Both of my parents are from Alabama but I finished highschool in Manhattan, Kansas – and that’s where I met my husband and we were married. My father retired a few years ago and they decided to stay in Kansas!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Meet the Mermaids: Julie - What are you passionate about?</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am passionate about health and fitness. It took years of doctors visits and unexplained health problems to finally learn that I have endometriosis. Now I am very passionate about sharing my story and all that I have learned, despite the limited “solutions” that were offered to me.  How did you find your way into the G&amp;G family?  A little over a year ago, my husband and I had just moved to the area. After searching for a job where I could learn new skills and grow professionally, I found a listing for “creative concierge” at Grit &amp; Grace. Interested in fostering my creative side, I was so intrigued by the brand mission and overall vibe. As soon as I finished my interview I knew I had found something truly special.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Meet the Mermaids: Julie - What do you do in your free time?</image:title>
      <image:caption>I spend a lot of my free time moving my body! I always do a mix of things so that I don’t get bored. I love everything from dance cardio, swimming, weight lifting, barefoot beach running, yoga, and HIIT. I also feel like I am always spurting out random fun facts, but that’s because I particularly love learning about nutrition, history, and ancient philosophy. Besides that, I spend time at home with my best friend – my husband, and our german shepherd.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Meet the Mermaids: Julie - What are you most proud of recently?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Over Thanksgiving I was recalling an embarrassing memory I had of when I tried out for my high school dance team – I was the only one to not make the team and I assumed it was because I had never done any formal dance lessons. My mom stopped me and she said “Julie, it wasn’t that you weren’t good enough! It was only because I couldn’t get your previous swim coach to send over your sports physical.” I had spent many years telling myself that I had failed but turns out it was just an unfortunate situation. I am proud of my younger self for trying something completely new and I learned that sometimes failures aren’t what they seem!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Meet the Mermaids: Julie - What roles have you done at G&amp;G and how has that evolved over time?</image:title>
      <image:caption>I started as a Creative Concierge working in our flagship boutique. From there I found a knack for creating displays and became an assistant manager. A little while after that I had the opportunity to work our wholesale booth at a tradeshow and about 9 months ago I stepped into the position of store manager and buyer. Most of my days consist of helping lead the team at our flagship store and working alongside my team to select and order merchandise for the store!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I strive to bring little moments to life through art making; whether it be animals in nature or a glimmer of light seeping through my bedroom window projecting an interesting pattern on the wall. You never know what might inspire a living painting! How do you practice sustainability in your personal life? I try to practice minimalism in my everyday life; before a purchase I ask myself if that item is a want or a need. This has helped me prioritize and keep waste at a minimum.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Meet the Mermaids: Clayr - What are you passionate about?</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am extremely passionate about sustainability, both in the workplace and at home. I love repurposing, thrifting, composting, and gardening. I am also very into animals and nature, and am specifically enthralled by marine life and the beach! How do you practice sustainability in your personal life? My favorite way to practice sustainability in my own life is through composting. There is so much to learn about how different wastes have to be processed! It encourages me to live and eat healthier, and I hope to have multiple composting piles at home one day, just like I do at work! I also love thrifting and shopping at farmers and artisan markets, rather than buying mass produced or brand new. Most of my favorite furniture pieces, clothing items, and household or kitchen basics that I own are thrift finds from all over the country. In my day to day life, my favorite sustainable switches are my reusable bottles and cotton face wipes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Meet the Mermaids: Clayr - What roles have you done at G&amp;G and how has that evolved over time?</image:title>
      <image:caption>I was hired as a warehouse and studio associate. Immediately I loved collecting and spending time at our open air warehouse, and I saw ways we could improve our production process and outreach efforts to match our passion for the environment. As I became the warehouse manager, I implemented sustainable material switches, expanded our oyster recycling program, and represented Grit &amp; Grace at DNR Litter pickups. I began regularly discussing the future of Grit &amp; Grace in terms of sustainability with our owner and founder, Rachel Gordon. Together we brainstormed a host of eco friendly dreams for Grit &amp; Grace that I could bring to life as our sustainability coordinator. Since stepping into this role, I still oversee all warehouse and oyster recycling action, but have also had the opportunity to implement a composting program for Grit &amp; Grace, host and teach sustainability lessons, and refurbish our beloved porch garden as well as minimize, recycle, and repurpose our material wastes across departments. I am constantly brainstorming new avenues for Grit &amp; Grace to tackle sustainability and give back to the environment and am so excited to continue growing in this role!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>How does your family celebrate Mother’s Day? I love to be surprised, so I let my family plan the whole day for me. We usually start with a family outdoor activity, usually spending time at the beach. We then have a big Mother’s Day lunch at home, and I get pampered by the kids with their sweet hugs, flowers, notes, and gifts. We play games, watch movies, and laugh a lot. Mother’s Day helps me create a stronger connection with my family and a foundation based on love and unity. photo credit: Brianna Stello</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I have a plethora of wonderful memories with my mom and grandmother. It’s this one giant blurred image of sunshine and good food. One memory did just jump to my mind of when my grandmother snuck me from my house during my “nap time” when I was a child so that we could go on an adventure instead. I probably thought of this because my son won’t go to sleep right now, and I’ve debated letting him escape his crib.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Ways You Can Help Prevent Water Pollution - Spring has arrived, and Charlestonians have one thing on their mind: water. Warmer temperatures and more sunshine translate to beach days, SUP kayak adventures, sunset boat cruises, and waterfront dining in our gorgeous coastal town.</image:title>
      <image:caption>But have you ever paused to think about water quality in our community? Water pollution is a serious issue around the globe, and Charleston, with its fragile marshes, beautiful beaches, and abundance of creeks and rivers, is no exception. Sources of water pollution include (but are not limited to) microplastics, chemicals, agricultural runoff, and improperly treated wastewater. Fortunately, each of us holds enormous personal power when it comes to protecting our environment, and today, we're discussing 10 simple ways that you can help prevent water pollution and improve water quality in the Lowcountry.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Ways You Can Help Prevent Water Pollution - Support local oyster farms.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Did you know oyster farming is one of the only restorative forms of aquaculture? Oysters are filter feeders, and they filter pollutants into tiny packets, which they harmlessly deposit on the seafloor. Because a single adult oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water each day, oyster farming can actually help reduce the number of harmful agents and sediment in our waterways and improve water quality.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Ways You Can Help Prevent Water Pollution - Recycle your oyster shells.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Don’t chuck that shuck! Recycling oyster shells is essential for maintaining a healthy marine environment and restoring wild oyster populations. While most oysters we eat are farm-raised, wild oysters play a pivotal role in protecting fragile coastal ecosystems. Like their farmed cousins mentioned above, wild oysters are nature’s superheroes when it comes to filtering and improving water quality.  Wild oyster reefs are also essential as a breakwater against storm surges and coastal flooding, which washes harmful agricultural runoff into our beloved rivers, streams, and harbors. However, to form reefs, free-swimming juvenile oysters (also called spat) must attach to a rigid substrate or fellow oyster shell to reach maturity. Recycling your oyster shells not only keeps valuable shells out of the landfill, but it helps combat our statewide oyster shell shortage and allows us to replenish wild oyster populations.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Ways You Can Help Prevent Water Pollution - Separate your trash from your oyster shells.</image:title>
      <image:caption>After you’ve polished off those oysters on the half shell, take a moment to separate out all plastic, paper, and other waste from your shells. This simple gesture will make a world of difference when recycling oyster shells and preventing water pollution. Too often, this trash gets lost in the hustle and bustle of the hospitality industry and must later be painstakingly sorted out and removed by SCDNR and volunteers.  You would be amazed at the number of condiment cups, saltine wrappers, plastic cutlery, straws, cans, bottles, and even shuckers the Grit &amp; Grace team digs out of the oyster recycling beds during our litter pickups.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Ways You Can Help Prevent Water Pollution - Dispose of items responsibly.</image:title>
      <image:caption>When it comes to disposing of items, make sure you’re doing so responsibly. Pick up after your pet, locate your nearest clothing recycling drop-offs, take note of plastic bag recycling opportunities, look into composting or curbside compost services, and follow municipal waste guidelines.  Additionally, consult your local convenience center on recycling items like tires, computers, TVs, oil, and paint. Most importantly, don’t leave hazardous household materials on the curb. Not only is that against municipal regulations, but you risk these items spilling into storm drains and entering our watershed.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Ways You Can Help Prevent Water Pollution - Invest in a quality reusable bag.</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you’ve been looking for a reason to score a cute new beach tote, we’ve got about 3,040,000 of them. That’s the number of plastic bags Americans landfill each year, with only 10% of plastic bags being recycled. Because of their lightweight nature, plastic bags have a dangerous tendency to blow out of people’s hands, cars, trash cans, and dumpsters, making them one of the most common forms of litter and pollution worldwide and posing a particular danger to marine life. Marine life often becomes entangled with or accidentally consumes these bags, but even more plastic bags will fracture into dangerous microplastics, one of the leading forms of water pollution. Break up with plastic bags and fall in love with one of our adorable Renewable Fiber Beach Totes. Perfectly sized to take you from a farmers market brunch with the gals to a day on the beach, the Renewable Fiber Beach Tote is hand-loomed and dyed in Madagascar, off the coast of East Africa, and is built to last using two natural, renewable fibers: raffia and sisal.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Ways You Can Help Prevent Water Pollution - Join a litter pick-up.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Be part of the solution, not the pollution! Grab a few friends and join a local litter pick-up to help put trash in its place. As a Finding Nemo character once said, “All drains lead to the ocean,” and picking up litter before it washes into ditches, drainage systems, creeks, rivers, and the ocean is one of the most impactful things you can do to prevent water pollution and improve water quality.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Ways You Can Help Prevent Water Pollution - Support local, sustainable farms.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Get to know your farmer! A lot of small farms have passionate environmentalists and community activists at the helm, and they need your support. When you support sustainable, local agriculture, you reduce the number of food miles it takes to get groceries to your door. You also help eliminate excessive packaging waste and have access to fresher, often longer-lasting produce! Finally, you support sustainable and regenerative farming practices, which can help prevent water pollution by reducing the amount of agricultural waste and runoff reaching your waterways. One of the best ways to get to know your farmer is to shop at your local farmers' market! The Charleston Farmers Market takes place in Marion Square every Saturday between March and November. Come visit your favorite local vendors, including Grit &amp; Grace Studio, between 8 am and 2 pm.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Ways You Can Help Prevent Water Pollution - Reduce your dependence on single-use plastic.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Whenever possible, try to eliminate single-use plastic items from your life. Invest in several reusable water bottles and market totes, and stash them in your car, workplace, home, and bag. There are also several eco-friendly alternatives for drinking straws, cutlery, and more. When you do purchase new items, consider their consumer lifespan and packaging. The less plastic waste we introduce into the supply and demand cycle, the less we’re likely to find in our marshes and the ocean.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Ways You Can Help Prevent Water Pollution - Commit to clean beauty products.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Did you know that many beauty products contain harmful additives? It’s important to read the labels and invest in a clean beauty routine. Because of lax regulation and proprietary fragrance protection, “some popular fragrance additives are chemicals that have actually made the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hazardous waste list.” Many exfoliating agents also contain microplastic beads, which wash down the drain and into the water system during bathing or swimming.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>By supporting sustainably-minded small businesses, you’re investing in a brighter future for everyone. We are proud to recycle 10 oyster shells for each oyster gift purchased. To date, we have recycled more than 9,105 gallons of landfill-bound oyster shells from Charleston restaurants!  We are also Sea Turtle Guardians through the South Carolina Aquarium, and we carry a large number of fair trade, sustainable, and responsibly sourced gifts in our Flagship store at 125 King Street.</image:caption>

Rian and Clayr are the backbone of our in-house oyster shell recycling program, which has rescued more than 9,150 gallons of landfill-destined oyster shells and returned them to SCDNR's oyster reef restoration programs. Rian, each day you ground us and inspire the Grit &amp; Grace family to work for a greener, healthier, more sustainable world for all its species. We are so grateful for your hard work, determination, and for showing us the wonder of snakes (from a reasonable distance).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I am originally from Red Bank, SC. I moved to Charleston 6 years ago to attend The Citadel. I studied microplastics in college, and a lot of that work involved microplastics in oysters. When that ended, I was looking for oyster-related jobs in Charleston and came across G&amp;G. I was really drawn to the opportunity to learn more about our oyster shell recycling program here in South Carolina. photo credit: Reese Moore Photography</image:caption>

      <image:caption>While not technically a “sea turtle”, the diamondback terrapin is my favorite South Carolina turtle species. They are small, estuarine turtles that inhabit coastal South Carolina marshes, and they are absolutely stunning. I come across them frequently when I’m out in the marsh and always enjoy seeing them.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Meet the Mermen: Rian - You’ve spent a lot of time working with SCORE. What’s something you wish more people knew about oyster shell recycling?</image:title>
      <image:caption>I wish more people realized the importance of keeping trash out of their recycled shell. The amount of saltine cracker wrappers, beer cans, single-use plastics, and other trash is disheartening. Luckily SCDNR does a wonderful job of removing litter before placing the shell back into the marsh.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Meet the Mermen: Rian - A friend is visiting Charleston for the first time. What are your top three must-see spots or things to do in the Lowcountry?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Casual Crabbing with Tia, or Let’s Go Crabbing on Airbnb experiences, is a must for anyone visiting Charleston. I may be biased because I work there as well, but it really is quite the experience. You can learn to crab, fish, and throw a cast net like a true local. You may even leave with dinner!  photo credit: Reese Moore Photography</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The best part of working for Grit &amp; Grace is having a work family to hang out with and talk to while you work. Clayr and I really have fun going on “treasure hunts” at the port, looking for lost oyster shuckers, knives, and other goodies in the piles of used oysters.</image:caption>

Few people have such in-depth, first-hand knowledge of the Grit &amp; Grace adventure, and it's been a joy and privilege to have her on board through all the trials and triumphs these last 4 years. It's also been our honor to share in so much of Gail's personal journey. We've watched her grow, pursue her passions, embrace motherhood, and continue to challenge herself. This sweet, patient woman is a quiet force of nature, amazing mother, and warm friend to all who pass through our studio. We are so excited to feature her on today's Meet the Mermaids profile.

I love creating pieces of art and then seeing them go into a box shipped into someone else's life.

      <image:caption>The perfect date night means snacking/boozing in this order: Bar George, The Glass Onion, Moe's Crosstown, and The Warehouse. If we don't make it to all of those, it just means the food and drinks at one were too good to leave. I've always loved the Rainbow Row Earrings. I have a sage and pearl pair. I think of The Rolling Stones "She's Like A Rainbow" song every time I wear them.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If you’re searching for a Charleston wedding venue that will make you feel like a star, look no further than the American Theater.

      <image:caption>We’d make another corny food pun, but finding healthy food in Charleston is serious business. Gaulart &amp; Maliclet Cafe Restaurant, lovingly known as Fast &amp; French to locals, is a tried-and-true veteran on the Lowcountry food scene, and for a good reason. They focus on fresh, affordable, healthy cuisine with a French flair, and their menu is filled with perfectly portioned options for every budget, occasion, diet, and time of day.

Once you've dodged and weaved past the chocolava and "smoke show" oatmeal cookies, order the grasshopper toast or Gail's lunch recommendation, the salad plate.

