west elm local + recipe for crazy

It all started a couple months ago when I got a call from the good people of West Elm. That feels just as crazy to write it as it did when I got the call. I had been contacted about potentially having some of my designs at the new Oklahoma City and Tulsa stores. I was on cloud nine!

After weeks of conversations, prepping and filling out forms, I was on my way to deliver some postcards to the OKC store. It was a bit surreal walking in and handing them my work knowing people would be seeing and hopefully buying it in West Elm!!!

Then yesterday I got to take a tour of the new Tulsa store before it opened and was able to see my designs on their local display. So crazy and so cool. My work is now in a West Elm next door to Anthropology in OKC and at Utica Square right here in Tulsa. Pinch me.

I have liked West Elm for a while but didn't fall in love with the brand until yesterday. Every person I have met through West Elm has made me feel like family. They were passionate about the stories behind their products, enthusiastic about supporting local and handmade and just fun to be around. I'm so excited and proud to be part of their local assortment and honored to be among so many talented local makers.

And having this handsome fella by my side last night made the celebrating all the better. I'm so thankful to have his support and encouragement and thankful for you all of you guys too. Hugs to all.
