Every season, I get so excited to highlight the makers, creators, and artisans who inspire me the most. From homemade treats to hand-designed textiles and vintage treasures, these are the people and products that have captured my heart and the Ghost Host spirit this season.
Ana Ohlandt | Ana Makes and Bakes + Ana Ohlandt Photography
Local Photographer and Home Baker — Frederick, MD
Ana is a wedding and family photographer, but she also has a secret hobby: baking. Her homemade focaccia, which we featured in The Host Edit | Tomatoscape, is absolutely incredible. I’ve always admired her creativity behind the camera, and seeing it extend into the kitchen feels so natural. Ana’s work reminds me that inspiration can come in many forms—sometimes it’s edible!
Trina | Jubilee Flea
Vintage Wallpaper, Books + Ephemera — Marshall, VA
Trina and I share a wild love for vintage wallpaper, paper, and all things ephemera. We poured over vintage wallpaper books and I knew I had to pair them immediately with my collected china and porcelain.
Jill Seale | Jill Seale Design Studio
Textiles & Wallcoverings — Charlotte, NC
I instantly clicked with Jill over our shared love of bold, beautiful patterns. Her hand-marbled textiles are a standout, whether you’re dressing a tabletop or a room. There’s something so special about textiles that feel both handcrafted and modern, and Jill’s work brings that magic every time.
Robin Snider | Rustic Route Coffee
Small Batch Coffee Roasters — Barnesville, MD
Robin and Andrea hooked me from the very first sip—not just with their coffee, but with their infectious joy and passion for what they do. I can’t think of a better way to catch up with an old friend than over a cup of their hand-roasted beans. Every cup feels like care and craft in liquid form, and I love sharing it with people who appreciate the same.
This season, these picks remind me why I love highlighting makers. It’s about more than products—it’s about connection, craft, and creativity. From a warm homemade focaccia to the tactile beauty of marbled textiles, these makers bring a little more magic to everyday life, and I’m so excited to share them with you.