      <image:title>Blog - Best Restaurants in Charleston: Our Favorite Healthy Food in Charleston, SC - Fuel Charleston</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sometimes self-care means not sharing your food, especially when you’re at Fuel Charleston. The fresh Caribbean cuisine and laid-back vibe landed this local gem on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives in 2012, and the hip dog-friendly patio space and open-air bar at this refurbished filling station-turned-restaurant make it a favorite on weekends, especially when the weather is nice. Be sure to try Stevie’s go-to, the grilled shrimp salad with red onions, sliced pears, roasted tomatoes, avocados, blue cheese crumbles, and champagne vinaigrette, but be ready to fend off your fellow diners with your fork. photo credit: @charlestongirlsclub</image:caption>

      <image:caption>For a forkful of flavor, head to Leon’s Oyster Shop and grab a Siam salad, Kelsey’s must-have. This yummy salad tops napa and red cabbage with avocado, peanuts, orange, fried onions, and fresh herbs, and it’s sized to share. While there are some incredible heavier and fried entrees at Leon’s that you should absolutely try, they also have some of our favorite healthy food in Charleston. Grab some raw oysters for the table, some avocado toast, and sides of the black-eyed pea salad and marinated cucumber salad.</image:caption>

We experienced so much growth as a small business and as individuals! We are so deeply thankful for the outpouring of love and support we received over the last year; we couldn't have done it without you. We hope you enjoy this year's Grit &amp; Grace Studio recap. Though this list is by no means comprehensive, we decided to "count our blessings" by breaking our year down by the numbers. We look forward to continuing this growth, giving back to our community, and bringing people together as we approach another beautiful new year. Let us join together to spread love, share joy, and seas the day!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Inside the Studio: A Look Back at 2021 - A Holiday Greeting From Rachel:</image:title>
      <image:caption>As we scrolled through our phones and collected our memories for this year, I'm in awe of how much we've grown as a small business and as individuals. I'm so proud of what this company has become and where we're headed, and I look forward to continuing to give back to our community in the new year. From unveiling the Grit &amp; Grace Cottage to creating our Mala Workshops to moving into our gorgeous new Flagship space, this year was one for the books! We also celebrated our individual team members: we welcomed new babies, discovered creative talents, and realized personal goals. Above all, we are so humbled and grateful for the love and support we've received from our village. None of this would have been possible without your encouragement and patronage. May your holidays be merry and bright! Rachel</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Intentional Christmas Gift Wrapping - At Grit &amp; Grace Studio, we know the magic of Christmas comes from the joy of gift-giving. All the lights on the tree dim in comparison to the sparkle in a loved one's eyes as they open a thoughtful Christmas present!</image:title>
      <image:caption>We understand that there is an art to gift-giving. From selecting a present to make your friend or family member's heart sing to creatively packaging your gift in an intentional, loving way, giving a gift is a celebration of someone special and a meditation on your bond with that individual. A simple, heartfelt gift can speak volumes, especially when your attention to detail extends to gift wrapping. An artfully wrapped gift lets the recipient know that you've put some heart, soul, and magic into their experience this holiday. If you're reading this post atop a pile of wrinkled wrapping paper and shredded ribbons, take a deep breath. We've thought outside the (gift) box, so you don't have to! Read on for 6 easy gift wrapping ideas to add some heart and whimsy to your holiday gift-giving routine.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Intentional Christmas Gift Wrapping - Use creative gift wrapping to cultivate mindfulness.</image:title>
      <image:caption>You’ve probably never thought about gift wrap as an opportunity to engage the senses, are we right? It can be hard to cultivate mindfulness amidst the hustle and bustle of decking the halls and trimming the tree. When you add a sensory element to your gift wrap, you invite your loved one to slow down and be present! Consider adding a sprig of rosemary, dried orange slice, or cinnamon stick for a rich olfactory experience that will channel holiday nostalgia. We also love adding jingle bells for a playful flourish that reminds them of childhood memories of listening for Santa’s reindeer!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Intentional Christmas Gift Wrapping - Let your Christmas gift wrapping deliver an inspirational message.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Your gift wrapping is so much more than a way to conceal a present: think of it as a blank canvas to deliver an inspirational or heartwarming message! For example, our eco-friendly gift boxes are stamped with the encouraging mantra, “The world is your oyster!” to remind your loved one of their personal power and potential.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Intentional Christmas Gift Wrapping - Go beyond the gift tag.</image:title>
      <image:caption>A gift tag is, obviously, a way to denote who a present is for, but you can also use this as an opportunity to impart a personal touch. We love the idea of creating an elegant gift tag that's also a permanent keepsake to remind your loved one that they're on your mind. Let us add their name to a Gilded Oyster Shell Christmas Ornament, and they can add it to their tree or mantle to enjoy for years to come.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Intentional Christmas Gift Wrapping - Curate an experience.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Wrapping paper can be lovely, but if you're giving a gift basket or curating an experience for your loved one, unveiling all their presents at once can add a wow factor. Use a beautiful woven basket or box filled with delicate tissue paper or crinkle paper. Nestle their gifts inside the basket, and add a decorative bow or festive accent. A grand reveal can clearly communicate your concept for a date-night-in-a-box, spa basket, or taste of Charleston gift. photo credit: Reese Moore Photography</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Intentional Christmas Gift Wrapping - Let the packaging be part of the gift.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Add a gracious touch to your Christmas gift wrapping with packaging that's a gift in and of itself. We love to fill our Renewable Fiber Beach Totes, Canvas Zip Bags, and Handmade Bamboo Baskets with heirloom items for an elegant (and eco-friendly) holiday surprise. Your friend can then enjoy their gift packaging as a stylish bag or decorative catchall.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Intentional Christmas Gift Wrapping - Include a handwritten note.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Perhaps the greatest gift is words from the heart. Adding a warm handwritten note is sure to make them feel extra special and will bring a smile to their face! Are you worried your handwriting will require a cryptographer to decipher your holiday greeting? We've got you. Our in-house calligraphers are ready to put your tidings of comfort and joy to paper with a delicate (and legible) flourish.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 12 Days of Christmas Gifts - We love the idea of 12 Days of Christmas, but let’s be honest: we need a partridge in a pear tree the way a fish needs a bicycle… and let’s not even start on that eleven pipers piping bit. Are they bringing wine? Do they come with earplugs?</image:title>
      <image:caption>We’ve decided to forgo the eight maids a-milkin’ (weird) in favor of a practical, contemporary take on the 12 Days of Christmas. We’ve filled this year’s 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide with stunning heirloom gifts to accommodate all budgets, challenging shopping lists, and long to-do lists. We hope you’ll find plenty of holiday shopping inspiration to keep your spirits bright, and don’t forget to review last year’s 12 Days of Christmas Shopping, which focused on the 12 different loved ones that may have you stumped, such as the student in your life, the newborn baby, and the avid traveler.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We're taking a break from wrapping presents, stringing Oyster Shell Ornaments, and juggling shipping boxes to highlight one of our beloved team members, Elisa. Elisa is our Wholesale Communications Manager, the artist behind our whimsical party crowns, a frequent (and unsuspecting) product model, and Santa's busiest unsung helper. Elisa is hard at work readying orders for shipping and helping our wholesale customers navigate this busy shopping season. We've made a list and checked it twice, and Elisa is solidly in the Nice column! This shop angel always has a sweet smile on her face. Elisa brings positive energy and a gentle touch to everything she does at Grit &amp; Grace Studio, and we are so grateful to call her family! Elisa, today we raise a toast to you! You are a dear friend, a joy, and a gift to all.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Meet the Mermaids: Elisa - What are your must-have G&amp;G products?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Of course, you must have a Gilded Oyster Ring Dish. I love the Kiawah Island Earrings, Golden Tide Oyster Necklace, and Edisto Gilded Oyster Necklaces. My absolute favorite, though, is the Ocean Oyster Dishes, because they are one-of-a-kind and my favorite product to create.

      <image:caption>I love food, so this is a hard one. My favorites are 167 Raw, Magnolias, Halls Chophouse, Tavern &amp; Table, Mondo’s, and at some point, you have to stop at Hometeam BBQ downtown. For a gift, an Oyster Ring Dish, but if they already have one, then I'll give them a Grit Adjustable Bolo Bracelet in pearl or agate. They work with everything and layer well.

Our mischievous, pocket-sized Elf on a Shell is making magic, keeping spirits bright, and, well, wreaking some havoc. When he's not sledding in our Gilded Oyster Shells, hiding in the mistletoe, or zip-lining down our Oyster Shell Garlands, Santa's liveliest little helper is getting into our hair (literally). He’s stealing sips of our coffee and getting a little blitzed with Blitzen. (But honestly, who hasn't had a day like that during the holidays? We feel you, Sandy.) In between his capers and caffeine-or-cabernet-fueled antics, our Elf on a Shell keeps an eye on all the store happenings, shoppers, and staff.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 15 Best Thanksgiving Traditions - Any holiday that includes multiple pies and a post-dinner nap is at the top of our list at Grit &amp; Grace Studio. There's so much to love about Thanksgiving, from the crisp autumn air to dusting off grandma's secret recipe for making green bean casserole.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This holiday is steeped in nostalgia and rooted in history, and there are so many Thanksgiving traditions that really bring the magic to this epic feast day.  While gathering with loved ones is one of our favorite Thanksgiving traditions, we also have to list giving thanks around a beautifully decorated table... and hiding (or hoarding) our cherished Tupperware of leftover stuffing in the back corner of the fridge. (Don't judge us.) Every family has its own special take on Thanksgiving traditions, but today, we're dishing out some of the Grit &amp; Grace family's personal favorites!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 15 Best Thanksgiving Traditions - The Traditional Thanksgiving Menu</image:title>
      <image:caption>Stop, drop, and pass the rolls! Though the debates of fresh versus canned cranberry sauce and pumpkin versus pecan pie rage on, when it comes to Thanksgiving, everyone can agree that food is a top priority. Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and green bean casserole top the list of classic Thanksgiving dishes, but a traditional Thanksgiving menu varies depending in which part of the country you’ll be feasting.  In the Southeastern US, cornbread stuffing, macaroni and cheese, biscuits, collard greens, corn casserole, and deep-fried turkey all hold sacred places at the table, while in the Northeastern states, hasty pudding, sauerkraut, and even oyster dressing are dearly held favorites. Heading to the Midwest this holiday? Don’t be surprised to find wild rice casserole, applesauce, Derby pie, or scalloped potatoes on the menu.</image:caption>

Pass a strand of Blessing Beads around the table as each person offers up their thanks.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Girl, after spending a meal wrestling your younger brother for the dark meat and listening to your uncle’s newest cringe-worthy joke for the fourth time, you deserve a nap. When it comes to Thanksgiving, our mantra is to eat, rest, repeat. Swap the dress shoes for slippers and change into those spandex-laden comfy clothes: you’ve got a standing post-Thanksgiving date with the couch (or guest room).</image:caption>

Then on the count of three, they pull to see which person gets the larger side, thus guaranteeing their wish comes true. If competing over a wishbone isn’t quite your style, pick up one of our Flying Wish Paper Kits for a more whimsical experience.</image:caption>

Whether you’re sneaking bites a few hours after your family meal or crafting towering turkey, cranberry, and green bean sandwiches the next day, Thanksgiving leftovers transform snack time into an absolute art.

Customized gifts and personalized Christmas ornaments are this holiday season's must-haves under the tree, Holly reports, whether your loved ones have been naughty, nice, or subjecting you to lengthy Zoom calls with poor internet connection.  (It's also rumored that Santa prefers you skip the milk and cookies in favor of a cheese plate and a merry bottle of Merlot, but Holly could neither confirm nor deny.) We've consulted with Holly on the 25 best customization ideas for holiday gifts, and we've wrapped them up into a festive blog post to get you started on your Christmas shopping!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Fortitude: Celebrating Your Grit - Let’s talk about grit.</image:title>
      <image:caption>According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, grit can refer to rough, hard bits of sand (such as the grit which causes an oyster to create a pearl) or the strength of mind or spirit, and it’s that fortitude that we’re delving into today. We believe in building our small business and personal foundation on three essential cornerstones: grit, grace, and gratitude. Practicing these values enriches our life’s experience, strengthens our personal relationships, focuses us on wellness, and helps us persevere in the face of any challenges or setbacks that may come our way. Join us as we discuss what it means to have grit, why it’s important, and how to celebrate your inner strength.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Fortitude: Celebrating Your Grit - What is grit?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Professor of psychology, New York Times best-selling author, and MacArthur fellow Angela Duckworth defines grit, in short, as “perseverance and passion for very long-term goals.” The more nuanced explanation of grit includes one’s ability to overcome obstacles, to remain tenacious, to maintain courage in the face of or fear of failure, to learn from failures, and overall strength of character. We believe that passion, commitment, and a diligent spirit are intrinsic to resilience and grit, but there’s more to it than that.</image:caption>

      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb2e3278989722c01c44085/1631648228144-0YC2OG6ITY4VUVA1Q4NZ/RTM-1039+copy.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Blog - Fortitude: Celebrating Your Grit - According to Forbes, there are 5 characteristics that are encompassed in the general quality we call “grit”: courage, conscientiousness, endurance, resilience, and pursuit of excellence.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Grit is also often and more casually described as one’s ability to “stick to it”, and Duckworth asserts that it’s grit, more than talent or IQ, that allows individuals to succeed, achieve goals or dreams, and ultimately thrive.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb2e3278989722c01c44085/1631648380491-WNMMJE86KK708QIG3FJR/G%26G-8-LowRes.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Blog - Fortitude: Celebrating Your Grit - How do you cultivate grit and resilience?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Embracing a growth mindset is key, according to Angela Duckworth. You’ll note that courage is a key component of grit mentioned above, particularly as it pertains to failure.  One must have the fortitude to not be paralyzed by a potential failure, but rather to view missteps as intrinsic to the learning process. These mishaps and unsuccessful detours promote growth toward long-term goals and increase the flexibility that broadens one’s potential. Adopting this growth mindset promotes positivity and strength, which helps you overcome whatever challenges may lay in your path.</image:caption>

      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb2e3278989722c01c44085/1631651063831-CG99821A0F6CPIIS6C52/Merriwillow1.28-41.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Blog - Fortitude: Celebrating Your Grit - An additional key mindset in cultivating grit is the pursuit of excellence in place of perfection. Perfection is rarely attainable and an unrealistic goal, which can interfere with your ability to get back up, stick with something, or keep going once you’ve experienced an initial setback. Excellence, however, refers to an outstanding and valuable quality, which is a more forgiving goal that everyone can successfully manifest.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Another key activity for developing grit is stepping outside your comfort zone, which broadens your experiences and increases self-confidence. This may also help you find new interests, which in turn can renew your passion, help you develop a new goal, or realize a dream you’d like to pursue, all of which play heavily into developing grit.</image:caption>
    </image:image>

      <image:title>Blog - Fortitude: Celebrating Your Grit - It’s also extremely helpful to commit to a routine or practice. The more you’re able to “stick with” one specific thing, the more it will become a habit in all aspects of your life. At Grit &amp; Grace Studio, we’re also big proponents of writing and saying a mantra each week.</image:title>
      <image:caption>We believe there is enormous power in regularly channeling your thoughts into the written word. When you commit a dream to the written word, you commit to pursuing it: Dr. Gail Matthews found that you actually become 42% more likely to achieve your goals and dreams simply by writing them down regularly.  Finally, find your tribe! Surrounding yourself with a support network that practices optimism, has goals of their own, and can cheer you on will do wonders toward increasing your resilience and grit.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 26 Great Ideas for the Ultimate Charleston Wedding - Embrace the Architecture</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of Charleston’s most notable features is its stunning architecture. Charleston-style architecture dates back to the early 1700s and extended through the 1890s. While it shares some common threads with the French Colonial style of, say, New Orleans, Charleston single and double homes can only truly be found on the downtown peninsula. Work Charleston’s distinctive houses into your wedding details by adding illustrated buildings, porches, or ironwork to your menu cards or table markers for added elegance.  photo credit: Philip Casey Photography</image:caption>

The tradition dates back to the 16th century when the pineapple became all the rage among European royalty, who delighted in displaying the precious fruit on their tables as the ultimate status symbol. As time went on, the pineapple came to signify bountiful hospitality and a warm welcome, particularly in the Southeastern United States. Today, pineapple motifs can be found on the wrought iron fences, tile work, and door knockers of many of Charleston’s historic homes. We love the idea of incorporating pineapples into your wedding design, and it doesn’t get cuter than these real miniature pineapple boutonnieres by The Purple Magnolia!  credit: @faithteasley @bouquetsandbowtiescharleston</image:caption>

