By hand & with heart

I'm so glad you're here! Islay's Terrace (pronounced eye-lah) is a lovingly curated gift shop located on the beautiful Main Street of Hudson, MA.

We specialize in handmade and artisan goods, stationery, yarn, fiber arts, knitting notions and books by women and diverse authors.

About our shop

By hand & with heart. The work sold in our shop is all handmade, small batch, and created by individual artists, not big factories. More than 95% of the makers in our shop our women - each purchase you make supports an independent, woman-owned artisan and business. Many of our goods are made locally or regionally in New England.

The majority of the books we carry are written by women and traditionally under-represented writers - authors of color and members of the LGBTQIA+ communities. It's our goal amplify their voices and share their stories with you.
