Small Business Saturday + Monthly Give Away! - The Untold Imprint

I am SO excited to be featuring, my friend, Phoebe Stout from the Untold Imprint as our Small Business + Give Away of the Month! 




I first met Phoebe via Facebook as I was aimlessly navigating the web, as I like to do in the early morning - I found her business page, and was immediately captivated by the elegant, yet raw, forms, textures, and colors of her hand printed + hand dyed linens. There is such genuine passion behind each and every mark she makes, every imprint. Her pieces range from everyday useful textiles, such as aprons and tote bags, to beautiful art pieces that can be framed, mounted, and forever cherished. She even makes accessories such as clutches, necklaces, and bracelets. What I love most about what Phoebe does, is that her work is not only astonishingly beautiful.. it can be enjoyed, loved, lived in, and will only get better with age. 


Although we have never met in person, and have only known each other for a short while, I feel that there is a real and intuitive truth within her... and it is beautifully expressed in each and every one of her creations.