Still, this sweet saying has a dear place in our hearts, and it never fails to bring us joy. But have you ever wondered where this oft-repeated idiom comes from? Or what exactly it means? What if we told you this simple, encouraging saying was actually penned by one of history’s greatest playwrights? Join us as we delve into the history and meaning behind “The world is your oyster!” and learn why this message is our favorite to share with the world.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The World Is Your Oyster - William Shakespeare’s Merry Wives of Windsor</image:title>
      <image:caption>William Shakespeare, born in England in 1564, is widely considered to be the world’s greatest playwright and one of the best writers in the history of the English language. You probably read some of his masterpieces in high school or college, such as Othello, Hamlet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Macbeth, King Lear, and Romeo and Juliet (or at least watched a modern movie adaptation starring Leonardo DiCaprio).  This playwright, poet, author, and actor’s literary and cultural contributions have withstood the test of time, ranging from the popularity of sonnets and iambic pentameter to reshaping the course of comedy and drama. Shakespeare is also credited as a major influence on more modern literary masters like Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy, William Faulkner, and Herman Melville, among many others.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The World Is Your Oyster - While you may not realize it, you probably rattle off some Shakespeare yourself on a regular basis. Did you know that these common phrases were penned by the Bard himself?</image:title>
      <image:caption>“To be or not to be, that is the question.” (Hamlet)  “All the world’s a stage” (As You Like It) “All that glitters is not gold.” (The Merchant of Venice) “The better part of valour is discretion” (Henry IV) “But, for my part, it was Greek to me.” (Julius Caesar) “The world’s mine oyster.” (The Merry Wives of Windsor) That’s right! The contemporary saying “the world is your oyster” actually evolved from a line in Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor, first published in 1602.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The World Is Your Oyster - Tradition has it that this comedy was written at the request of Queen Elizabeth I, who wanted to see the recurring character Sir John Falstaff in love. Though The Merry Wives of Windsor is certainly not regarded as one of Shakespeare’s stronger works, it did feature a colorful exchange between Sir John Falstaff and another character named Pistol:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Falstaff: I will not lend thee a penny. Pistol: Why then the world’s mine oyster, Which I with sword will open. Falstaff: Not a penny.  The metaphor of opening an oyster with a sword is indeed a rich one, and interpretations of the original meaning are multifaceted, ranging from taking the fruits of life by force to perseverance eventually paying off with a life-altering reward, such a pearl! Like most contemporary idioms rooted in Shakespeare, “The world is your oyster” has evolved and has a more nuanced meaning for us today.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When someone says, “The world is your oyster,” it means they believe in you and that the possibilities are endless. You have the power and abilities you need to go anywhere and do anything, and all your dreams are within reach. It’s a statement of optimism, an endorsement of personal power, and a gesture of support and encouragement.  This popular idiom is commonly used to bolster confidence, celebrate a life move or transitional time, or give a vote of confidence, making it a popular sentiment for graduations, housewarmings, birthdays, and holidays.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Complete Guide to King Street Historic District in Charleston, SC - Pat Conroy once said, "There's no city on Earth quite like Charleston," and we wholeheartedly agree. Is there a better way to spend the day than wandering the cobblestone streets of the Holy City, soaking up the architecture, and ducking into storefronts?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our historic city comprises several neighborhoods, each with its own charms, hidden gems, and local secrets. We highlighted our favorite Cannonborough restaurants to celebrate the launch of the Grit &amp; Grace Cottage, and with the grand opening of our second location at 125 King Street only weeks away (woot!), we're diving into our new neighborhood: the King Street Historic District.  The King Street Historic District, also known as Lower King Street, spans the peninsula lengthwise from Calhoun Street to Broad Streets. St. Philip Street and Meeting Street define the outer edges of this bustling area, and the French Quarter and Harleston Village neighborhoods flank this beloved area.  We may be biased, but we can't think of a better part of Charleston in which to spend your day, night, or vacation. Join us as we take you through a few of our favorite haunts, eateries, attractions, and hotels in this picturesque and bustling neighborhood.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - World Calligraphy Day: 10 Gorgeous Customizable Gifts - We love when functionality meets art, which may explain our deeply rooted love of calligraphy. It gives us a little thrill to receive a beautifully crafted message or see our names written in a flowering script.</image:title>
      <image:caption>But, you may ask, what exactly is calligraphy? The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines calligraphy as artistic, stylized, or elegant handwriting or lettering, and Wikipedia more broadly states that calligraphy is a visual art related to writing. Calligraphy is practiced worldwide, and it dates back to ancient times when the written word was both scarce and sacred. When there are only one or two copies of a poem, decree, or script, it makes sense to create them as exquisite works of art!  Today, calligraphy lives on in wedding invitations, fonts, logo designs, commissioned inscriptions, and personalized gifts. As our in-house calligraphy team prepares to celebrate World Calligraphy Day on August 14, we’re delving into our favorite customizable gifts! Whether you’re on the hunt for the perfect birthday present or hostess gift, or even getting a head start on your holiday shopping… we’ve got just the thing with their name on it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - All about Mantras - Every week, our family of mermaids presses pause on painting oyster shells and handcrafting ocean-inspired gifts to set our intentions and create our Monday mantra, which you may have seen if you follow us on Instagram!</image:title>
      <image:caption>We gather over tea to catch up and chat about all things oyster-related, but these team meetings are about so much more than the ins and outs of running a small business. This is our time to strengthen our bonds, chart our course, and set our intentions for the week ahead.  Part of setting our intentions is crafting a weekly mantra to center us and focus our minds as we move through the world and pursue our goals. We believe that a heartfelt mantra is essential for mindfulness, grace, and creativity, so today in this post we'll answer all the questions you may have about crafting a personal mantra!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - All about Mantras - A mantra is a sacred word, phrase, poem, invocation, or utterance that is often used in meditation and, in some cultures, is believed to have religious or magical powers.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The use of mantras can be found around the globe in such religions and philosophical schools as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and the Japanese Shingon tradition. Similarly held and used hymns and chants can be found in Zoroastrianism, Taoism, and Christianity.  While the use and meaning of mantras may vary greatly across cultures, the repetition of a meaningful or sacred phrase is central to many forms of meditation to connect to a specific state of mind.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - All about Mantras - Clearly, the meaning of a mantra varies by the words or sounds it's composed of. For example, a meditative mantra can be as simple as "om" and used to cultivate mindfulness and achieve a certain vibration. A goal, hope, or prayer can also be a mantra that's used to guide you on your meditative journey.</image:title>
      <image:caption>At the core, however, each mantra gains power from its utterance. When you verbalize your beliefs or goals, you manifest them from your inner thoughts to the world at large.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - All about Mantras - If you choose to chant your mantra as part of your meditation, you may be pleased to know that scientific studies have found that chanting decreases stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.</image:title>
      <image:caption>It can also increase positive mood, feelings of relaxation, and focused attention, and it has even been shown to increase cerebral blood flow in areas of the brain known to deteriorate in Alzheimer's patients.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - All about Mantras - As you begin your mantra meditation, you may choose to begin with something as simple and powerful as the universal om as you cultivate mindfulness. You may opt for a powerful phrase, poem, or intention.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Tellis Pharmacy in the Charleston Historic District - Charleston’s beautiful streets and elegant architecture make our charming seaside town a favorite among tourists, and we love to explore the rich history behind some of our favorite buildings.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Today, we’re delving into the story behind one of lower King Street’s most recognizable storefronts and our soon-to-be new Flagship store location, the Tellis Pharmacy. We cannot wait to welcome you through the doors below that iconic vintage mortar and pestle sign. We intend to fill this space with light, love, laughter, and whimsy. The Grit &amp; Grace Family recently came together to bless our new space, burn some sage, and set our intentions. We covered the walls with heartfelt messages, inspirational quotes, words of wisdom, and one very meaningful quote by Jay-Z. It’s safe to say the Tellis Pharmacy is beginning to feel like home We have a lot of work yet to do before our grand opening, however, so we’ll start by taking you on a journey back in time.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Tellis Pharmacy in the Charleston Historic District - The building known so fondly today as the Tellis Pharmacy was built in 1887, one year after the great earthquake that shook Charleston to its core and destroyed some 2,000 buildings across the South.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Possibly for this reason, the Tellis Pharmacy is one of the few remaining Queen Anne Style wooden commercial buildings in Charleston, SC. While the neon mortar and pestle sign is one of the more Instagrammable aspects of the storefront, we’re smitten with the elaborate trim work, massive windows, and lovely detailing on the facade.  The first business to thrive at 125 King Street was Guillemine and Riley, a firm dealing in tinware and stoves. The Guillemine family lived upstairs above their storefront until it became the new location for Schwettmann's Pharmacy, previously located around the corner at King and Broad streets.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Tellis Pharmacy in the Charleston Historic District - James Anthony Tellis purchased 125 King Street in 1946, and turned the space into a soda fountain, pharmacy, and convenience store. The Tellis Pharmacy quickly became a neighborhood hub and beloved gathering place for locals. James Tellis’ children Vera and Tony graduated from the Medical College of the State of South Carolina, School of Pharmacy in 1952 and joined the family business.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vera and her sister Alice Tellis Critikos continued to operate the Tellis Pharmacy until 2012. "It was the most wonderful place in the whole world," said co-owner Alice Tellis Critikos. "It was so many people (sic) and children and families around here that this place was cluttered every minute of the day."</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Ways to Recycle Oyster Shells &amp;amp; Help Oyster Reef Restoration - The pandemic impacted so many aspects of everyday life. From your newfound love of hand sanitizer to repeatedly teaching your parents how to use Zoom to a permanent rotation between activewear and pajamas, a lot changed in 2020.</image:title>
      <image:caption>While the toilet paper shortage may have gotten the most press, shifting human behaviors also impacted another shortage: the oyster shell shortage. Oyster shell recycling programs depend almost entirely on collecting discarded oyster shells from restaurants to continue their oyster reef restoration projects, but with restaurant closures, many oyster farms began selling to the consumers directly.  Unfortunately, the majority of oyster lovers may still not be aware that recycling oyster shells is an option, let alone a necessity to restore clean water and protect our vulnerable coastlines. Far too many of those valuable oyster shells went into the garbage last year. The Oyster Recovery Partnership estimates their oyster shell collection was sliced in half from the previous year, and the Shell Recycling Alliance collected a mere 14,000 bushels compared to their usual 36,000 bushels. We’ve discussed the importance of oyster shell recycling in depth before, and today we’re zeroing in on 10 powerful ways you can help us turn the tide on our critical oyster shell shortage and restore our essential oyster reefs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Ways to Recycle Oyster Shells &amp;amp; Help Oyster Reef Restoration - Support Restaurants Who Recycle Oyster Shells</image:title>
      <image:caption>Heading out to happy hour? Give your favorite oyster bar a quick call to make sure they recycle their discarded oyster shells before you hit the town, and be sure to thank them for their efforts. If your watering hole of choice is a bit behind the times, encourage them to recycle their oyster shells and provide the manager with a list of local resources. Many coastal cities have grassroots and municipal oyster shell recycling programs (such as SCORE) available at little or no cost to the restaurant.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We’re absolutely wild for oysters at Grit &amp; Grace Studio, but only if they’re farm-raised. Did you know that more than 85% of the world’s oyster reefs have been destroyed? Disease, overfishing, and development are the main causation, but fortunately, 95% of the oysters we consume today are farm-raised through sustainable practices. Additionally, did you know that oyster farming is one of the only forms of aquaculture that actually improves the ocean through its process, leaving behind no harmful byproducts? We call that a win-win!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Ways to Recycle Oyster Shells &amp;amp; Help Oyster Reef Restoration - Spread Awareness About Oyster Shell Recycling</image:title>
      <image:caption>Many seafood lovers don’t realize there is an oyster shell shortage or that oyster shell recycling programs even exist. They also may not know that oyster spat (juvenile oysters) require a hard surface to attach to in order to complete their development, which is why returning quarantined shells back to our local waters is so essential to replenishing our oyster populations. Spreading awareness empowers consumers to make sustainable choices, so read all about oyster shell recycling and help us spread the word!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Ways to Recycle Oyster Shells &amp;amp; Help Oyster Reef Restoration - Don’t Chuck Your Shuck!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Oyster roasts are one of our favorite parts of Lowcountry living, but be sure to set aside a separate bin from your trash receptacle that’s specifically designated for discarded oyster shells! Once the last oyster has been shucked, you can drop your shells at your local oyster shell recycling center, a municipal drop-off center, or pre-arrange to have an oyster shell recycling organization pick them up that day.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Ways to Recycle Oyster Shells &amp;amp; Help Oyster Reef Restoration - Keep Your Trash Separate from Your Shells</image:title>
      <image:caption>This may seem like a simple or insignificant contribution to oyster recycling programs, but keeping your saltine wrappers, dirty napkins, and condiment containers separate from your discarded oyster shells can make a huge difference in the amount of time and energy devoted to oyster reef restoration. When trash, especially plastic trash, is introduced into the oyster recycling process, people must then double back and sort through the quarantining shells to remove all the waste. This can be both time-consuming and require a lot of manpower to execute successfully.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Ways to Recycle Oyster Shells &amp;amp; Help Oyster Reef Restoration - Volunteer to Sort Oyster Shells</image:title>
      <image:caption>Recycling oyster shells can require an ocean of love, as we know so well thanks to our in-house shell recycling program! Once the shells are collected, they need to be quarantined before they can be safely returned to our local waters and ecosystems. It’s during this quarantine period that volunteers or employees will sort through the shell to remove any trash that accidentally slipped into the bin with the shells at the restaurant or oyster roast. Removing the plastic packaging, dirty napkins, stray plastic cups, and accidentally tossed oyster knives requires a lot of manpower, and this is a great way to volunteer with your fellow ocean-lovers. Don’t forget to wear sturdy, close-toed shoes or work boots that you’re comfortable getting dirty!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Ways to Recycle Oyster Shells &amp;amp; Help Oyster Reef Restoration - Help Bag Oyster Shells</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ready to save the planet and get a solid workout? Volunteer to help bag recycled oyster shells! While the containment method may vary by oyster reef restoration project, it takes a lot of energy to shovel those shells into the bags or crates that will be returned to fragile ecosystems. These artificial reefs will provide a hard substrate for free-swimming juvenile oysters to attach to as their new home, helping to replenish wild oyster populations. Your local department of natural resources likely has organized volunteer days, such as those organized by SCDNR.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We bet you had no idea how many steps are involved in oyster shell recycling and oyster reef restoration! Once the bags or crates are loaded up, they have to be hauled out to the marsh or chosen waterway in the final phase of reef-building. This is another very physically demanding way to volunteer. Grab your CrossFit crew or barre babes and hit the coast for a day of giving back (without throwing out your back).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Gratitude - “A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>We strive to live by these words, so much that they are a core part of Grit &amp; Grace Studio’s Manifesto. During our weekly meetings, the Grit &amp; Grace family comes together to set our intentions both as individuals and as a team to move through the world with grace, grit, gratitude, and love.  We believe that when you choose gratitude, the world opens up before you. Your life experience becomes richer, more fulfilling, and filled with magic, and you become empowered to chase after your dreams.  Gratitude is not a momentary feeling, however, but a practice to be maintained and nurtured continually over time. Whether you're refreshing or expanding your current gratitude practice or just beginning your first gratitude meditation, we're sharing our favorite tips and thoughts on cultivating a grateful heart.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Gratitude - Let’s start with the basics. What is gratitude? According to the Harvard Medical School, “Gratitude is a thankful appreciation for what an individual receives, whether tangible or intangible. With gratitude, people acknowledge the goodness in their lives.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>Focusing on the positive things and sources of joy in your life leads to feelings of fulfillment and increased mindfulness, thus leading to a better quality of life. It becomes a beautiful feedback cycle: “In positive psychology research, gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships.” Expressions of gratitude often improve friendships, working relationships, and familial bonds. A simple expression of thanks can make those around you feel appreciated and seen, which can completely change the energy of an interaction. As you lean into grace and count your blessings, you may also experience reduced stress, decreased depression and anxiety, and better mental health and physical wellness.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Gratitude - Maintain a Daily Gratitude List</image:title>
      <image:caption>There is enormous power in channeling your thoughts into the written word. Dr. Gail Matthews, a psychology professor at the Dominican University in California, found that you actually become 42% more likely to achieve your goals and dreams, simply by writing them down on a regular basis. When you begin your gratitude practice, a written gratitude list helps you to connect deeply to the joyous moments in your day and solidify your commitment to leading a more gracious life. Jot down life’s beautiful moments in a Sugarboo Mini Leather Journal as you move through your day. The Mini Leather Journal measures 6” by 4” (perfectly sized for a purse or glove box) and features an embossed motivational quote. $30</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Gratitude - Say Thank You</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Thank you,” is one of the most powerful phrases in the English language, and an expression of gratitude or token of thanks is deeply appreciated in any culture across the globe. When you take a moment to say thanks, leave a handwritten card, or send a thank you gift, you consciously recognize the goodness in another person and lay the foundation for a positive and appreciative relationship. Next time you’re feeling grateful for one of the pearls in your life, surprise them with a curated gift basket as an elegant thank you. From $60</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Gratitude - Try Gratitude Meditation</image:title>
