, and giveaways — all designed to help you grow your following and boost sales. Plus, every member receives their own professionally built, single-page website complete with a custom domain — giving you a polished online presence even if you’ve never had one before. We handle the technical side so you can focus on doing what you love: creating, crafting, and connecting with your community.
