Thanks for Sharing


Client: They need a thank you gift for a long time friend. She has always been generous with her time & resources; but now has given them something they will have forever. She shared her gift of picture taking by photographing their newborn daughter. Olan Mills? Not so much.

Gen: I also have been told know this friend loves to travel the world and embraces all things cultural. With that in mind, I'm off on the search for a timeless thank you. These porcelain plates are just it! The four gold leaf hands on the plate are a Muslim symbol for communal sharing. A little bit metaphorical, a little bit literal. Perfect.

Southern Goodbyes


Client: A group of good friends have gotten together for themed dinner parties for years. One of the couples is moving North; and she would like a proper going away gift(s). They love to cook, entertain and most certainly have a deep affection for all things Southern as that has always been "home".

Gen: I got it! Gifts will combine their passion for hosting, cooking and all things neighborly. Rustic sign from their old 'hood, bottled BBQ sauce & other tasty treats from some of the best (think Star Provisions), porcelain BBQ plates....and that's just the start! Custom wrapped in kraft paper with gorgeous ribbon.

Twitter Treat!


This treat went to a rockin' dad who likes his KK to be stylin'. Our friends at www.oneluckybaby.com whipped these handmade and fantastic bloomers up and I even got to pick out the fabric. 
Make sure to follow on Twitter as you could be next!