      <image:caption>Gratitude and mindfulness actually go hand in hand. The more you focus on the little things and the sources of joy in your life, the more you’ll find yourself consciously engaging with your surroundings and existing in the moment. A grateful attitude hinges on being present, so consider making a gratitude practice part of your daily routine. Create a peaceful environment by choosing a quiet space and lighting a Los Poblanos Lavender Candle. Cleanse your energy with an artisan-crafted Sage Smudge Stick before calming your mind and taking stock of all the blessings in your life. $26</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Gratitude - Engage Your Senses</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you struggle with living in the moment or your meditation practice, try to engage your senses. As you become aware of the smells, textures,  and sounds around you, the stresses and chatter from our daily lives begin to fall away to allow you to focus on the present and cultivate a state of mindfulness. Aromatherapy can be essential for calming the mind and engaging the senses, especially when you use lavender. Multiple studies have verified lavender’s calming effects on anxiety and ability to boost your mood, so treat yourself to some Los Poblanos Lavender Lotion, Lavender Skin Care Oil, or Lavender Mist. From $13</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Gratitude - Choose a Gratitude Mantra</image:title>
      <image:caption>So, what’s a mantra? A mantra is a sacred utterance believed to have spiritual power. Repeating a mantra or affirmation is believed to keep you connected to a particular state of mind, in this case, gratitude. Choose a mantra that inspires you, grounds your gratitude practice, or helps you embrace an area of your life in which you’re struggling to see your blessings. Then, say your mantra as you move through your day or use a Mala Mantra Necklace during your gratitude meditation to stay centered.  The Mala Mantra Necklace pays homage to Buddhist prayer beads, and it features the sacred 108 beads with a sumeru pendant. This intentional necklace features an 18-inch chain and 4-inch agate and tassel sumeru; choose between the Matte Pink &amp; Jasper Mala Mantra Necklace with an Agate Pendant or the Brass &amp; Amazonite Mala Mantra Necklace with Pearls. $108</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Gratitude - Wear Your Grateful Heart on Your Sleeve</image:title>
      <image:caption>The more you practice gratitude, you’ll find it becomes less of a conscious activity and more of a way of life. Celebrate your blessings and remind yourself and others of the importance of gratitude with a sweet, simple token. Choose something that you can easily integrate into your daily routine and that will catch your eye as you move through the world, like our Mantra Bracelets or Mantra Cuffs. These minimalist pieces are embossed with motivational phrases, such as “Love My Tribe” and “You’ll Never Know Dear How Much I Love You”.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Happy Father’s Day - We’re giving a heartfelt shout-out to all the dads out there.</image:title>
      <image:caption>From our first memories riding high atop dad’s shoulders to watching our friends and brothers become fathers for the first time, we are in awe of all those dudes working overtime to earn the sacred title, “World’s Greatest Dad.”  We see you armed with wipes and bravely changing that diaper for the very first time. We appreciate you accidentally sacrificing your eyebrows in the name of lighting that backyard BBQ. We’ll also never forget all the wise words of advice, the loving shoulder to cry on, and the endless patience we’ve experienced throughout the years. Our lives have been irreparably changed and enhanced by our experiences with our pops, godfathers, grandpas, stepdads, and beloved father figures. We want to share just a few of our favorite memories with some of the dads out there. From the Grit &amp; Grace Studio Family to yours, may you have a wonderful Father’s Day!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My daddy is a character, and I have many memorable moments with him. A few of my favorites include him cheering me on from the sidelines, bellowing, “GO PUNKIN’” from the top of his burly lungs, and texting me every. single. morning, “Good morning Punkin, I love you,” and watching him being an adoring grandfather to four littles. He is a sweet man with a big ole heart, and I’m grateful to call Danny Roland Gordon, my father.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>One of my favorite memories of my dad and me is when we drove to Jupiter, Florida on a family vacation. After hours of driving, we arrived in Jupiter and immediately went to the beach to enjoy the sunset. As soon as we got to the beach, we were surprised to see tons of baby turtles making their journey to the ocean for the first time. My dad and I were so stoked to see this with our own eyes. We worked to keep the seagulls away from the baby turtles, and we ended up ensuring that they all made it safely. It was so cool.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My dad is the backbone of our family in so many ways. He carries the weight of every crisis, and he takes care of everyone, including extended family, family friends, and even the guys who happen to be working on the house or yard. He also works a lot (like, A LOT), so since I was little, we've always made a point to have daddy-daughter date nights just the two of us for some quality time. We get dressed up and go to a restaurant and order all the decadent, unhealthy things my mom doesn't let us eat at home. Today, the tradition continues. My pops takes my two nieces out for granddaddy-daughter date nights... and I hope they're also secretly splitting that chocolate lava cake.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My dad Peter Henley, is an artist, heart and soul. One of my favorite memories of growing up with my dad has to be watching him gather and organize his painting supplies. He used art as an outlet, an expression of his joy, and how he saw the world on canvas. One of my favorite jobs was helping him mix his paints together and watching them change from one color to the next. From an early age, I knew I wanted to learn all I could from him. He is kind, creative, fierce, giving, and has shown me the beauty in honing a craft and working hard. Love you, Dad.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Amazing Shades for Your Something Blue - Every bride knows Lady Luck is the real MVP of your wedding.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Weddings are gorgeous, heartwarming events, but there is so much that goes into the planning, the details, and the decor… and a lot that can go wrong. From a tipsy maid of honor with a microphone (girl, put that thing DOWN) to wedding crashers or an unwelcome last-minute weather report, there are plenty of snafus we’d all rather not catalog in the wedding album.  This is undoubtedly why good luck rituals remain some of the most popular wedding traditions! While burying a bottle of bourbon may allegedly ensure sunny skies, it won’t do much to safeguard against your groom’s signature college dance moves.  When it comes to courting good luck, we’re sticking to the long-standing poem: “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, a sixpence in your shoe.” We love a “something blue” bridal accessory or gift for the bride-to-be as a sweet, thoughtful way to express well wishes, and there are so many creative ways to incorporate something blue into the wedding day. There are also a multitude of gorgeous shades of blue to choose from! Today, we’re diving into all things blue, from rich shades of ocean to delicate dusty blues.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How Do Oysters Make Pearls? - One of our favorite sayings at Grit &amp; Grace Studio is “No grit, no pearl!” We embrace the message of hard work and perseverance, but we also love the reminder of how one of our favorite gemstones (though it is technically not a stone!) came to be.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Have you ever thought about where pearls come from? If your answer was “my partner” or the jewelry store, we salute you. If you’re wondering where pearls came from before that precious tiny gift box, however, we have crafted an informative, in-depth blog post on the history, meaning, and process by which oysters make pearls - and it is truly awe-inspiring.  We believe there is so much to be learned from our favorite little mollusks, and we hope you find answers, inspiration, and maybe even a new signature piece of handcrafted pearl jewelry in the post below!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How Do Oysters Make Pearls? - The history of humanity’s love for pearls stretches so far back, we can’t quite say for sure when it started. Likely, people became enamored with pearls more than 164,000 years ago, when archaeologists believe man first began eating oysters.</image:title>
      <image:caption>What we do know for sure about the history of pearls is that Cleopatra once crushed and then drank a pearl earring during a dinner with Marc Anthony (name a more boss babe party trick; we’ll wait). Both the Koran and the Bible mention the value of pearls, the Chinese hunted for saltwater pearls extensively during the Han Dynasty (206 B.C. - 220 A.D), and decorative mother-of-pearl was used at least as far back as 4200 B.C. in Egypt. And, apparently, upholstering your sofa with pearls was all the rage among first-century Romans, though we have to imagine their guests might have departed with a bit of a limp.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How Do Oysters Make Pearls? - The insatiable demand for these lustrous gems led to the game-changing moment in the history of pearls: the development of the cultured pearl industry, though there’s a bit of a debate about who won the race to create the first cultured pearl.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Some will argue British Biologist William Saville-Kent in Australia discovered the method of creating cultured pearls, and it was brought to Japan by Tokichi Nishikawa and Tatsuhei Mise, but other sources hold that Japanese entrepreneur Mikimoto Kōkichi invented the cultured pearl. Either way, it was Mikimoto who hit the ground running with use of the patent to create the beginnings of the cultured pearl industry we know and love today.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How Do Oysters Make Pearls? - Firstly, did you know that mollusks other than oysters make pearls? While we mostly credit the oyster with pearl production, both saltwater and freshwater mollusks can create pearls. Oysters, mussels, abalones, conchs, pen shells, and whelks all produce pearls, and those precious gems range in shape and color.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ayoka pearls, the ones made so famous by Mikimoto Kōkichi, are the classic white or cream, perfectly round, high luster pearls we know and love so much. The Tahitian pearl, which was first cultured in the 1970s, boasts a variety of subtle gray, green, or purple hues. South Sea pearls, the largest of cultured pearls, are available in shades ranging from cream to orange, and freshwater pearls are available in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How Do Oysters Make Pearls? - No matter their mollusk of origin or whether they’re natural or cultivated pearls, all pearls come about the same way: an irritant, whether a piece of grit, food, or foreign body, slips between the hard outer shell of the mollusk and mantle, the protective layer that covers the mollusk’s organs. To protect itself, the oyster encapsulates the intruder with a protective layer of nacre.</image:title>
      <image:caption>What’s nacre? Nacre is a mineral substance that’s a component of the mollusk’s shell; it’s also known as mother-of-pearl, which is in and of itself a prized product. The oyster will continue to add layer upon layer of nacre around the piece of grit until it makes a pearl! Thus, you’ve discovered the origin of our favorite saying, “No grit, no pearl!”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How Do Oysters Make Pearls? - Prior to the arrival of the cultured pearl industry, pearls were so rare that they were worn almost exclusively by royalty and nobility, making them the ultimate symbol of wealth and prosperity.</image:title>
      <image:caption>As time went on and pearls became more accessible, they became a symbol of classic beauty and purity, and a traditional gift for a bride or bride-to-be.  People have also long held the meaning of pearls to be perfection, incorruptibility, longevity, and fertility. Finally, pearls are often revered as a symbol of wisdom gained through experience, integrity, and loyalty.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Importance of Self-care - Last year was so impactful in so many ways, and one of the pearls to arise from the grit required to ride out those storms has been our renewed focus on wellness. Wellness is vital to not just surviving but thriving, and we believe personal wellness is the foundation that allows us to be the change we want to see in the world.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Wellness can mean a number of different things: the state of one’s physical self, the health of your spiritual self, and the status of your creative center. Self-care is an important part of any wellness regimen, whether that’s a yoga class and guided meditation or eating ice cream straight from the pint with a spoon while standing in the freezer (we’ve done both in the last year; this is a judgment-free zone).  Today we’re taking a moment to focus on self-care. We’re delving into what it means to center yourself in wellness and the different forms that can take, and we’re excited to share some of our favorite ways to recharge and indulge.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Importance of Self-care - Self-care is the mindful exercise of taking care of yourself, examining your needs, and leaning into practices that sustain you and provide a restful, healing space.</image:title>
      <image:caption>While self-care may lead to self-improvement, it’s also important not to confuse the two. Self-improvement often stems from a perfectionist mindset, but “self-care is different because it’s about allowing yourself to have a nurturing experience of life right now,” according to self-care coach Gracy Obuchowicz.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Importance of Self-care - We love the idea of picking one day of the week to celebrate and nurture you. The hustle and bustle of modern life can leave everyone feeling spread thin, struggling to multitask, and pulled in 15 different directions at once. Too often, at the end of the day, the unchecked item on your to-do list is, well, you.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Self-care Sunday has a playful ring to it, but frankly, the objective is simply to start a consistent, regular self-care routine. Maybe that means setting aside an entire day each week to relax, unwind, and reconnect, or maybe for you, that means reserving an hour for meditation, a pampering bath, or enjoying a sage smudge stick while reading an inspirational book. Sunday is a popular day for self-care to recharge before the workweek, and the “when” is less important than that you make time for yourself.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Importance of Self-care - Some of our favorite ways to indulge in some much-needed self-care are yoga, meditation, tea, and reconnecting with nature, but it’s hard to go wrong with a luxurious candlelit bath, some lavender mist and an evening gratitude journaling, or a long walk on the beach.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Toadfish - Did you know South Carolina has a critical shortage of oyster shells? Americans consume an estimated 2.5 billion oysters each year, but only a fraction of that shell returns to our coastlines. Recycled oyster shells are essential for replenishing existing wild oyster populations, restoring oyster reefs, and maintaining the health of our oceans. A single adult oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water each day, dramatically improving water quality, reducing sediment, and removing excess nitrogen, which is the cause of harmful algal blooms.</image:title>
      <image:caption>As a small company with an in-house oyster shell recycling program, we’re all about oyster recycling advocacy and education. (Did you miss our comprehensive blog post, Oyster Shell Recycling: From Oysters Rockefeller to Oyster Reef Restoration?) When it comes to oyster reef restoration, Casey Davidson, the founder of Toadfish, is a huge inspiration to us at Grit &amp; Grace Studio. Toadfish is a South Carolina lifestyle brand that celebrates all the finer aspects of Lowcountry living. Whether your passion is fishing, paddling, cooking, or boating (or maybe just enjoying an unspillable beverage on a boat), Toadfish products strive to help you live your best life on the water while protecting the oceans and restoring water quality. Through Toadfish’s Put ‘Em Back oyster recycling movement, they have been able to plant more than 150,342 square feet of oyster beds.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Toadfish - I have been interested in conservation since I was a kid. I’m a 12th or 14th generation from the Lowcountry, the Beaufort area originally. Although my folks wouldn’t call themselves conservationists, my uncles were crabbers and shrimpers when I was growing up, and when I went fishing with my grandfather, my dad, and my great grandfather, they always preached not to take more than you need.</image:title>
      <image:caption>As I got into college, I started to dive into that more. My passion is fishing and being on the water, and I interned with the Coastal Conservation Association in Columbia. CCA Director Scott Whitaker said to me, “We’re working on this finfish legislation. Do you know the number one reason for fish mortality?” I said, “No, what’s that?” He said, “It’s water quality.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Toadfish - That really got my wheels turning because you’d think it was commercial fishing or something like that. I was studying to become an environmental attorney to go after polluters in court, but I took a little bit of a different path and, through that journey, I discovered how important the oyster is for filtering the water.</image:title>
      <image:caption>When I decided to start my own business, I knew I wanted to start a brand that replanted oysters to help clean the water. I knew what the brand concept was for Toadfish before I knew what products we were going to make, and I knew it would be called Toadfish.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Toadfish - I came up with it when I was goofing off in high school with my brother. We were making fun of all the people making redfish and tarpon belts and this fratty stuff, and we were like, “We should do a toadfish brand because if you’re not actually an angler, you don’t know what a toadfish is.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>And it fit with what I ultimately wanted to do with conservation because the toadfish depends on the oyster bed for survival. They live down there and ambush predators; the toadfish is just a gnarly little fish I found interesting.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Toadfish - I’m proud of how much we’ve been able to give. That’s how we measure our business: how much are we able to give back. We’ve done oyster reef restoration projects in 8 coastal states now. Our goal is to plant oysters in every coastal state in North America.</image:title>
      <image:caption>My personal life goal for conservation is a statewide oyster shell recycling program for the state of South Carolina, where we pick up from restaurants and put back more shells than we take out annually. I want South Carolina to be a role model of how oyster shell recycling could be. I think we can achieve that and establish a beacon of hope for all the other states.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Toadfish - My grandmother, to be honest. She wouldn’t tell you she’s a conservationist, but she’ll run a sink full of water to wash dishes and then take a bucket to bail the water out to water her plants and stuff.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I don’t think it’s anything she’s consciously doing, it’s just the way she lives her life, and that’s really cool.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Grit &amp;amp; Grace Studio Sustainability Practices - Call us tree huggers, ocean activists, green goddesses, earth mamas, or even a little granola; we’re here for Mother Earth, loud and proud!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Since our creation, Grit &amp; Grace Studio has been rooted in sustainability. Our founder Rachel Gordon hails from a background in slow fashion, and it’s always been Rachel’s priority to grow our design house in a green, sustainable, and conscientious way.  The seed was planted when she learned of the oyster shell recycling crisis, and Grit &amp; Grace Studio was born shortly thereafter. And while we’re most vocal about our love of oysters, our in-house oyster shell recycling program, and our oyster reef restoration efforts, did you know that’s actually just the tip of the iceberg? As it says in the Grit &amp; Grace Studio Manifesto, we believe that every day is Earth Day!  From our volunteer efforts to our conscientious product development, all the way down to our toilet paper choices (no, we’re not kidding), sustainable business practices and conscious shopping are the heart and soul of our ship.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Sustainability and accountability go hand in hand at Grit &amp; Grace Studio. In the office, we strive to reduce our waste by providing employees with reusable cutlery, plates, glasses, and a water cooler. We also exclusively use bathroom and kitchen supplies made from recycled paper. This approach extends to our community, too, and we’re proud to have donated to Real Champions, Inc, Kickin’ Cancer 4 Kids, the Warrior Surf Foundation, JDRF Hope Gala Auction, Spoleto, and Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Annual Students of the Year Campaign. We are also thrilled to announce that as of 2021, we are now Sea Turtle Guardians through the South Carolina Aquarium!  Finally, each week we gather our Grit &amp; Grace family to choose what we are going to experience that week, and choosing to “be the light” for our community is always at the heart of our studio.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We're so proud of our team of oyster recycling advocates, and we also realize how much work there is to be done. With Earth Day on the horizon, we want to spotlight some of Charleston's incredible non-profit organizations and the work they do daily to help save our seas and protect Mother Earth.  This is by no means a comprehensive list, and it gives us so much hope to see how many other amazing, hardworking individuals, companies, and Charleston nonprofits share our environmental goals.  These incredible organizations work tirelessly to improve our communities, rehabilitate wildlife, provide clean water, and protect our diverse and fragile habitats. Their work ensures that the beautiful place we call home will continue to flourish and sustain life for generations to come. As you celebrate Earth Day, we encourage you to support these remarkable environmental non-profit organizations in Charleston, SC. We’re stronger together, and we hope you'll join us to conserve and protect this magnificent coast.</image:caption>

