Where do I begin? It’s been a while, but in that while, I’ve had a lot of life changes and a lot in the works, including quitting my full time job (!!!), reevaluating my goals for this year and most importantly, working on new branding for The Lovely Dept.

In the last month or so, I’ve had a lot of wonderful conversations with friends and other artists, about priorities, interests and cultivating a creative community. It’s engagement like this that really gets me inspired and I am getting excited about the relaunch of The Lovely Dept. If you’ve been a reader from the beginning, you know that this was originally a place were I shared random musings and inspiration, DIY projects, downloads and more. Things are about to change, but hopefully in a very, very good way.

Take a peek at my new about page to get a sense of what’s to come and let me know what you think. If you’re in my neck of the woods, I’d love to invite you out for coffee to chat over what you think the artisan community could use & needs.

In general, I just can’t wait to share some incredible features on these super talented artisans very soon.
