Waves of Grace Letter Co.

When it’s a heat wave but you still need your hot tea and fleece blanket while working because…air conditioning.
I spilled remaining said tea on said blanket immediately after this photo 🙃
FOLLOW THE SUN, my friends!
Let it (and Him 🙏🏼) shine all over you today!

I made the mistake of not reaching for a sweatshirt on this cool rainy morning and that immediately had to change. Dress it up, dress it down, just dress it. The day feels much more conquerable when you’re comfy cozy (and look how cute you are, too!). Which one are you pulling today?

I’ve been fortunate to grow up around inland lakes (Wisco love 🫶🏼 with a lake every few miles or so, so it seems) and I’ve never seen so many seashells as I have this year. Maybe I haven’t taken the time to notice? What do you guys think?

One of these survived a toddler (IYKYK) and the other unfortunately did not.
Tell me what your sweet and precious children ruined this week? 😜

It’s been 5 years since I launched my online shop on my own website.
6.5 years since I launched my first hand-lettered product collection as a side hustle to my corporate career.
7.5 since I started my instagram account, nervous to share this “new hobby” with the world.
8 years since God hit me in the face with this dream (aggressive, by prayer request) and I learned how to letter, and now 7 months into our storefront.

4 pregnancies, 3 beautiful children, a couple house moves, the sweetest neediest dog always right.next.to.me. and a husband that overwhelms me with his patience, steady encouragement, and belief in me when I’m unraveling or scared to take the next step.

It’s business and it’s absolutely personal. The story of us starting a family is what inspired it. My faith is now woven into every element and every day of work. My kids, husband, parents, neighbors of friends walk in through the shop door on a regular basis.

And you! You local ladies (and a few gents) come in and share your life with me. You share your stories, your heart, your challenges.
You make this such a gift.

And it’s also danggg hard. So far there’s no normal in the 2024 retail world.
I like normal :)
but this wild inconsistent roller coaster ride keeps me humble and leaning hard on Jesus, and honestly, that plus my family is all that matters in this life.

Since the shop’s opening in December, there are now too many work anniversaries to juggle! This is the last time I’ll be celebrating both my business birthday and my birthday together, so we’re going to do it BIG!

Starting with 36% off site wide in honor of the big 3-6. Sales like this never happen so don’t miss out! Use code BDAY36 at checkout and enjoy!!

It’s almost our online shop biz birthday (the big 5!) and before we get in our feelings, we’re so excited to introduce our first Mystery Bag sale!!! (Online and in store)

Here’s how it works:

We curated bags of one-off items or items we ordered too much of (rookie retail mistakes) to create the happiest grab bags at 50% off retail value 🥳

There’s a little bit of everything in each - think jewelry and accessories, drinkware, paper goods, and apparel, both from my hand-lettered goods and our boutique items.

There are at least 3 items in each bag and you chose from a $25 bag or $45 bag, again with twice the value inside!

Come treat yourself to a little mystery fun in honor of our birthday - the celebrations are just getting started…

Quite the setup! Show starts at 5 🎉

Music on Main kicks off tomorrow night with a big block party!

We have a very special Pop-Up in the shop for Midwest Mom Fest tomorrow:
In 2022 my friend Sam, her husband and 3 kids experienced the unimaginable with the unexpected and tragic loss of their 3 month old son, Sonny.
She’s been creating beautiful jewelry as part of her healing journey and is ready to share it with the world (video in the comments). I’m so proud to introduce It’s Always S☀️nny, where Samantha Kearns is Spreading S☀️nshine in honor of her sweet boy.
She’ll be with us from 10-4 tomorrow so be sure to stop out and shop and give her all the encouragement! She’s just getting started (and you’ll see how easy she is to cheer on once you meet her) so be sure to follow along here:

This event is RAIN or SHINE and while we have gotten lucky all years previous, the weather man is giving me a heart attack on this one! Friday it said sunny and 68 and today it's looking like rain, whatever the case.....THIS DAY IS HAPPENING IN A BIG WAY and as moms, we will be ready for it!

NOTE: any location changes due to weather will be posted here - check back often!

Here today (Wednesday!) until 5pm and very excited about these new crossbody purses - classic and elevated with all the convenience. Available in brown and black (already sold out of the tan). I’m graduating from diaper bag/no purse life so I might need to take this one home.

We love this cozy corner: spring throw pillows, locally crafted maple wooden trays, hand beaded crosses, wooden garland, the softest blankets, and of course our hand-lettered goods. Waiting here for you. Open in store Wed - Saturday and always available online at wavesofgraceletterco.com

$8 Mugs and $20 Wisco Love sweatshirts!? Say whaaat!?
The Perfectly Imperfect Blemished Sale is in full swing with some of our bestsellers over 50% off 😳
Not familiar? Let me walk you through ↓

We have high standards for the quality of our products. When items arrive from our third party printers
we do a quality check. If it doesn’t meet our standards we place it on our blemished rack and when
the rack fills up, it’s time for a sale!

We could easily throw them away but around here,
we celebrate what makes us unique. We celebrate our sometimes tumultuous journeys that leave us marked, changed, yet still worthy of all the love the world has to offer. So the Perfectly Imperfect Sale celebrates these beauties AND their blemishes (cuz we all have them) and makes the products you love available at a major discount (like 50% or more major discount).

These items have small imperfections in the imprint of the design.
You might have a hard time finding them... but we notice. We wouldn’t feel comfortable sending you a product that isn’t flawless yet we’d hate to
throw them away, so our loss is your gain.

Inventory is limited for most items so we expect these to sell out quickly. Jump on it and snag your favorite!
Prices are as marked. All blemished sales are final. Tell me which deal you’re scooping up today!

So fun meeting all of you at day one of Chocolate around the bend! Come visit tomorrow for day two from 10-2!