Charleston Surfrider works to convert local restaurants to ocean-friendly practices and to design gardens that both filter pollution and sequester carbon. They’re also the local headliner of the international and cleverly named “Hold On To Your Butt” campaign to address cigarette litter.

      <image:title>Blog - Celebrating the Spring Equinox - As we leave the darkness of winter in our wake, we are so excited to celebrate this year’s spring equinox on March 20, also known as the vernal equinox.</image:title>
      <image:caption>What’s the spring equinox, you ask? Equinoxes are the planetary phenomena that occur when the sun’s center aligns directly above the equator, typically around March 20 and September 23. Sound a little confusing or crunchy? We’ve got you. Put more simply, the vernal equinox marks the beginning of spring, the end of winter, and that beautiful tipping point when the length of our days and nights are at long last equal. Between the equinox and the summer solstice, we gain more and more daylight hours, which translates to more beach time, boat days, and surfside yoga here at Grit &amp; Grace. One of our most dear mantras for this year is “be the light”, as inspired by National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman, so this particular spring equinox feels even more significant, bright, and hopeful.  Join us as we celebrate the spring equinox, and let’s step forward together into the sunshine!</image:caption>

Soak up the balance of the spring equinox and look to the brighter days ahead with a long, therapeutic stroll on the beach - and don’t forget to toss your towel, sunscreen, and shades in your Renewable Fiber Beach Tote.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A rising tide lifts all boats, so celebrate the spring equinox by paying forward a few random acts of kindness. You’ll be amazed at how impactful a kind gesture can be. If you missed our Instagram stories for World Kindness Day, we can’t recommend “flower bombing” loved ones and strangers enough. A simple bundle of blooms tied up with brown paper and string (especially when they’re from our loves at Salt + Stem) can sow the seeds for a better, brighter tomorrow filled with sunshine and smiles.</image:caption>

Embrace this turning of the tide and the return of spring by planting a garden, some herbs, supporting a community garden, or even throwing out a few seed bombs and seeing what happens (this last one is for all y’all with the black thumbs). The spring equinox is a moment of centered balance before an immense period of growth, and watching Mother Nature do her thang is a fabulous celebration, in and of itself.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Randi Weinstein - Michelle Obama once said, “There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>As a woman-owned business staffed with more than a dozen ladies, we believe this whole-heartedly. We strive to push beyond boundaries daily, but, more importantly, we deeply believe in women supporting women. Randi Weinstein inspires us daily with her strong feminist words, but Randi also walks the walk. This powerhouse lady is the founder of FAB, a series of educational and inspirational workshops created by women for women in the hospitality industry. During FAB, some of the greatest forces in the hospitality industry come together for an honest, compassionate, and unfiltered meeting of the minds. Anyone who has attended FAB will testify to the incredible positive energy, the powerful bonds of sisterhood forged, and the inspiring way the speakers and attendees lift each other up. Never before have women in hospitality faced such a challenging year. We’re excited to feature Randi Weinstein in our International Women’s Day edition of Walking with Grace, as she discusses the landscape of feminism today, her hope for the future, and how to support women in hospitality as we ride out these waves. all photos in this post courtesy Reese Moore Photography</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Randi Weinstein - FAB is almost a continuation of a series of events called Bad Bitches that I coordinated with two other women. The intent was to showcase women’s ride in the hospitality community through the decades, beginning with the ’50s to the present.</image:title>
      <image:caption>We raised over $50K in scholarship money to give out to those applying to further their career. Those ranged from opportunities to attend culinary school, chocolate-making classes, creating a podcast, organic gardening, and sommelier certifications at various levels.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Randi Weinstein - That is so hard, to be honest. My mother for one. She was a force and always pushing the envelope.</image:title>
      <image:caption>In my time with FAB, I feel that I have found so many women that could be included in the answer to that question. Martha Hoover is a force of nature, and I admire her business acumen and that she speaks what’s on her mind. Kutina Ruhumbika, the HR director for Major Food Group, is also pretty incredible as she is so giving of herself on top of the enormous job she holds.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Randi Weinstein - Ask how you can help, what they need, and actually go through with helping someone. You can’t say, ”let me know if I can help,” make it more actionable. Support womxn-owned businesses as much as possible.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Randi Weinstein - My hope is that this industry does not continue to lose womxn because of trying to balance family and life.</image:title>
      <image:caption>During Covid, we have seen a tremendous loss of womxn in the industry, and there is no backup plan to support working moms through these times. I hope future generations look at life much differently and understand the need to look at the broader picture and not work people to death, to pay honest, fair, living wages, provide insurance, and make this the dignified industry of choice to work.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 18 Best Charleston Beach Wedding Venues - "So, where are you getting married?" This is pretty much the first question everyone asks a bride-to-be, right after "Congratulations!" and "Show me the ring."</image:title>
      <image:caption>And, if you're anything like our family of beach babes, you probably can't imagine anything as romantic and breathtaking as having your big day against an epic backdrop of surf and sand.

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Daniella Motley - Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote, “The earth laughs in flowers.” We wholeheartedly believe this, and no one makes us smile like our sweet friend Daniella Motley. Dani is the brilliant, whimsical mind behind Salt + Stem, Charleston’s resident wandering flower truck.</image:title>
      <image:caption>You can regularly find Salt + Stem's vintage white truck filled with flowers at pop-ups, wine bars, yoga studios, and markets across the Lowcountry. When Dani is not encouraging her fellow wanderers to experiment with making their own bouquets, she's busy delivering flowers, designing wedding florals, making stunning dried arrangements, and spreading sunshine. Salt + Stem fills our studio with vibrant, beautiful blooms and our hearts with joy, and we're so grateful to Dani for joining us for today's Walking with Grace profile. Pour some tea, kick off those shoes, and join us in wandering among the flowers.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Daniella Motley - Salt + Stem actually grew from a sad place. After my Dad passed away, I took a survey of my life. While I was doing great at checking all the boxes (great relationship, great job, corporate ladder climbing) I wanted to find something I could pour my creative passion into. I wanted to feel life more fully instead of going through the motions. Salt + Stem has helped me to do that.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am proud of what we have created. I hope that I can help others bring a little bit of mindfulness to their day and awareness of the things that make them happy by encouraging them to stop at a Vintage Ford on the side of the road to smell the flowers, to buy the flowers for themselves or a loved one, to enjoy a little moment outside of the continual box-checking that life can be.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Daniella Motley - In the same vein, I love working with other small businesses and local charleston brands - entrepreneurs who are chasing and building their dreams. Charleston has an amazing community of small business owners who are supportive, creative, and successful. It is inspiring to watch and to be a part of. One of the greatest pleasures of Salt + Stem has been collaborating with other inspiring and impactful brands here in Charleston.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Daniella Motley - To always be willing to go along for the ride, to say "yes" even if you don't know what is on the other side of the yes.</image:title>
      <image:caption>To love this community and love spending time in different areas of it, to find value in the little pleasures that life has to offer. Emerson said, "Flowers are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities in the world" If you are a wanderer, I believe that would also ring true for you.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Daniella Motley - Virginia is an F100 short-bed; she has a white and cream two-tone paint job and was rebuilt in Summerville. When you drive an old vehicle, it feels like you are driving a piece of history. It lacks all of the modern conveniences, so you are much more aware of the world around you and the act of driving. So, for me, driving her from place to place encourages another space of mindfulness and attention to what I am doing now.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The smell of oil and gasoline reminds me of my father and grandfathers. Memories of being in their garages as they tinker and pour love into their favorite vehicles. The combined smell of metal, oil, and gasoline gives me an immediate sense of nostalgia and warmth.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Daniella Motley - I was a floral newbie, so I have had a crash course in all things flower related. While I've always loved flowers and have always given them as gifts, I have learned so much about this industry since starting in 2019, more lessons than I can name.</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of my biggest takeaways is that I am very lucky to work in Charleston; here, I have found the industry leaders to be kind, willing to help, and embracive.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Keep an eye out for Grit &amp; Grace Studio as you jet off to your next dream vacation! We are still giddy to have been featured not once but twice on the cover of American Way, American Airlines’ magazine. We loved taking the time to highlight some of our Charleston favorites, including delicious tapas at Malagón, retail heaven Ro Sham Beaux, Candlefish’s artisan creations, and all the buttery goodness at Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Grit &amp;amp; Grace Studio 2020 Recap - New Green Initiatives</image:title>
      <image:caption>Grit &amp; Grace Studio is proud to have added even more green initiatives to our existing in-house oyster recycling program during this last year. In addition to collecting and recycling oyster shells from Charleston area restaurants and integrating them into local oyster reef restoration efforts, we regularly volunteered with SCDNR to sort litter from the oyster recycling stores and partnered with Surfrider for coastal cleanups. Finally, we are thrilled to have integrated composting into our studio workflow.</image:caption>

