One of the things that impresses me most about so many of my friends, family, and former colleagues is how darn creative they are. It inspires me to think of ways that I can help support and bring attention to their art.
The blog seems like a great place to do just that, and hopefully this is the start of many Etsy shop celebrations to come.
I will start with Green Thirteen Co., a shop that specializes in custom invitations, logos, prints, wood signs, and even tattoo designs! The art of hand lettering is becoming a popular medium and for good reason; as someone with not-so-great handwriting, I admire what can be done with a skilled hand.
I first met shop owner Rachelle Welling (then Rachelle Boudry) when I was working at FOX 47. Rachelle was the producer for the radio program Michigan’s Big Show, which was filmed and aired on our station in the mornings. Rachelle and I have kept in touch via social media, and it has been such fun to watch her on Instagram as her business grows.
Some of my favorite things Rachelle makes are the commissioned pieces she has featured on her Instagram page:
Rachelle also makes beautiful items for weddings, from invitations to seating charts and even these sweet Mr. and Mrs. signs for her own wedding:
I also love this custom sign Rachelle made for a bridal shower gift:
Rachelle was very sweet when I asked about featuring her Etsy shop on my blog, and is offering a special promo code that can be used on any item in her shop! Now is a great time to order a wedding gift, something for your home, or even contemplate a tattoo.
Visit Green Thirteen Co. on Etsy and use the promo code STEFANIE for 20% off anything in Rachelle’s shop. The offer is good through June 30th.
Thank you, Rachelle! Be sure to follow Green Thirteen Co. on Instagram to see all of her latest work.
