Tiggy & Grace

Tuesday, November 13, 2012

I have written about my lovely friend, Kimberly before. We have worked along side each other during several of my recent projects, including the Creatively Made Home course and Souvenir Magazine. Kimberly has a style that appears so effortlessly casual, warm, earthy, and inviting. It’s everything I love this time of year and have been striving to achieve more of in my own home.

A foody and photographer at heart, Kimberly combines her talents with the elements we’ve all been in love with: natural linen, hand-thrown pottery and raw wood. That’s why when she told me she would be opening up her own pop-up shop this week, I squealed with delight.

The shop, named Tiggy & Grace, named after her grandmother, will be open this Friday, November 16th. It’s a “pop-up” shop which means everything she’s selling is limited in quantities and once it’s gone, it’s gone.

 

There will be one-of-a-kind pottery her husband made at home. Think rustic, imperfect and beautifully unique.

There will be lovely hand-made linen aprons and napkins, designed by Kimberly and perfect for gift-giving.

And locally made smoked salts packaged in weck jars…

These are just a few of the lovely things you will find at Tiggy & Grace. Be sure to visit the shop this Friday and check some of those gifts off your holiday list. And pick yourself out something pretty too. (I know I will!)

I was ecstatic when Kimberly hinted about this on CMH and was going to ask her about it last night but forgot/ran out of time. You can bet I’ll be peaking in on her page all day long waiting for the “shop” to open. This year one of my endeavors is to purchase as close to 100% handmade as possible, where it be something I created or something an independent artisan created.

So thank you so very much for sharing about Tiggy & Grace… and your dear sweet friend Kimberly. (she is truly a lovely person, one i know you are proud to call friend!)

Have a wonderful day!

Souvenir Holiday

Monday, November 12, 2012

This last year I was fortunate enough to be one of the contributors to Souvenir. It’s a lifestyle magazine (ad free!) dedicated to living beautifully. With an incredible line-up of stylists, photographers, and entrepreneurs the content in each issue never ceases to amaze and delight me. Heather Bullard, the editor and creator worked especially hard on this Holiday issue, which was just released today!

This magazine is NOT found in stores. You can go to the Souvenir Lifestyle website and either purchase an online copy, or buy a print version and have it shipped directly to you. I promise it is sure to please.

My contribution this time around was three holiday crafts made from vintage findings. (Including directions to the jewel tree I posted about years ago, that I still get random emails on, all these years later).

Here is a glimpse at some of the lovely images (and articles) featured in this issue:

And here is a FREE preview you can view to entice you even more:

 

Now if that doesn’t get you in the holiday spirit, I don’t know what will! ;)

Yo Gabba Gabba

Thursday, November 1, 2012

Since this was Finn’s first year getting to trick-or-treat, Josh and I decided to dress up with Finn and take him around the neighborhood. (I bought our costumes about a month and a half in advance on this awesome site).

Finn loves everything Nick Jr. and Yo Gabba Gabba is no exception. As soon as I saw the costumes, I snatched them up. Yo Gabba Gabba (in case you don’t know) is a childrens show on Nickelodeon. They have these puppets that come to life and sing and dance and teach kids valuable lessons. It’s a really cute show that focuses a ton on music, which Finn adores.

Finn is the robot, whose name is Plex. I am the girl puppet named Foofa, and Josh is Brobee.

Finn wasn’t too sure about Daddy in the Brobee costume… :o) But he did ok with me in costume because we practiced a few times before Halloween.

We went to the neighbors house for a practice run and photo op before dark…

He shook his head “no” when she offered him candy…lol.

He still wasn’t sure about it in his bag either…

He did surprisingly well though last night. He even gave a doggie his one new word… “Hi!”. But didn’t want to talk to any of the neighbors.

His favorite part was pushing every one’s door closed after he got his candy.

Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween!