We also gave back through donations to the Warrior Surf Foundation raffle, Real Champions, Inc., the Kickin' Cancer 4 Kids auction, the JDRF Hope Gala Auction, Spoleto's Charleston welcome baskets, and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Annual Students of the Year Campaign.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Jessica Rueger - We recently shared our first inspiring and transformational Mala Workshop, a beautiful afternoon filled with creativity, positivity, sisterhood, and setting intentions. Today we’re taking a moment to highlight the woman who helped lead and structure that inaugural experience.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Jessica Rueger is a self-mastery coach and wedding officiant based in Charleston, SC. Her work centers around helping her clients break existing patterns and harness their potential, and Jessica has become a regular in the Grit &amp; Grace Studio Flagship, directly team-building exercises and most recently leading the beautiful, inspiring Blessed Way ceremony for our sweet Gail as she stepped into her maternity leave. As we approach a new year, a refreshed perspective, and better, brighter days ahead, we’re taking a moment to connect with and highlight Jessica in the next installment of our Walking with Grace series.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Jessica Rueger - A life coach is someone who teaches you to hold yourself accountable for your choices while expertly showing you the ways you’re unconsciously limiting yourself from creating the very experiences you truly want to be having in all aspects of your life.</image:title>
      <image:caption>As a life coach, I show you that you are, in fact, a powerful creator. I support you as you move beyond the limiting beliefs that have, until now, hijacked your focus and your energy and caused you to create your life as it currently is. I teach you the way to take full responsibility for creating the experiences you want.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Jessica Rueger - The beginning of my coaching journey happened very organically after I began to experience incredible results working with a mentor.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This experience sparked a deep desire within me to share these infinite benefits with others.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Jessica Rueger - Like many of us, who are new to something and yet to have the benefit of what only experience can bring, I struggled with imposter syndrome until I heard Eckhart Tolle share the following in Practicing Presence, “You will never be ready to be a teacher, and you don’t have to be ready to be a teacher.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>That was precisely what I needed to hear to commit to a rewarding career as a creative mastery life coach. And like magic, my first client asked me to become her teacher.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Jessica Rueger - Self-mastery is a lifelong, moment-to-moment pursuit of increasing your ability to recognize and be willing to accept all aspects of yourself, from the most unconscious dysfunctional behaviors (that we all possess) to the absolute brilliant genius that is within us all.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Mastery opens you to access your inherent ability to hold multiple perceptions objectively. The way of mastery develops disciplined imagination, determination for clear vision, faith in your intuition, and willingness to take action to create your reality without needing anything externally to exist or cease to exist.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Jessica Rueger - My favorite thing about coaching is witnessing my clients' results every time they apply what they are learning. Nothing is greater than to watch them transform from living a primarily ego-centric lifestyle to living from their true heart's calling. I have seen my clients who do the work thrive even during a year like this one as a result of their commitment to creating powerfully.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I also love the ways coaching serves me to maintain a higher vibration while being of service to others. I truly have the best job ever!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>And annually, I do take (myself and) my clients through an exercise to take an accurate look at what was intended to be and actually created, tolerated, learned, what didn’t and did work. From here, we focus and expand on what did work and make intentions, or choices, as I refer to them, for the coming year. People that work with me learn that they don’t need to waste any more energy trying to figure out “how” to get what they want. They learn that they don’t need to know, and that they will know what what they need to know moment they need to know and act on it.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Y’all, what a year. What a year filled with trials and triumphs, with constant twists and turns, and with incredible, unbelievable blessings.  My heart is so filled with gratitude for the amazing crew aboard the Grit &amp; Grace ship, our loyal customers who continue to shop small, and for our lovely, resilient wholesale patrons, who support us and share the Grit &amp; Grace message around the coast. Not only have we navigated the ever-changing waters of 2020, but we’ve rendered pearls from this year’s challenges! We added new team members, created beautiful new products, and celebrated the addition of the Grit &amp; Grace Cottage. We could not do it without you. In our gratitude, we are welcoming you behind the scenes, into the studio, and our hearts in this blog post.  From our family to yours, Happy Holidays. Rachel</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Introducing the Mala Workshop - We are so incredibly excited to share our newest endeavor with you all: the Mala Workshop.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our best-selling Mala Mantra Necklaces have long been a favorite of the Grit &amp; Grace Studio team not only because of the distinctive beauty inherent in their design but because we so love the process of creating these intentional pieces. The Mala Mantra Necklace pays tribute to Buddhist prayer beads, which are spiritual tools to help calm the mind, connect to one’s center, and focus on intentions during meditation. Each Mala Necklace consists of 108 beads to use as a tool in reciting your mantra and a Sumeru or "summit" bead to remind you of the purpose of your practice. We have cultivated a workshop centered around the meditative, intentional process of creating these works of art and the bonds of sisterhood and family. Our team gathered in the beautiful Grit &amp; Grace Studio Flagship for an afternoon marked by open hearts, welcoming prayers, peaceful music, a tea service, and stunning beads. Each Mala Necklace and each experience was as unique as the individual who participated, and we are delighted to share their words and experiences with you below.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Introducing the Mala Workshop - Gail:</image:title>
      <image:caption>There is a quote that describes creativity as sharing one’s soul with the world. The creation of the Mala Necklace is exactly this. You curate, deliberate, meditate, and reflect on each element of the design, and in the process, you become more and more in touch with your inner sense of being; you are manifesting a core energy that shines through the colors and formation of the jewelry.  This particular Mala Workshop was shared among ten inspiring, strong, uplifting women and friends, and it brought peace and a restorative sense of purpose to each of our spirits. The Mala is truly a powerful piece of art that shares your soul with the world!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I loved learning about the origins of Mala Necklaces and the intention behind wearing them. The Mala Necklace consists of 108 beads. Each bead symbolizes a prayer or a mantra that one says to oneself. The necklace is meant to be used in meditation, which I felt throughout the process of making my own. I was so happy to see everyone in their creative element and the finished product at the end of the workshop.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This Mala Workshop challenged me creatively and spiritually. I brought a picture of my parents to think on while I assembled my prayer beads. This picture is one of my favorites; my mother has an arm looped around my dad and is cheesing away. I felt so blessed to be able to reflect on my family while creating my Mala Necklace. When I shared my experience with my mother, she told me she had been pregnant with me in the photo I brought to the workshop. I couldn't have asked for a more soul-happy moment!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I absolutely loved the Mala Workshop.   The whole experience was magical from start to finish, an exquisite environment to relax and create. I loved setting the intention to tap into our inner genius to create freely and intuitively. The bead selections were out of this world gorgeous, and choosing them was so fun. I especially enjoyed the meditative practice of threading beads with other women while enjoying easy, connecting conversations. Seeing the unique beauty of what everyone created was incredible, and my favorite part was witnessing how everyone lit up when they put their creations on for the first time! It was such a great, heart-opening way to share time and energy. My Mala represents all of the wonderful memories made; a perfect keepsake and a great addition to my wardrobe!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When I entered the studio, the workshop was refreshing and aesthetically pleasing. A beautiful tea party was set, candles were burning, meditative music playing, and the station was decorated with the various Mala beads, ready and waiting for us to partake!  We were encouraged to bring a memento of a loved one to honor during the workshop, and so I brought a photograph of my beloved grandmother who passed away from cancer three years ago, and having her there with me felt all the more special. I recommend that everyone, no matter what age or gender, participate in the magic that is MALA! I built a stronger bond with my tribe, and my grandmother was with me in spirit throughout the entire workshop. I couldn’t have asked for a more soul-satisfying experience!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Introducing the Mala Workshop - Quentin Baxter:</image:title>
      <image:caption>For the past 25 years, I’ve sustained a tradition to celebrate my mom and daughter on my Born Day. Technically, I consider my date of birth to be my mother’s “birthday” since she was the one who gave birth to me. As you can imagine, after 25 years, it has become quite challenging to discover creative ways to honor these two extremely important women in my life. This year as I pondered, my lovely partner Rachel suggested that I make Malas for them, with each Mala specific to their personalities as it resonates with me. For me, this experience and these gifts are by far the most personal and spiritually edifying to date, and I believe the Malas were received as such knowing that they were actually created by me. These Malas represent such a fulfilling manifestation of my intentions and prayers for both my mom and my daughter.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Natalie Taylor - Bob Dylan once said, “The highest purpose of art is to inspire.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>This quote not only serves as a daily mantra at Grit &amp; Grace Studio, it is also a key part of our manifesto. We are blessed to be surrounded by fellow artists who inspire us daily, and Charleston artist Natalie Taylor is one of our great rays of sunshine.  When we say that Natalie Taylor’s work inspires us daily, we mean this in a literal sense: if you’ve visited our King Street Flagship store (come see us!), you’ve probably found yourself smitten with and possibly taking a selfie against Natalie’s stunning, shimmering abstract mural that adorns the studio.  Natalie Taylor’s work is so captivating and empowering, she was one of Rachel’s first calls as we began charting a course for the Grit &amp; Grace Cottage. (Stay tuned for more exciting updates and finished pictures of the newest Art by Natalie Taylor mural!)  These ethereal murals and moving portraits are a mirror of the graceful and powerful woman behind the paintbrush, and we are so honored to feature Natalie Taylor in today’s Walking with Grace interview.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Natalie Taylor - My artistic voice evolves as I do. I try to notice patterns in myself.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Aesthetically, what do I find myself drawn to over and over again? Conceptually, what do I find myself connecting with? What holds my attention and inspires creative thoughts? These interests, paired with my intuition and life experiences, allow me to create unique work.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Natalie Taylor - I can identify with both. I am a woman who feels comfortable in a feminine lifestyle. It’s an honest feeling to reflect through my art.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The women in my family, female friends, and the women I look up to have shown resilience in overcoming obstacles and trying times, all while retaining compassion and composure. There’s so much remarkable beauty to witness in all women. Creating this work helps me to gain confidence and strength. My hope is that it encourages others to find theirs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Natalie Taylor - Where to begin on describing the process! It is truly a self-motivated endeavor. I wish I could say that I’m covered up to my elbows every day in paint, but there is much more involved in running an art business than just putting paint to canvas.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Part of the process is wearing all the hats! It entails constructing wood panels, emailing, shipping, updating my website, taking and editing photos of my work and the process, creating quotes and commissions, developing and creating my online gallery work, marketing, creating interesting content; the list goes on. When it comes to solely creating art, though, I usually start with a simple sketch when inspiration strikes to kick off a project.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Natalie Taylor - I lean into my interests and listen to my body to stay inspired during the painting process, especially these days. Partnering with fellow artists and brands (even if it had to be at a distance) has been a great way to keep a sense of normalcy, meet new people, and have unexpected opportunities.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The waterway mural project at the Grit &amp; Grace AirBnB Cottage is a perfect example of that! Inspiration comes in escapism too— like walks in nature, bike rides, paddle-boarding in the creeks, cooking, listening to music, and watching a good film. Breathwork and yoga help to keep my body feeling fresh to tackle whatever the day will ask of me.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Natalie Taylor - While listening to The Jealous Curator’s podcast, I was introduced to New Orleans artist Ashley Longshore. I consider Ashley a role model and can’t get enough of the encouragement she gives to her audience. I admire her energetic words, positive outlooks, and unapologetic work.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Local Charleston artist Sam Rueter has beautiful and thought-provoking paintings. I respect how she lifts others up, too, and allows for progressive conversation on her platform. Australian artist Emma Gale inspires me with her concepts, colors, and narrative compositions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Gratitude and Grace - Practicing gratitude is an essential part of focusing our intentions here at Grit &amp; Grace Studio, and we have so much to be grateful for this year, both as a design house and as individuals.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our team of mermaids is fresh off our first Mala Workshop, an experience that was restorative, transformational, and filled with love and joy. The Grit &amp; Grace Family gathered in our studio with open doors and open minds, building memories and focusing our intentions as we each handcrafted our own unique Mala Mantra Necklace. The morning was filled with laughter, empathy, support, more than a few snack breaks… and adorable babble from baby Josie and tiny woofs from Pita Puppy. As we open our hearts and prepare to share the Grit &amp; Grace Mala Workshops with you, we want to offer up our gratitude and blessings for the rainbows and silver linings of 2020.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I’m grateful that I was raised by a strong, loving, kind, generous mother that taught me through example the true essence of what it means to have both grit and grace. I’m grateful to continue to be surrounded by the same energy by way of my work family and a strong tribe of women I consider to be my sisters. I’m grateful for live music, my loving partner, my immediate family, and my chosen family. I’m grateful to live in Charleston and for all the amazing experiences it brings, including yummy food, beautiful people, time on the water, incredible art, oak trees, palm trees, historic homes, church bells, and epic sunsets. I’m grateful for you, and I hope you have the most beautiful day ever; One Love &amp; Blessings.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I am so thankful for my time spent here in Charleston and the personal growth it has allowed me this year. Specifically, I am thankful for my position at Grit &amp; Grace and the creative and professional outlet it has granted me. I have learned so much over the course of this year and can only hope to learn and grow more with the Grit &amp; Grace family. The women and men I’ve had the privilege to work with have been a true source of inspiration for me in 2020. They have overcome difficulty and turned what could have been viewed as a negative into a positive. I appreciate that attitude and strength more than anything. Lastly, this year has given me a chance to reconnect to nature during a time that has been so restrictive. I’ve explored all I could outside, and I have found so many hidden gems in Charleston! We are very fortunate. Count your blessings!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This year has brought a whole new level of gratitude to my life: a baby in my belly is such a miraculous experience, and one that I wake up to every morning with a feeling of bewildered joy! I’m so thankful I have good health to harbor this little boy, a wonderful man as my partner and best friend, and especially in awe of the strength, support, and love from my family and friends. Oh, yes, and also especially grateful for my fur babes Trout and Pita. They bring a lot of rambunctious energy,  fur balls, and love to our tiny house, and remind me to live and love with all my might. photo credit: Diana Deaver</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I’m grateful to be MARRIED! We had a lovely little COVID-era wedding with our immediate families, which was all about finding the joy in the present and cherishing the simple things (like jumping in the lake with your new spouse!). I’m grateful that my sweet floofer, Gatsby, made a full recovery from an invasive surgery this year, that I married the nicest boy in the world, and that I finally found my dream home in the mountains. This year, more than most, I’m also so incredibly grateful for every moment with my family, especially my parents. This year might be an absolute dumpster fire, but we’ve found a way to make some s’mores, I guess! photo credit: Jack Robert Photography</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Despite everything, 2020 was a year that brought me more gratitude than any year prior. Our beautiful baby girl Josie John was born in June right before Father’s day and the summer solstice. The global happenings in 2020 and our little summer of love baby (our first!) have really made me slow down and, more so than ever before, understand and practice, practice, practice the art of living in the moment and looking at the bigger picture. Shortly after our little girl was born, we celebrated our 1-year anniversary. Both my husband, Eben, and I have discussed how grateful and lucky we are to have one another, our little girl, families, and friends that are happy and healthy, and still have businesses that are surviving despite the current global situation. Those riches absolutely do NOT go underappreciated in our household. photo credit: Diana Deaver</image:caption>

This year wasn’t the easiest, and I am grateful that my immediate family has maintained their good health. I am also thankful for my amazing Rottweiler, Marley, as well as the new and exciting opportunities that will present themselves as I grow with Grit &amp; Grace Studio! I couldn’t ask for a more supportive, caring, and exceptional group of women to work with. I am so lucky to have found them! Last but not least, I am thankful for our Creator, who blesses me every step of the way. I look forward to what 2021 brings!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I am so grateful for enduring friendships during this crazy year. 2020 has pushed all of us in different ways, and I have found comfort in (digitally!) connecting with old and new friends. Strangely, I have never felt so connected to the ones that surround me. I believe that everyone needs a little extra support emotionally and mentally right now, and I am so thankful that my friends have been shining bright for one another! A small amount of love and positivity can go a long way in a time like this!</image:caption>

While driving around Charleston to bring oyster shells to the port, I am fortunate to make connections with the city and spend some time by the sea every week. I am thankful for the lifelong friendships I have found here and that I can make a difference for the environment while studying for my marine biology graduate degree. My Grit &amp; Grace family has truly been a blessing to me this year, and I can’t wait to see what this amazing team accomplishes next! photo credit: Diana Deaver</image:caption>

Oversized checkers, cornhole, and bocci are other crowd-pleasers, and backyard mini-golf is a delightful but ambitious Friendsgiving idea for fledgling Martha Stewarts.  photo credit: @emsontheroad / @thecaitlinlee via blog post</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We firmly believe the best memories are made over a steaming heap of freshly roasted oysters. Kick off your epic Friendsgiving party by rubbing elbows around the shucking table or skip the traditional dinner altogether and spend the evening trading stories while you shuck locally raised oysters. Never hosted an oyster roast before? Charleston catering company The Smoking Pot will “bring their pot to your spot,” and even recycle the oyster shells after the party is over.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>At the Grit &amp; Grace Flagship store, playing with handcrafted necklaces and earrings is a part of the job. One of our favorite activities is mixing and matching our Lowcountry jewelry to create new looks and fun pairings while we work.  Each of our team members has their own distinct style and vibe, and we love how versatile every Grit &amp; Grace product can be. (Literally, there’s a gilded oyster necklace for every outfit and occasion!)  While you transition to your fall wardrobe (with holiday festivities and Christmas shopping just around the corner), we’re sharing some of our staff mix and match pairings to keep you inspired and feeling yourself. Since we’ve just added a plethora of beautiful, beloved new products, such as our Kiawah and Seabrook Earrings, the Ocean Earrings Collection, and the Odyssey Charm Bracelet, there is plenty to choose from, whether you're curating your own look or getting a head start on all your holiday gift-giving.

