There are so many reasons this simple question can cut so deep. It is such a personal question that it is so hard not to take offense when the question is said in an inappropriate situation. This is hurtful for women who are trying to get pregnant, who have lost a child, and those who […]

We at the Olive Shoe just love florals. We use them in our homes, attire, cooking, and of course our business designs! Florals are so versatile and really never go out of style. With the promise of warm weather comes the promise of Spring and the perfect time to celebrate floral patterns. Here are some […]

Life is Lovely

The Little Black Dress Initiative begins tomorrow! About 40 women in the Anderson community will be wearing the same black dress or outfit for 5 consecutive days. Join us this week to learn about issues that affect women and children in Anderson county....and if you feel so inspired, donate!! To me, to any of the other dress wearers. Our goal is to raise $15,000 this year to disperse among 5 area non-profits. Can you spare your $5 coffee tomorrow to put towards a good cause? Starbucks will still be there on Tuesday 😉. {donate link in profile}

Wow, what a Friday. So many emotions...I’m honestly just now able to post without getting misty. Friday, I spent my last morning at TTi, the end of an era, a place that provided opportunity for so much personal and professional growth. At 11:30, I turned in my badge and key and walked out those doors for the last time as the “label guru” and headed over to my new office at @shopsmoore to begin the first day of a new era... Thank you so much to everyone who has called, texted, sent flowers, gifts, came to the ribbon cutting, encouraged me, advised me, assisted me, and cheered me on...thank you to those closest to me know the angst and struggles I have overcome to get to this oh so happy place. It has not been without hardship and adversity, I simply choose to find joy in the daily (and some days we have to look harder than others, right?). My Mom says that I “squeeze the day”. 🍋 I am genuinely thankful for each of them, all the days - the hard ones, the easy ones, the simple ones, and all the joys that come with them...ALL OF YOU...and most thankful for my incredible husband @vjames7980 for his support and unconditional love and the Big Guy Upstairs 🙏 for bestowing such beautiful gifts worth celebrating in each day, all the time, everywhere.

"Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony." - Colossians 3:14 Together we can do great things. A tiny house. 5 non-profits. One girl’s dream and the support of her friends and family and community. Some things are just more effective when they work together: bricks, logs, pasta, legos, puzzle pieces, PEOPLE. Right now I’m working REALLY hard on THREE specific projects. 1) Yesterday a loooooooonnnggggtime dream of mine came true, and I’m so thankful for everyone who had a hand in making it happen, in celebrating with me yesterday, in helping shape the dream into what it has become. 🙏👏💗🙌 I’ll be continuing to work my booty off, now FULL TIME, pursuing my passion of celebrating with people and creating pretty paper goods. 2) This week, the @juniorleagueanderson will do our second Little Black Dress Initiative, a fundraising campaign begun in London in 2014 to raise awareness to issues involving women and poverty. Around 40 women in the Anderson community will be wearing the same black dress for 5 days in a row and raising money for 5 area non-profits who work hard ALL YEAR to raise awareness and affect positive change in the Anderson community: @safeharborsc @andersonpregnancycare @foothillsally @aimcharitysc and The Junior League of Anderson County. When you see them, please high five them for their hard work. If you feel inspired, please donate. We hope you learn a little something, too. Our goal is to raise $15,000. 3) This year, I’ve been participating in Leadership Anderson, a program of the @andersonareachamber that serves to educate, promote networking, and challenge leaders in the community to expand their volunteer service through a class project. We’ve elected as our class project to build Anderson’s first tiny home in a community that has not seen a new building permit issued in over 30 years. We are attempting to raise $75,000 by the end of April to complete the build by Mid-June. Together we can do great things. Knowing it. Believing it. Praying it. Willing it. Join us to start a movement. Join us to be part of a community that believes in itself. Join us to make change happen.
