Homesong Market is a curated home-goods and lifestyle shop in the Crestwood Shops on the Brookside edge of Kansas City, Missouri, owned by writer-shopkeeper Amanda Watters. The store grew out of Watters’ “homesong” homemaking practice — selling sustainable, well-made everyday wares (linens, baskets, kitchen and garden tools, candles, antiques) alongside Waldorf-inspired children’s toys and goods sourced from travels to Japan and France.123

Description

Homesong Market is a home-goods and lifestyle shop describing itself as “a thoughtfully curated home goods store designed to be a sanctuary of calm and inspiration,” where shoppers are welcomed by natural materials — wood, woven baskets, and soft textiles.2 The everyday inventory includes laundry baskets, linens, produce bags, candles, dog collars and leashes, incense, and kitchen and gardening tools.3 Alongside the home goods, the shop features items inspired by owner Amanda Watters’ personal travels to Japan and France, plus a curated array of antique and second-hand treasures.23 A children’s section offers open-ended, Waldorf-inspired toys and art supplies.2

The shop’s display fixtures (tables, shelves, chairs) are themselves second-hand finds, and most are available for purchase; Watters has also hosted a monthly online “flea market” sale.3 The store operates Monday–Saturday, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm, and is closed Sundays.12

Ownership and history

Homesong Market is owned by Amanda Watters, a writer, homemaker, and shopkeeper who is also the author behind the long-running “Homesong” blog and writing project.45 Watters grew up in Iowa and raises her four children with her husband, Andrew, in a restored older home in Kansas City; the children attend a local Waldorf school.45

The business began at the family dining-room table as an online shop — the official site dates the brand to 2019 — with Watters filling and shipping orders from home before opening a physical storefront.4 The brick-and-mortar shop opened in Brookside in 2020, originally on Oak Street (reported as 6213 Oak St.), during the early COVID-19 period.35 The store later operated at 337 E 55th Street within the historic Crestwood Shops — a neighborhood shopping district that opened in 1921 as one of Kansas City’s first — on the Brookside/Crestwood edge of KCMO.12