      <image:caption>The combination of wearing the Ocean Earrings and Mala Mantra Necklace is my absolute favorite. I find the Mala Necklace very calming and grounding. It always helps me find my center and stay true to my intentions. The Ocean Earrings remind me of my favorite place on earth, where I feel most connected to the source. The combination of being grounded and connected keep me living in the moment during the busiest of days, and for that, I am grateful.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Using my penmanship to decorate treasures for others is such a joy. The dishes are so much fun to do, and I like to think I share a little of myself with each piece. Even though the dish is not a piece of jewelry, it makes a special place for your jewelry. Sending a special handwritten note along with the gift makes it very personable.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The World Is Your Oyster: Best Lowcountry Jewelry Pairings - Locksley: Indigo Moxie Necklace + Pearl Adjustable Bracelet</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sea glass has always appealed to me, starting from an early age. It is truly beautiful the way the ocean’s waves can tumble and transform what was once a sharp piece of glass into something smooth and calming. Our adjustable pearl bracelet is a seamless match to the Moxie necklace. Pearls are similarly valued for their calming effects on the wearer and are known as a symbol of sincerity. Each piece harbors its own special property that can be worn with intention.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>There’s a lot more to the Coastal Calm Necklace than meets the eye, particularly with the Imfibinga seeds holding the delicate shell. I love that it tells a story of its own. Further that with the bumblebee bracelet: bumblebees do so much for our plant environment, and I love what they symbolize. Wearing each of these is a way to embrace nature’s reminders of inner calm, beauty, and strength.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The World Is Your Oyster: Best Lowcountry Jewelry Pairings - Reese: Kiawah Island Earrings + Mantra Bracelets</image:title>
      <image:caption>I love a glamorous, eye-catching pair of earrings. My style tends to be understated and simple these days, so I gravitate towards jewelry that’s a sophisticated statement all it’s own. The Kiawah Island Earrings are so easy to pair with all my favorites, from a dressy jumpsuit to a simple white sweater and jeans, and the Mantra Bracelets are such a fun, playful way to stay focused and centered.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The World Is Your Oyster: Best Lowcountry Jewelry Pairings - Melissa: Foxy Fossils Earrings + Grit Bolo Necklace</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m not sure if I have a set style, but most days, you could probably call it boho with beachy vibes. I love adjustable necklaces like the Grit Bolo Necklace because I always wear layers of necklaces- a locket in memory of my brother, a gold chain my mom gave me, and then another one layered in.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The World Is Your Oyster: Best Lowcountry Jewelry Pairings - Stevie: Lagoon Ocean Earrings + Golden Tide Necklace</image:title>
      <image:caption>I love the Lagoon Ocean Earrings because they symbolize the natural beauty of lagoons and how they are bodies of water that are separated from the ocean by reefs and barrier islands. My loving family and friends symbolize the barrier islands in my life that sometimes act like a deterrent from a harsh world. I feel a special connection to this piece because, like a lagoon, I try to embody myself with warm waters and peaceful vibes. To match with the earrings, I chose the beautiful Golden Tide Necklace. I chose this piece not only because of the eye-catching pearl-wrapped chain, but also because of the stunning hand-painted craftsmanship of our very own Mary Beth! This necklace pairs well with most G&amp;G products, and I love the simplicity of never having to worry about coordinating outfits around this piece… it works well with just about anything!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The World Is Your Oyster: Best Lowcountry Jewelry Pairings - Kat: Little Folly Beach Necklace + Angel Oak Earrings in Rose</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am a simple kind gal, and I love anything dainty, small, and understated. The Little Folly Beach Oyster Necklace is always my number one choice when it comes to petite perfection! Whenever I want to jazz up a simple outfit, I always reach for my Angel Oak Earrings in Rose. When I first moved to Charleston, I immediately fell in love with all the Spanish Moss draped across the trees. These earrings always remind me of the beautifully naturally decorated trees in the Lowcountry, just with a little more sparkle and shine!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The World Is Your Oyster: Best Lowcountry Jewelry Pairings - Clayr: Gold Bug Necklace + Kiawah Earrings</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Gold Bug Necklace is a beautiful expression of my style and my work: a little bit of grit and a little bit of grace! This braided rope necklace is studded with classic gems and pearls, reminding me of ships at sea. I am happiest when I am working with my hands by the water, and the rough and shine of this necklace brings me back to that: collecting oysters in the dirt and watching the evening light bounce off the waves and the ships at port. The Kiawah Earrings are the perfect pairing as they remind me of the life below the ocean's surface. Close your eyes and picture yourself as a shell looking up from the ocean floor. A beam of sunlight cuts through the glassy waves. It wraps around vines of sea kelp that twist and dance, stretching towards the surface. This scene is what comes to mind when I choose the Kiawah Earrings, with their delicate gold leaves twisting toward an ocean blue gem, a subtle reminder of the Deep Blue that I can add to any ensemble.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The World Is Your Oyster: Best Lowcountry Jewelry Pairings - Grace: Breakwater Earrings + Mala Mantra Necklace</image:title>
      <image:caption>In my opinion, there is nothing more awe-inspiring and serene than the ocean. I fell in love with our Ocean Collection Earrings from the minute I saw them. I’m kind of an earring fanatic: they're definitely my go-to accessory. The Breakwater Earrings are a dream, they truly are captivating, and I love that they resemble an aerial view of the ocean breaking along the coast! They are my favorite addition to a simple tee shirt and jeans. When I do rock a necklace, our Mala Mantra Necklace is my go-to. I put on this beauty, and I feel calm, centered, and grounded. The blues and greens go with pretty much everything, and I love the tassel! It’s a fun piece, and I almost always get compliments on it!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - American Business Women’s Day: Women Supporting Women - As we ride out the waves of 2020, we are so grateful for the community of strong women and female entrepreneurs that anchors us, inspires us, and guides us safely to port.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This year’s ever-changing tides have been particularly challenging for small businesses, so in recognition of American Business Women’s Day, we’re celebrating female entrepreneurs and women-owned small businesses that embody both grit and grace.  We celebrate American Business Women’s Day on September 22, the anniversary of the foundation of the American Business Women’s Association (ABWA). The ABWA mission is “to bring together businesswomen of diverse occupations and to provide opportunities for them to help themselves and others grow personally and professionally through leadership; education, networking support and national recognition.” At Grit &amp; Grace Studio, we firmly believe in women supporting women, and we hope you’ll join us in celebrating each of these amazing women as we learn about what it means to be a female entrepreneur in their own words.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Whenever I was in conflict, she instilled in me that I had everything I needed to overcome the situation because I had grit and grace to carry me through. Not only did she encourage me with these words, but I also witnessed her embody the very essence of grit and grace throughout her 15-year battle with cancer.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Being a business owner is no easy task: as women, we’re still fighting to be treated fairly and equally. It takes a strong woman to step out and face the world head-on as an entrepreneur and not give up. My first encounter with a strong female business owner in Charleston was fashionista Nancy Lerner of Nancy’s on King Street. I  met Nancy as a teenager, and her big personality could not be missed. Nancy closed her store after being in business for 50 years. Talk about bravery and endurance. She’s still my good friend, and I seek wisdom from her even today. photo credit: @celinepinget</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - American Business Women’s Day: Women Supporting Women - Being a single mom and balancing my career has been an interesting venture for me. I remember going back on stage the week after giving birth.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I had a responsibility to maintain my home that I just closed on a few weeks before giving birth, as well as making sure my son was taken care of financially. I have a very strong support system, which has allowed me to continue touring and maintaining my business here in Charleston.

      <image:title>Blog - American Business Women’s Day: Women Supporting Women - As a single mom, I’ve made it my duty to not fail and keep pushing down barrier walls that the general public has no idea we face as business owners. When he becomes a man, I want my son to be able to tell the story of how his mom traveled for work and never skipped a beat as it pertained to his upbringing, needs, and wants.</image:title>
      <image:caption>With all that being said, the words of wisdom I would give to women are: stand tall and strong and know that you are deserving of the life you create and want. It’s ok to grow at your own pace, and though you may face adversity, don’t give up. Just ask, and it will be given.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - American Business Women’s Day: Women Supporting Women - Absolutely! And she is the sole reason why I am where I am today!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Before I was a full-time photographer, I was a professional photo editor for other photographers. I would edit hundreds of beautiful photos a day, just longing to be the one behind the lens. I quickly befriended an editing client of mine, Sarah Jordan of Miles of Smiles Photography in Austin, Texas. I often spoke to her about my desire for a full-time photography business and my hesitance to jump in. After some encouragement, I opened a part-time photography studio, dipped my toes in, and when the business side of things got difficult, I panicked and wanted to give up. I was scared and felt lost in it all.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - American Business Women’s Day: Women Supporting Women - The very day that I had papers in my hand to close my doors permanently, I spoke to Sarah and told her the news.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Like a motivational scene from Braveheart, Sarah passionately told me that I cannot give up. She said, “You have come so far, there is no reason to give up now! I’m here for you, and I’m going to help you get where you need to be.” I was moved to tears that someone else wanted to support my life’s work. From that day on, Sarah has been a rock for me and my business. She has gracefully guided me through self-doubtful moments, financial scares, and has been there to celebrate great successes with me along the way. She has been there as an incredibly supportive business mentor and more importantly, a friend. Merriwillow Photography would not exist today without this wonderful woman’s business-minded brain, love, and support!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - American Business Women’s Day: Women Supporting Women - When I first entered the small business world, I will admit I was intimidated! I wasn’t sure how I “fit in” with other small business owners and their journeys. When I started Merriwillow, I joined several groups, locally and online to help feel like I “belonged” in this business world.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The best thing that has come out of being a women-owned small business is finding other women who are just like me. The sense of community, support, and love that I feel from my small business colleagues are unrivaled. The business journey is so much more enjoyable when you have strong, like-minded women along for the ride with you!</image:caption>

I also come from a family that is very creative and self-taught in the arts (pottery, painting, printmaking, etc.).</image:title>
      <image:caption>I have always been into making jewelry for friends and family, especially using something I find fascinating, such as fossils that date back millions of years and tell a story within a story. Combining these two was natural for me, and when my friends’ friends and random strangers reached out wanting a piece of my handmade fossil jewelry, little did I know that it wouldn’t slow down from there. The encouragement and positive feedback and sales all represented a profitable passion that step-by-step led me to start Foxy Fossils as an official business. photo credit: Ethan Levine of Ethan Taylor Creative</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - American Business Women’s Day: Women Supporting Women - Being a woman in a predominantly male business was very exciting in the beginning. When the business first started to take over, I was changing the way that people bought shoes - no longer from men behind desks but from women on the road selling in different ways. From visiting my mother’s trade shows and selling directly to the women working the booths to visiting any and every trunk show that I could, it gave customers a much more personal connection to the brand.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Additionally, it was rare to see a woman designing shoes for women - knowing what it's like to stand in heels all day and wanted to look great but feel even better no matter what the day brought. Knowing that the designer could relate to every woman’s shoe frustrations really resonates in our product and with our customers. Our comfort and classically timeless styles just make sense for any wardrobe because we are designing for our friends, mothers, and daughters. I truly believe that hard work, determination, and passion are the only ways to succeed in any line of work, all of which I used to think outside of the box and create a new way of doing an age-old business. I didn’t see it as an obstacle, but yet as a fun opportunity and adventure.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - American Business Women’s Day: Women Supporting Women - I started focusing on marketing “coaching” specifically because I find it much more rewarding to give women business owners the tools and confidence they need to help grow their business on their own or with their own team. It’s more affordable for them, and it makes their marketing more authentic- which is something I’m a big believer we need more of in marketing: authenticity.</image:title>

      <image:caption>When I tragically lost my brother several years ago, I took a step back and a long hard look at my marketing consulting business. I evaluated everything I was doing and envisioned the businesses I wanted to be running. (What is now Local 44 North) I survived by taking it day by day. I started making small changes here and there, setting goals, and just doing what I could every day to work towards the new business I was envisioning. Some days just taking care of my basic needs was all I could manage, and I told myself that that was okay. I was gentle with myself.  There’s a quote that says, “We overestimate how much we can get done in a day but underestimate how much we can get done in a year.” This is absolutely true!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Oyster Shell Recycling: From Oysters Rockefeller to Oyster Reef Restoration - Have you ever wondered where your food comes from? When you look at your Oysters Rockefeller, you probably think the answer is, obviously, from the sea (or from heaven).. However, the story of how those delicious mollusks made it onto your plate and what happens to the shells after your dish is cleared is much more complex than initially meets the eye, causing a global impact that’s worth a deep dive.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Thanks to our in-house oyster shell recycling program that integrates shells from Charleston restaurants with SCDNR’s oyster reef restoration program, we have insider knowledge on the impact of eating oysters here at Grit &amp; Grace Studio. Join us as we take an in-depth look at the good and bad environmental impacts that come from eating oysters, why oyster shell recycling is so important, and the progress worldwide thanks to massive oyster reef restoration projects.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Oyster Shell Recycling: From Oysters Rockefeller to Oyster Reef Restoration - Wild Harvest Versus Oyster Farms</image:title>
      <image:caption>When you think of where your oysters come from, you probably picture naturally occuring oyster reefs along the coastline. And some “wild harvest” oysters are harvested from those oyster beds, but did you know you can farm oysters? The Romans first cultured oyster reefs 2,000 years ago, and modern oyster farming has come leaps and bounds since then: 95% of the oysters we eat today are farm-raised. Unlike other forms of aquaculture, farmed oysters are eco-friendly and possibly even healthier for you. Farmers are able to grow their oysters in areas free of pollutants, unlike their wild cousins, but because oysters are filter feeders, densely populated oyster farms actually improve the water quality without depleting wild seafood stocks or producing harmful waste products. Harvesting wild oysters can deplete existing oyster reefs, and some wild harvest techniques include dredging, which destroys seafloor habitats.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>As you order up your oysters on the half shell in your chic neighborhood raw bar, it’s easy to see why humanity has an eons-long love affair with oysters: they’re healthy, they’re delicious, they’re a delicacy that is forever being creatively reinvented by top chefs. People have been eating oysters for 164,000 years, according to archaeologists. The oyster industry really hit its stride in the early 19th century, however, when oysters were a common food for the lower classes, and massive oyster reefs still spanned coastlines.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Oyster Shell Recycling: From Oysters Rockefeller to Oyster Reef Restoration - In the year 1880, over 700 million oysters were consumed in London alone, and it’s estimated New Yorkers harvested as much as 160 million pounds of oyster meat between 1880 to 1910. This activity exhausted the seemingly boundless oyster reefs in these oyster hubs, elevating oysters to a delicacy with the foodie status they still claim today.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Today, Americans consume an estimated 2.5 billion oysters per year. Though most of these oysters are farmed instead of wild-harvested oysters, perhaps the most critical part of eating oysters, from an environmental standpoint, is what happens after your plate is cleared.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Oyster Shell Recycling: From Oysters Rockefeller to Oyster Reef Restoration - For the Shell of It</image:title>
      <image:caption>Don’t chuck that shuck! Whether farmed or wild, juvenile oysters (spat) require a hard substrate to attach to in order to complete their growth cycle. Ideally, the spat will latch onto other oyster shells (which is how oysters form reefs); however, there are widespread shell shortages due to improper disposal of oyster shells into landfills.  Fortunately, more and more people have become aware of the importance of oyster shell recycling, and many restaurants, small businesses, government agencies, and non-profit organizations have banded together to close the loop by collecting, quarantining, and then recycling oyster shells back to our coastlines.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Oyster Shell Recycling: From Oysters Rockefeller to Oyster Reef Restoration - To demonstrate the power of what happens when we all join together, consider that in a little more than a year, The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, a non-profit, has collected more than a 4,581 tons of shells from restaurants since 2014.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Oyster Recovery Partnership, a Chesapeake-Bay centered organization, recycled 36,000 bushels of shells from approximately 340 restaurants, and the One Billion Oyster Project is proud to have recycled 1.5 million pounds of oyster shells to the New York Harbor since 2014.

      <image:title>Blog - Oyster Shell Recycling: From Oysters Rockefeller to Oyster Reef Restoration - Your empty oyster shells will go through a cleaning or quarantining process to avoid introducing any foreign organisms into your local waters since so many oysters are now shipped in from other places, each with their own microbes.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Then, most often, the shells are shoveled into mesh bags to form artificial oyster reefs before being strategically placed along the coastline to attract wild oyster spat, which will attach to the artificial reef and begin populating and drawing in even more oysters. Oyster reef restoration projects are underway all over the world, especially in coastal areas in the United States, and they’re yielding positive results for wild oyster populations and so much hope for restoring marine habitats and saving our seas.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Oyster Shell Recycling: From Oysters Rockefeller to Oyster Reef Restoration - To highlight a few notable successes, let’s delve into the progress recently made in the Chesapeake Bay and the country of Australia, which retain only 1% of their wild oyster populations, and the DEEP project in Scotland’s Doronch Firth, where the European Flat Oysters became extinct due to overfishing.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Today, extensive oyster reef restoration projects pepper the Chesapeake Bay, including the successful Harris Creek oyster reef restoration project, which measures 350 acres, was seeded with more than 2 billion oysters and was the largest in the world in 2015.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Oyster Shell Recycling: From Oysters Rockefeller to Oyster Reef Restoration - Likewise, Australia is now home to the largest artificial oyster reef system in the Southern Hemisphere, measuring more than 50 acres. Scientists released more than 80,000 hatchery-reared Australian Flat Oysters onto the reef, and today, researchers are thrilled to see this successful oyster reef restoration project has recruited millions of native oysters.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Finally, despite the complete and total decimation of the local oyster population in the 1900s, the Doronch Firth oyster reintroduction project has achieved a fabulous survival rate - up to 86% in some areas.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The success of oyster reef restoration not only helps replenish wild oyster populations, but it also has a ripple effect that is so exciting to see.  Adult oysters can filter up to 50 gallons of water daily. This filtration dramatically improves water quality, reduces sediment, and removes excess nitrogen, which is the cause of harmful algal blooms. In fact, the Harris Creek oyster reef project we mentioned removes an amount of nitrogen equivalent to an estimated 20,000 bags of fertilizer from their local waters each year!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Oyster Shell Recycling: From Oysters Rockefeller to Oyster Reef Restoration - Did you know that oyster reefs also provide rich habitats for other species? A 4-inch square patch of oysters can host more than 1,000 individual invertebrates from a range of different biological groups. Oyster beds also allow marshes to flourish, which provide essential habitat for migratory birds.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Last but not least, oyster reefs protect our shores from flooding and erosion. The shape and density of oyster reefs act as a natural breakwater, absorbing the force of the waves from incoming storms, and studies from the Gulf of Mexico indicate that oyster reefs are capable of reducing the energy of high power waves by as much as 76 to 93 percent.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Eat sustainably farmed oysters. Eating oysters is good for you, and oyster farming is good for the planet! Support restaurants that recycle their oyster shells; restaurants need your support now more than ever. Spread awareness of the severity of wild oyster reef loss.  Volunteer with local oyster reef restoration projects or your local oyster recycling program. Donate to oyster-centered non-profit organizations, like the Billion Oyster Project, the Oyster Recovery Partnership, the Dornoch Environmental Enhancement Program, and the Nature Conservancy.  Support small businesses that are committed to oyster reef restoration. There are many wonderful small businesses like Grit &amp; Grace Studio who are answering the call to help save our seas, and, like restaurants, small businesses are anchored in your support during these rough waters.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Best Charleston Restaurants: The Ultimate Oyster Lover’s Guide - Where should we eat tonight? Hands down, this is one of the most common questions tourists ask us. And since Charleston is basically a foodie’s playground, this can actually be a very challenging question: Do you want the hottest new spot on the block? A Charleston classic? A James Beard-nominated chef? A particular dish? A trendy Charleston raw bar?</image:title>
      <image:caption>More often than not, visitors to the Holy City are on the hunt for some fresh-caught seafood and local oysters. And obviously, at Grit &amp; Grace Studio, we’re oyster fanatics, so we decided to put together the oyster lover’s dining guide to Charleston restaurants. What’s not to love about an oyster? They’re delicious raw, fire-roasted, deep-fried to a golden brown, steamed, baked, and even slurped down as an oyster shooter, for the more adventurous. (We also think they’re lovely as a gilded oyster jewelry dish and displayed on your coffee table, hint hint, but we digress.) Whether you like ‘em shucked or on the half shell, we’ve got you covered!</image:caption>

