About Us

We are the mama and daughter duo of what started as a hobby and quickly evolved into the business venture you now know as Nina’s. Mama Lonnie is co-owner and co-creator at Nina’s Attic. Now retired from her full time position she keeps busy creating all of our sparkly, clay, and beaded jewelry. If you own any piece of Nina’s Attic jewelry-she made it!  

I am Emily, co-owner and co-creator of Nina’s, and mama to four girls so life is pretty busy and working hours tend to be super random…like say 3:30am as I write this. When I left my teaching position after baby #2 and having done the full time mama thing working both in and out of the home I knew the best balance for my family would be found somewhere in the middle. I immediately took over all digital and social media elements while creating graphic tees and from there we began to grow. Now offering a wide variety of graphics both in store and wholesale. WE love to work with local schools, business, organizations and fundraisers.

You can find our retail home in the heart of downtown Marshalltown where we have expanded well beyond handmade tees and jewelry as we ventured into boutique clothing for women and teens. A wide variety of cute baby items and products, including Copper Pearl. 

As a health and natural product lover we also have recently expanded by bringing in Rowe Casa Organics. A brand that truly offers safe and effective wellness and non toxic items for your whole family.  

 We aspire to be a one stop collective shop that we promise has something for everyone! Thanks for stopping by, please visit us again and often

When we say handmade with heart we mean it!

XOXO,Emily + Lonnie
