Did I get your attention? – Pretty wonderful stuff, huh? One of my favorite online stores is fawn&forest for a long list of reasons. I have been wanting to write this feature for quite a while now & I’m excited to share the wonderfulness with you today.
I remember the day I got my first email from Summer about having my work in her store. Her enthusiasm and humor was infectious. I was in the last few months of being pregnant with Sayer and in sort of an overwhelmed space to say the least. I wasn’t sure of how much I could commit to as far as klt:production, given I hadn’t had a baby before. But what I did know, is that I wanted to work with this cool woman! The store was scheduled to open in about 6 months from when she contacted me so I felt safe to tell her that she could count on me. In that 6 + months, she was the mosts supportive and nurturing email friend (still is). For those of you that are moms, you might remember that those first few months of having a baby are very surreal. Summer had one little boy at the time and offered up advice and support in those times when I wasn’t sure up from down. So for that fact alone, fawn&forest has a soft spot in my heart. But when I saw the store launch for the first time- I was hooked! The combination of modern & handmade designs is stunning! I continue to marvel all that f&f has to offer. To this day, f&f has the biggest selection of klt:works products anywhere and I truly adore working with them. Some of Sayer’s biggest purchases have come from them as well – thanks to clever little trade & discount deals. It seriously is my “go to” store for special items.
tested & loved f&f items:
Oeuf Classic Crib Conversion Kit- We just adore this crib as a toddler bed- great conversion!
DwellStudio fitted sheet- Of course, all things DwellStudio are fun.
Offi Capsule Chair & Tiki Stool – They don’t carry these same items anymore- but all Offi furniture is awesome. (capsule chair in blue in the right corner of the room- green tiki stool near the books on the left)
Little Heros Green Soaring Star Cape- This is such a sweet cape. I got it for Sayer last year for his 2yr birthday. (in the room photo on the far right – hanging on the rack- next to the offi chair)
Mutsy Highchair– All Mutsy is wonderful. They don’t have this particular high chair anymore, but we are still using it! It adjusts to a regular chair. -Smart purchase…
Fatboy Junior Beanbag Chair- This was handy when Sayer was a baby too- one of those purchases that last for a long time.
But the love doesn’t stop there. Summer & Danny have 3 sweet fawns in their Portland forest that they call home, Eliot, Owen, & Isac (who just arrived this Summer) . They are fellow NW dwellers which only makes me connect with them more. Summer sent me these photos of her little fawns enjoying some klt:goodies and I can’t help but smile. The top pictures shows both Eliot & Owen in a vintage klt:owl tee that seems to have gotten lots of love. The bottom photos are of Owen with his tiny owl tank & his slug lovey. If I remember correctly, Eliot came up with a very cool name for the slug that just might work as a book character someday.
I feel so lucky to work with this lovely couple and to watch both f&f and their family grow. Ok, so why post this today of all days? Well, Summer and I are both Project Runway fans- we sort of cyberly watch it together. Tonight is the finale- so I felt like it was just the right time. I can’t think of a better way to watch Project Runway- but to shop at fawn&forest while you are watching….
