ABOUT US

Welcome!

And thank you for visiting our website!

CBU (Custom By Us) Creations is a small home-based business located in the capital City of Hartford, CT, where I happily spend most of my time enjoying the Creative & Technical processes of running a small web-based business. I am truly grateful for the patronage of those of you who have stopped by and supported me and hope that you will continue to share what you think about your purchase(s) and our customer service with your family & friends.

CBU was created out of my passion for making handcrafted fashion jewelry & accessories using various mediums; including wood, metals, stones, paints/stains & fabrics (Just to name a few). Ultimately, I enjoy these things - while also interacting with people from ALL walks of life who have a similar passion for the creative expression in various art forms.

As fashion jewelry is what we concentrate on (mostly) we are now creating more small craft items for personal and home use to add to our inventory. An example of some of these include; Wooden Kitchen Towel Ladders, Wine Holders and Wooen Art Sculptures & Wooden Trays & Cheese Boards. We will often use mixed-media elements with these items as well, because we truly enjoy the creative process of doing this. Nothing looks more interesting as a wooden container that is set ablaze (pyrography) to take it up a notch. Or, wooden earrings that have been hand-painted in such a way to do the same; depending on the style. 

CBU Creations is where creatively crafted and (mostly) handmade products are made that do not pretend to be something they are not. It is affordable for most. I promise (only) that it will continue to include pieces that are Fun, Funky, Environmentally friendly & often - "Hot-Like-Fire!" Of course, we include some Classic jewelry pieces because no line would be complete without them. Please check out our   page regularly to see the latest additions to our inventory that is continually evolving. 

Because we care what you think &  our truly amazing Web site Host - Shopify, ensures that we have success.
