Introducing the Graceful Journey Co: The Heart Behind the Shop
If you follow me on social media, you’ve seen me post about The Graceful Journey Co. I wanted to share a little of the heart behind the shop as well as some of my favorite goodies that are available over there.
For a long time, I’ve wanted to open a shop as part of the blog – not necessarily to make money (although providing for my family is a perk!) but to offer products that would encourage and uplift my community. I knew I wanted to partner with brands whose purpose was also to make people’s lives better – to point them upwards.
Romans 12:8 [If your gift] is to encourage, then give encouragement.
When my mom launched her business, Sagewood Sign Co, it was the push I needed to get going. I knew that partnering with her would provide a way to get her (amazing!) products out into the world but that she would also be a forgiving person to work with as I figured out the details.
Her business is a perfect fit to what the heart of The Graceful Journey is all about – encouraging moms, wives, women in their everyday. As they drink their coffee, decorate their homes, go to work, come home, make dinner, care for their families, run an online empire – whatever it is!
Our purpose is to bring repurposed wood products into the home as decor; to encourage, edify, enlighten and bring a smile to those who see it. – Sally, Sagewood Sign Co.
The whole idea for Graceful Journey Co. is to have a space that represents a collection of my favorite encouraging, uplifting products specifically directed toward women who are in the trenches of marriage, motherhood and their unique missions.
Right now, our partners are Sagewood Sign Co (unique, hand crafted barn board home decor and signs) and Premier Designs Jewelry. In the future, I plan to partner with other small businesses (If you’re interested, send me a message!) and artisans. I’d love to give back as well – to missions, our communities, etc.
I love that Premier Designs Jewelry gives woman a confidence boost and also gives back to some really awesome missions. As a jeweler, I have a separate website that has all the pieces listed, but I have special plans for the jewelry included in the Graceful Journey Co shop.
I am in the process of creating specific Premier Designs Jewelry collections perfect for busy moms to wear on a date night or on a Tuesday. Easy to wear pieces that give more bang for her buck and can be thrown on with a toddler on her ankles and a baby on her hip. What other collections of jewelry would you be interested in?
Are there any brands or products that you would love to see added to the shop? I’d love to hear from you!
Thanks so much for supporting me in this new adventure – I am so excited to to bring you products that I believe in!
In Grace & Freedom,
Anna
