WHAT A YEAR!
Hey folks, Shirstie here, Owner of Hometana.
We’re in the home stretch of 2020 and I’m here to say THANK YOU! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you’ve done for Hometana and the artists we serve.
Montana Strong Update:
On March 27th we started selling “Strong Shirts” to raise money for covid relief efforts. With all your support we were able to donate nearly $10,000 to three different non-profit organizations.
Special thanks to Reporter Andrea Lutz with KTVQ in Billings and Reporter LeAnne Kavanagh with The Valierian in Valier. Additional ‘thanks’ to the National Honor Society at Big Sky High School in Missoula. The kids donated their earmarked event allowance to the “Strong” campaign, buying t-shirts for healthcare workers across Montana. All leftover ‘strong’ shirts were donated to Community Hospital in Missoula.

When you buy from a small business you are contributing to a dream, not only my dream but the artists we support. Please enjoy these small stories of a few of our makers.
Nathaniel Bronec of NB Custom Furniture makes all our bottle openers, keychains, belt buckles and magnets in Missoula. Nathan is ALWAYS working on something new.
All our apparel is printed in Missoula, MT by a talented team of artists. We could not be successful without them. They help us plan logistics, inventory and advise us on new trends.
Greeting cards and stickers are designed by yours truly. ~Shirstie
‘Wander’ necklaces are made in Kalispell by Montana native, Debbie Savik. Her brand, 'Dent it Jewelry' is inspired by all things encouraging.
