Hi! I’m Emily Dorin, the heart and hands behind Handmade Hostess. As a mom of two young children, family has always been at the center of everything I do. Some of my best memories from childhood are baking and crafting with my mom and grandma, and those special moments inspired my love for creating and hosting.

I’ve always believed that the little details make the biggest impact when it comes to hosting and celebrating. Whether it’s a well thought out theme, a handcrafted party favor, or a festive treat that brings people together, I love creating pieces that make every gathering feel extra special.

I started Handmade Hostess with the dream of getting to help others add a special touch to their gatherings and sharing my passion for hosting, baking, and crafting with others.
