My husband, dog and I moved to Greenville, SC about 3 months ago from Southern California, hence the new catch phrase of the blog "California girl living in a South Carolina world." Moving was much more difficult this time, I thought moving around for 4 years with my husband through his 9 year Marine Corp career would have better prepared me for this move, but not I'm getting used to calling Greenville home!
I have met so many wonderful people in Greenville and one of those many people my friend Amber has helped me with creating new logos for the blog and went with me to my first Indie Craft Parade at The Salvation Army Kroc Center in downtown Greenville.
The Indie Craft Parade is a festival put on my
The Makers Collective a local group that empowers artisans, entrepreneurs and makers through support of the local community and in return they inspire the local community to create, imagine and at this event shop, which I did!
Among my finds was a present for my husband, some prints and beautiful pieces that pay tribute to my new home Greenville like this coffee mug by
Color Columbia . The coffee mug shares images of Greenville's most popular spots including my favorite Falls Park on the Reedy where you can see the stunning Liberty Bridge.
I found some amazing prints for our apartment by artist
Jenny High Smith. These prints really spoke to me the "don't be afraid to fail be afraid not to try" print the most because this is actually my first blog post that's not sharing just inspirations of mine, but rather this new chapter of my actual life in a new environment.
So this post and image may give away one of the Christmas gifts that I got for someone, but
Go Forth Goods is too cool not to share, Sam and Nathan the founders were great to chat with! They sell hand crafted leather goods made here in the U.S. Every quarter Go Forth Goods gives 10% of their quarterly profits to
Sixty Feet, a nonprofit organization that helps care for an uplift children in Uganda.
On the way out of Indie Craft Parade my new best friends Amber and I checked out
The Wunder Bus the South's first traveling photobooth in a super cool restored VW Bus that you can book for events which is way better then just a regular photobooth because the beautiful Wunder Bus itself is an amazing prop for any photo.
