DISPATCHES FROM THE HEART
of
WAXING POETIC
Imagine, being snowed in, somewhere remote, in a lodge, with many characters and they all have a story to tell about how they arrived here, this cold and blustery night.
We shared our worldly tales, and a bountiful Italian Spread. The evening was filled with laughter, joy and the holiday spirit. We have so much to feel blessed about this 2012 and looking forward to a fabulous 2013!
We are a pretty crafty bunch here at Waxing Poetic. So for our new Summerland store’s Christmas windows we turned to one of our resident artisans, Jessica Maher, who singlehandedly (ok, maybe she used two hands) constructed recycled paper mache renditions of our Pearl Banner Orb charms.
With all the glitter, glue and homespun, heartfelt sentiment, we are officially ushering in the Season!
Pictured above clockwise from top right: Friendship Seal Pendants, Flip Flourish Pendant—you have mine/heart symbol, Camp Charm—Heart, and Remedy in a Bottle—Love Elixir.
To cap off the end of the year, all of our hard work is introduced in the gift market where buyers from all over the country visit showrooms to get a first look at brand new product. This is where they can get their hands on our print catalog and stock Waxing Poetic in their retail stores.
Welcome to Nota Bene (both Latin and Italian for “note well,” which we do around here!). At Waxing Poetic, we make things, and get the chance to see them made real (and loved, and changed – by all of you). Here you will find tiny actions, tiny pieces, and tiny particulars of our process – the small (and not so small) things that matter much. Enjoy!
