treehouse

I recently had the privilege of staying in this amazing treehouse with some friends outside of chattanooga, tn. there was a lot of wine, food, and nature time.

TREEHOUSE Atlanta!

In addition to helping with the beauty everyday, I also own and run a small kids shop and creative space in Athens.  It's called TREEHOUSE kid and craft and it's been chugging along since 2010. 

This past year my sister, Kim, has been working for me and we came up with the idea of opening up a "sister shop" in Atlanta.  After many months of hard work, late nights, and sore bodies, we open our doors today. 

Last night as we closed the doors, ignoring many details that can be completed over the next several months, my heart filled with so much joy and pride.  i am so excited to meet our new community!

Here are a few images throughout the past couple weeks of putting this new shop together!

we will be throwing an opening party today from 5-7, if you are in the atlanta area, please join us!

farm day at 3 porch farm

our friends at 3 porch farm held their 3rd annual sustainable farm tour last weekend and it was a gorgeous day! they were selling veggie starts and honeypops, of course, as well as leading tours of the farm. home.made was there cooking food and treehouse lead a craft making glittered leaves, always a crowd-pleaser! and, there was great music all day too. 3 porch guesses that over 600 people came to the farm for the event, so it was a great success! if you are in the athens-area next year, you will want to come!

glittered magnolias

all of us here at beauty everyday have other work that we do, in addition to this blog, our books, etc...rebecca runs a pottery studio, i am a photographer, and kristen owns a sweet shop in town, treehouse. there was a great article about kristen's shop in our local paper recently, that focused on a class that our friend hope hilton leads there, called "Craft, Inc". hope has a great group of talented pre-teens who are creative *and* have a good sense of the business side of things. for the holiday markets they made different things to sell. one of the things they made were these glittered magnolia leaves and i love them. this is another good way to bring something from the outside in the wintertime...just paint on some glue and then sprinkle with glitter and let dry- instant sparkle! {addendum: treehouse teacher lindsay troutman originally introduced the glittered magnolia craft to everyone at treehouse...here is a link to her tutorial on how to make them. enjoy!}

farmhouse pop-up

for the last two and a half years, kristen has had a little shop called treehouse that sells great things for kids, as well as craft supplies for all of their great classes (for kids & adults). over drinks a few months ago, a group of us conjured the idea of a special pop-up shop, just in time for mother's day. a corner of treehouse was transformed as we installed some special things made (or found) by local friends: kristen, rebecca, amanda, rinne, field trip, home.made, three porch farm, the national, double dutch, smokey road press, sweet olive farm, and many others! inspired by life on the farm, the items include special handmade goodies, edible treats, things for the garden, found treasures, and original art. the pop-up runs until may 13, so stop by to check it out and find something special.
