YOU Are The Best

Yep, I'm talkin' to YOU.  My customers, repeat customers and those of you who have been taking about Wind & Willow Home to your friends and then they share with their friends...
Whew, this week has been so Rad and it's because I have been able to share this most special 1st Birthday celebration with all of my virtual friends.  Now, don't get me wrong, if for some reason I win the Powerball or Oprah wants to buy my company for a billion dollars I would have a real b-day party and fly you all to Minnesota but in reality you have made this the best week long celebration a girl and her little company could ask for.  I hope you have had fun.  From me to you...

Oh yeah, and the grand prize is........

This bowl is so awesome, I really want to keep it for myself but it is going home with one of YOU.

 This bowl is huge,  15" diameter made of Solid beech wood and adorned with pink tinsel glitter imbedded in a soft clear rubber (it is truly one of my favorite bowl that I have ever made) retail price $125.  Perfect for the Kitchen, Bedroom, Livingroom or anywhere you need a little extra sparkle.

New for Summer

Hi friends, I am not sure if I have formally mentioned our "Dipped" line that we have available on Etsy.  Many of you know about it already but for those of you who don't let me explain.  Dipped by Wind and Willow Home was started out of a need to have some unique spoons for the Artisan Gift Baskets  I have been building for my design clients as well as clients of my fellow Interior Designers. I wasn't able to find what I was looking for in the handmade marketplace so I decided to create them myself.  I started to sell them on Etsy and to my surprise they were extremely popular.  From there I decided to add some dipped bowls, candle cups and treasure pots.  With each new creation I felt a sense of excitement.  I couldn't stop creating.
 So, thanks to many amazing clients, popular blog posts and wholesale requests, I have been working on a full line of  "Dipped" bowls and spoons.  The line is in production and I am excited to complete it by the end of May.  I will be offering that line on Etsy and as a wholesale offering to brick and mortar shops around the world.  It will include 15 different colors of Mini Bowls, 5 colors of 7" salad bowls, 3 colors of 10" bowls, 5+ colors of candle cups and 5+ colors of treasure pots.  I will be posting the new products on Etsy over the next few weeks. 
Did you know that you can currently find my bowls and/or dipped spoons at Couverture and The Garbstore in London, England, Restored in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Loport Arts in Main, United States, just to name a few.  You can also get the newest updates, press and offerings if you follow us on Facebook.
So, without further ado, here is our newest offering: 7" wooden bowls hand dipped in an electric, neon pink.  The dip is translucent so you can see the stunning wood grain through the dipped portion.  I think they are the perfect mix of modern and tradition.  What do you think?

As you can see these stunners would make beautiful salad bowls for Summer.  Now that would be a fun picnic!

We are back from the show!

Hi everyone! We are back from our first Arts & Crafts Fair and boy was it an experience. We met some really great people and had a lot of fun. I was so pleased with how our booth came together, you can check it out below. A special thanks to all of you who came to visit! I also had a few new products to show at the fair. I will be putting them up on Etsy as soon as I get a nice enough day to take some photos. Oh, happy Earth Day!  I hope you had our environment and all the beauty that it holds in mind today!  So glad we have a day to reflect on this.

Hi Friends

Hello, I have really been slacking when it comes to blog posts but let me explain.  After launching my own line of housewares on Etsy called Dipped (check it out here) things have just gotten CRAZY!   It looks like they are a hit so I have been a dippin' fool.  In addition to that I wanted to test out my retail skills so I thought I would throw caution to the wind and jump right in...I will be showing that line at a very large arts and crafts fair in Shakopee, MN next week (April 20th- 22nd) more info. here.  I have also been included in the wonderfully curated Mother's Day/Eco Market at Poppytalk (here).   And last, I think, but not least I am going to give you a little sneak peak at Poppytalk's new lookbook, as it doesn't come out until Monday.  Enjoy!
