Welcome to the Broom Room 🖤🧹
If you found your way here, welcome. Truly...
Pull up a chair by the fire for a minute.
This little corner of the internet was built from long workdays, dye stained hands, wood shavings on the porch, and quiet mountain nights under the moonlight. I’m Brooke ... nurse by day, broom maker by heart ... and Brooke & The Broomstick was born after moving to the Blue Ridge Mountains and finally feeling like I could breathe again.
Every broom you’ll find here is made by hand in my tiny broom room tucked into the mountains of Virginia. Most of the handles are foraged locally ... twisted red maple, crepe myrtle, poplar root, dogwood ... each one with its own story already living inside the wood before I ever begin weaving.
Some nights the broomcorn is drying beside the fire...
Some nights I’m outside staring at the moon trying to decide what colors feel like Beltane, or storms, or old forest magick...
And some nights it’s just me, the sound of crickets, and a cup of coffee gone cold while I weave.
That’s the thing about handmade work ... pieces of your life end up tucked into it.
I don’t mass produce these brooms. I don’t want to...
I like the crooked handles. The wild fibers. The ones that refuse to look perfect because they were never meant to.
These brooms are part folklore, part functional art, part Appalachian mountain soul.
Some are made for hearth and home...
Some for protection...
Some just because they’re beautiful and make a room feel alive.
And honestly? I still grin every single time one flies off to its new home.
This blog will be a little bit of everything...
✨ behind the scenes moments from the broom room
✨new broom drops and collections
✨folklore and old broom lore
✨dye experiments and happy accidents
✨mountain life
✨maybe a few rambling thoughts under the full moon
Mostly, I just wanted a place that felt warm, human and real 💜
So thank you for being here...
Thank you for welcoming these brooms into your homes and lives...
I hope they bring comfort, peace, protection, and a little magick wherever they land
Blessed Be,
Brooke 💜
