When Kristin and I started our business journey here at our blog and at our online boutique, LoveFeast Shop we couldn't imagine that eventually our journey would lead us to hosting boutique events in our cities, Baltimore and Minneapolis. To begin with they were a way to mingle with the blogger friends we were making in each of our cities. Eventually they grew as our business grew to include businesses and brands. "Whatever you do, do it with gust-0." BlogLove events are places for both businesses, brands and bloggers to … [Read more...]

*The above picture is a screen shot of the new look of LoveFeast Shop. You get a sneak peek! We were rolling our bags down the conference hallway at Blissdom and looked at each other. "I can't believe we did it!" Chris Ann said. Five years ago when we started this blog, we had three goals. One, to see each other more often. Two, to start an online boutique and three, to help fund college for our 9 kids. We use to joke that we'd have to turn our dryer lint into dreams. We had been stay at home moms who had become pretty … [Read more...]

This past weekend, we were both in New York City for the NY International Gift Fair. This was our first time to the NYIGF. Last year, we went to the Atlanta Gift Show. These shows are trade shows for retailers who are in design, decor and gifts. It is basically floor, upon floor, building upon building, of products for your home. The first showroom we visited was the Global Designs showroom. Now, some vendors are protective of their products and ask that no pictures be taken, but many were more than willing to let us snap a few … [Read more...]
