The Beginning

I encourage you to visit our online Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/abcblockology 
We carry a variety of projects. We also allow our customers to be creative and original themselves! Custom blocks can be ordered to say whatever you want in whatever colors you want!

We began our Etsy store mid-January of 2013. Our shop was founded on what my mom thought was a simple decor project. When my nephew was visiting us for Christmas last year, Momma decided to buy a bag of alphabet blocks to spell his name out on our mantle. However, she soon discovered that this was no easy task; she had to buy two bags of blocks to spell his six-letter name: Hobbes. Even then, the color phase was something akin to red-yellow-green-green-yellow-green. 

My father, ever the craft man, started explore what it would take to alternate the colors more uniformly. He discovered how much he enjoyed working with the blocks, discovering which paints looked best, combined colors, and more. He started calling it the “study of blocks”, and eventually ABC Blockology was born! It evolved from children names to kitchen and holiday decor to sayings. 

Our blocks are what you make them to be; it's our goal to serve our customers and put a little something special into your home. The Boyd family obviously loves originality, so we fully welcome our customers to be original!
