A Toast to the Hostess and the Modern Homemaker
Imagine a get-together where no one cares about the scuff marks on the wall from when you moved in. A gathering of people from all parts of your life who will be gone by 9 pm. A shindig where everyone feels right at home with a smile at the ready and a drink in their hand.
You’re thinking about a cocktail party.
And no cocktail party is complete without a little unexpected flourish.
House of Gleason is a purveyor of the finest party and home accessories made by hand in our quaint North Carolina-based home studio.
Founder and head designer Kristen Bowen has been drawing, crafting and sewing since she could remember. Thanks to her great-grandmothers, grandmother, great aunt and mother, she’s always had a front-row seat to the art of homemaking and an appreciation for welcoming others into her home.
Kristen left behind a career in digital marketing to embark on a few "trial and error"adventures, only to fine-tune her true creative niche that eloquently compliments the matriarchs of her past and represents her love for the old but with a rebellious spirit.
She makes fun, unforgettable heirloom quality goods that are just as whimsical as they are practical. House of Gleason hand stitches fancy sh*t for everyday people.
