About Self Preservation

Self Preservation was thought up in August of 2023 by us, Autumn and Scott (not pictured, but here is a picture of our dog, Lola). We both share a passion for creativity, cooking, art (in all of it's forms), and our home and all who live in it. After owning and running a restaurant for nearly 15 years and then closing its doors, we were finally able to dedicate the time and the energy in creating quite the eclectic inventory of hand-crafted products to help inspire others to master their own creations. 

In a sea of cheaply made disposable goods, big box stores, instant gratification deliveries and sameness, Self Preservation is a collective of things that are individually designed, hand-crafted with care and one of a kind.  From kitchenware to leather goods and eventually preserved foodstuffs, our unique pieces are designed to help you spark your own creativity.  Whether it be a specialty rolling pin to perfect your pie recipe to a leather journal to write your first novel or your next great idea, we make the tools for you to tell your own story.
