Slow Summer Days

July 20, 2018 By Shelly

slow summer days

How are you enjoying your slow summer days? Summer often begins with familiar phrases like:  A. where is the summer going?! B. any vacations this summer? or my favorite C. before we know it school will start! I think we can all relate to these phrases in some way.  My response to all these is A. summer is STILL here and I’m just gettin’ started B. no vacations – staycations C. good, because I need a break.  Slowdown this summer take it all in. Slow summer days include keeping the shop stocked with loud music while my handmade soul is getting a boost of inspiration.

How Will You Resolve This Year?

January 11, 2018 By Shelly

As the New Year begins, the Christmas tree and its accomplices were swiftly put away as quickly as they were put up. There are minor remnants of red tinsel lurking on the steps, resting under foyer rugs and even finding refuge on the dog.  These glistening reminders shimmer boldly in protest as if refusing to believe the holidays are long gone. As I walk by them I hear their faint sounds of peace, love and joy. Unapologetically I reach down, pick them up and toss them out – grinning all the while about the new and exiting year ahead.

Shop Local!

November 7, 2017 By Shelly

As I prepare to jot down a holiday shopping list for my people this season I am cheering on my fellow handmade artisans. I’m eyeing up my local boutiques and their cute store fronts they will spend a lot of time preparing for the holidays. We have all witnessed small businesses come and go as they may get swallowed up by big box and same day shipping. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting many handmade artisans and have experienced getting to know them and their wares. Although I’d LOVE to showcase everyone in this blog, I’m focusing on some handmade goods that I’ve purchased in the last couple of years. Find out who I’ve connected with and who I smile about every time I use their handmade item. I may just sneak in an item of mine for that hard to buy for gal….