(The Oysters and Our Marshes event was our favorite, obviously!)  Last year, SEWE hosted not one, but two oyster roasts, setting our hearts aflutter: the Ducks Unlimited Oyster Roast, an annual event, featured steamed oysters, an open bar, live music, and an auction on Friday night, and the South Carolina Waterfowl Association 25th Annual Duck Shuck Oyster Roast kicked off on Saturday night with a casual evening filled with oysters, raffles, and music.</image:caption>

Plan to order a craft cocktail and snack on your deviled eggs topped with hot, crispy fried oysters and traditional chow chow before heading out downtown, or settle in with some friends and order a fried oyster bahn mi as the night’s festivities get underway at this lively bar. photo credit: @girleatscharleston</image:caption>

      <image:caption>On the hunt for the best fried oysters in Charleston? Treat yourself to an elegant evening at The Ordinary, a contemporary Southern seafood hall housed in a breathtaking space on historic King Street. One of the best restaurants in Charleston, The Ordinary has the sort of menu that will have you thinking, “One of everything, please,” but make sure you start with their fried oyster sliders with nuoc cham and fresno mayonnaise, served on a delicious Hawaiian roll. Dubbed Charleston’s “Fancy Seafood &amp; Oyster Bar,” you’ll want to peruse their raw oyster selection as well!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When “oyster shop” is in the name, you know the fried oysters are going to be good. Leon’s Oyster Shop is a hip, fun Charleston restaurant known for their fried chicken, oysters, and good company. The fried oyster roll is a savory sandwich with lettuce, tomato, avocado, comeback sauce, and chives, and we think it pairs beautifully with their rosé slushie. We would be remiss not to give Leon’s raw bar and char-grilled oysters a shoutout, alongside their playful drink menu, which features sections such as Cheapish Wine, Frozen!, and Day Drinking. photo credit: @laceytoneyphotography</image:caption>

      <image:caption>While 82 Queen’s she-crab soup is one of Charleston’s iconic dishes, the fried oyster salad also deserves a nod. Savor Lowcountry oysters over crisp greens dressed with a creole mustard vinaigrette and sprinkled with bacon and smoked gouda. The stunning hidden courtyard sits underneath an ancient, sprawling magnolia tree; you’ll feel like you’re in a secret garden in this beloved Charleston restaurant.</image:caption>

The recent “Quench Press” featured a Single Lady oyster topped with grapefruit-ginger mignonette and a chaser of Revelry Brewing’s Quenched American Wild Ale. This St. Patrick’s Day, Lendacki came up with the Piggy Back: a dressed Irish Point oyster with a bacon-infused Jameson “pickle-back.” Keep an eye on the Amen Street Instagram and Lendacki’s feed to see what’s up next!</image:caption>

Keep an eye out for their “Chicken Soup” infused vodka (spoiler alert: there’s not actually chicken in there) to add some flair to the classic oyster shooter.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Customized Gifts to Celebrate World Calligraphy Day - When Gail is not greeting customers, gilding our oyster shell jewelry dishes, and shipping our handcrafted decoupage oysters, you’ll often find her with a calligraphy pen in her hand, adding thoughtful touches to our gifts and heartfelt messages to gift cards.</image:title>
      <image:caption>For Mary Beth, a love of fine penmanship is in her genes. She credits her father for her love of calligraphy, “Father had the best handwriting; everything was just perfect in his penmanship!” Her admiration of her father’s writing led Mary Beth to practice her own “fancy writing” for hours on end, a lifelong pastime we at Grit &amp; Grace Studio are very grateful for today! Mary Beth explains, “When you receive a customized gift, it means someone has taken the time to think about you and give you a special gift. They have taken the time and effort to have it created just for you.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 11 Companies That Contribute to Oyster Reef Restoration - We’re stronger together: it’s one of our mantras at Grit &amp; Grace Studio. As ocean advocates, we’re so happy to see more and more people focusing on the health of our seas, and in particular, the importance of oyster reef restoration!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Did you know: A single adult oyster can filter and purify up to 50 gallons of water in one day?  A 4-inch square patch of oysters can host more than 1,000 individual invertebrates from a range of different biological groups? Oyster reefs also provide natural breakwaters against wave energy and storm surge? Oyster reefs allow marshland habitats to form and prevent erosion? Unfortunately, overharvesting, pollution, and disease have destroyed more than 85% of the world’s oyster reefs in the last two centuries.  The numbers are staggering, but there is so much hope. Government agencies, scientists, private companies, and small businesses are joining together around the globe to save our oyster reefs. These oyster reef restoration projects are helping to turn the tide in the fight to save our seas.  Today we’re highlighting 11 brands leading the charge for oyster shell recycling and oyster reef restoration, and we hope you’ll join us and support the movement!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Pour yourself another glass of sauvignon blanc; it’s for a good cause, we swear. Every bottle of Proud Pour’s Mendocino Country Sauvignon Blanc restores 100 oysters back to the wild by funding one of Proud Pour’s 22 non-profit environmental partners. This exceptional company’s commitment to the planet extends far beyond oyster reef restoration, however, and they also have a Pinot Noir for the Bees, a Pinot Noir Rosé for Coral Reefs, and a Cider for Sea Turtles.

      <image:caption>When Rachel Gordon built Grit &amp; Grace Studio, an in-house oyster shell recycling program was our foundation. Our oyster recycling program bridges the gap between Charleston’s bustling restaurant industry and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources’ oyster reef restoration projects. To date, we have recycled more than 5,000 gallons of oysters back to the Lowcountry waters. The purchase of each oyster shell jewelry dish, oyster shell necklace, or oyster candle recycles 10 oyster shells and helps us spread the word about the importance of oyster reef restoration.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 11 Companies That Contribute to Oyster Reef Restoration - Glenmorangie Whisky</image:title>
      <image:caption>Raise a glass to Glenmorangie! The whisky company funds the Dornoch Environmental Enhancement Project (DEEP), which works to restore oysters to the Dornoch Firth, where they had been fished to extinction. Alongside their DEEP partners, Heriot-Watt University and the Marine Conservation Society, they completed Europe’s first oyster reef restoration project. The hard work has paid off: more than 20,000 oysters returned to the Dornoch Firth. Dr. Bill Sanderson, DEEP’s research director and associate professor of marine biodiversity at Heriot-Watt University, said, “DEEP’s ground-breaking work in the Dornoch Firth proves that it is possible to return oysters to areas in which they have become extinct.” We’ll toast to that!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Did you know oysters once measured 12 feet in length? Oysters date back 200 million years ago, to the Triassic period. They grew on new coral reefs at shallow depths and eventually evolved into the smaller, reef-forming creatures we know and love today.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Author Jonathan Swift once mused, “He was a bold man that first ate an oyster,” but actually, humans have been savoring oysters since the Mesolithic period. While it was originally theorized that humans pried open the shells with rocks, archaeologists discovered marks consistent with fire scorch marks, suggesting humankind dined on roasted oysters long before oysters on the half shell (or oysters Rockefeller).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“What’s a bivalve?” you ask. Bivalves belong to the class of animals called Bivalvia, a class of marine and freshwater mollusks with laterally compressed bodies enclosed by a shell consisting of two hinged parts, allowing for the shells to open and close. Oysters, clams, cockles, mussels, and scallops are all bivalves!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We actually have the Roman Empire to thank for the invention of oyster farming: they collected seed stock near the mouth of the Adriatic Sea and transported it back to Italy for cultivation. These oysters, known as Native Oysters, are commonly found in Roman archaeological digs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 15 Oyster Facts for National Oyster Day - Oysters were a common food for the working class.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Once prized by the Romans, oysters lost some of their foodie status in the early 19th century. The working class used oysters as a substitute for beef, and the Victorian lower classes regularly enjoyed oyster pie as a go-to meal.

      <image:title>Blog - 15 Oyster Facts for National Oyster Day - Overharvesting and disease reduced oyster populations worldwide, making them a delicacy again.</image:title>
      <image:caption>When the demand for oysters outstripped the supply in New York early in the 20th century, oystermen introduced foreign oyster species in an attempt to restock the supply. Unfortunately, this also introduced disease, and increasing sedimentation from erosion destroyed most of New York’s oyster reefs.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>While there are more than 150 varietals of oysters, there are only 5 species harvested in North America: Pacific oysters, Kumamoto oysters, Atlantic oysters, European oysters, and Olympia oysters. Each species does have its own characteristics, but the variations in flavor are due to their local habitats.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 15 Oyster Facts for National Oyster Day - Oysters filter water.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Did you know an adult oyster can filter a whopping 50 gallons of water per day? Oysters filter the water to obtain food, but they also filter out sediment and pollutants by consuming them or shaping them into small packets that they deposit onto the sand. The oyster reefs in Harris Creek, Maryland, remove an amount of nitrogen equivalent to an estimated 20,000 bags of fertilizer each year.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 15 Oyster Facts for National Oyster Day - Oysters make pearls.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Each lustrous pearl actually started as a piece of grit or irritant. The irritant slips between one of the oyster’s shells and the mantle, the protective layer that covers the oyster’s organs, and the oyster quickly begins to encapsulate the intruder with layer upon layer of nacre, a protective mineral substance. The layers of nacre continue to build up to form a pearl, over time.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 15 Oyster Facts for National Oyster Day - Oyster reefs provide habitat.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Oyster reefs create habitats for hundreds of other species. Oysters provide clean, filtered water, and oyster reefs offer shelter for marine species such as mussels, barnacles, and sea anemones. They also provide habitat for foraging fish, invertebrates, and other shellfish, as well as providing a “safe nursery for commercially valuable species, including anchovies, blue crab, croaker, flounder, herring, menhaden, shrimp, silver perch,” and others.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 15 Oyster Facts for National Oyster Day - Oyster reefs prevent floods and erosion.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Oyster reefs buffer wave energy and promote sediment deposits, allowing seagrass areas and marshes to form, which helps prevent floods and erosion. They also act as a natural breakwater because their physical structure absorbs the force of the waves against incoming storms and the resulting erosion. Studies from the Gulf of Mexico indicate that oyster reefs are capable of reducing the energy of high power waves by as much as 76 to 93 percent.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 15 Oyster Facts for National Oyster Day - An estimated 85% of oyster reefs have been lost globally.</image:title>
      <image:caption>According to the Nature Conservancy, “Today, oyster reefs are considered one of the planet’s most imperiled marine habitats. Over the last two centuries, more than 85 percent of the world’s oyster reefs have been lost.” Overharvesting, pollution, disease, and failure to return oyster shells to the water after consumption all factor heavily into this decline.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Though the depletion of oyster reefs is critical, there is hope. Oyster shell recycling is a powerful, effective way to restore oyster reefs and marine habitats. Oyster shells from restaurants and events must be quarantined and then returned to the water to promote the formation of new reefs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Ultimate Guide to a Perfect Charleston Bachelorette Party - Girls Just Want to Have Fun</image:title>
      <image:caption>Lastly, to all you party queens out there, Charleston sees you, and we hear you! It would not be a Charleston bachelorette party without a few memorable nights out on the town. Let’s dive into our favorite happy hour and brunch places! We Grit &amp; Grace girls recommend starting your Friday night adventure at The Rarebit with a Moscow Mule, considered by many as the best in town, made with homemade ginger beer (just $6.00 during 4-7 pm). From there, you and your squad can wander over to Prohibition. This swanky downtown bar imitates a 1920’s speakeasy with its vintage-inspired décor and bourbon barrel ceiling. There you will find a mouthwatering menu of snacks and cocktails all for $5.00 during happy hour, including oysters on the half shell, Pimm’s Cups, and local draft beer.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Jenny Block - It’s impossible not to be drawn to Jenny Block. Not only is she a powerful writer (have you seen her newest New York Times piece?), but Jenny approaches life with a blend of optimism, strength, whimsy, and grace that’s all her own. It’s part of what makes her a unicorn!</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you Google Jenny Block, a wealth of her published pieces pop up. Her articles range from a first-hand experience at a nudist resort to foodie coverage of Feast Portland to covering model and musician Taylor Muhl coming out as a chimera (it’s fascinating). A quick skim through her headlines will reel you in and have you voraciously pouring over each piece, so have your coffee ready, and it will confirm for you without a doubt that Jenny is living her best life. And living her best life is actually what Jenny Block is known for! Her newest book, Be That Unicorn, is all about stepping into your own, finding your magic, and sharing your shine. So, what does it mean to be a unicorn? “Being That Unicorn means being the magnetic person that everyone in the room is drawn to. It means being honest and true to yourself every day, no matter what. When you are really, really good at being yourself, you’ll make other people feel really, really good about themselves, too,” Jenny explains.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Jenny Block - People often tell me that being around me makes them feel good about themselves. “You’re like this little cheerleader saying, ‘You can do it!’ all day long. I wish I could carry you around in my pocket all the time,” they would joke. Well, I can’t be in everyone’s pocket. But my book and my words certainly can.</image:title>
      <image:caption>My Papa Herbie made me feel like the most special little unicorn in the universe who can be or do absolutely everything. Not everyone has a Papa Herbie. But they can certainly have a little tome to help them on their way to Being That Unicorn! photo credit: Terri Glanger</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Jenny Block - I tried to write like other people. The more uncomfortable that got, the more I realized that there was no point in doing that. It sounded fake. It was nearly impossible to do. And, in the end, what’s the point?</image:title>
      <image:caption>I told my inner critic to “Pipe down!” and I gave myself permission to write. I reminded myself that just because it hits the page doesn’t mean the whole world will see it that instant. There is a time and place for editing. But when you are having a go at getting it all out on paper is not the time. Let it all out. Bleed on the page, as they say. Then you can tidy it up before you send it out into the world. photo credit: Terri Glanger</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Cute “Something Blue” Ideas for Your Wedding - When it comes to your wedding, who couldn’t use a little extra good luck?</image:title>
      <image:caption>From the weather report to the best man’s impromptu speech (after hitting the open bar, yikes!), there are plenty of things to keep a bride up at night as the big day gets closer, which is probably why "something blue" remains one of the most popular wedding traditions for garnering good luck!  The custom of incorporating something blue into your wedding day attire hails all the way back to the Victorian era. This popular wedding tradition actually stems from an Old English rhyme meant to protect the bride from the Evil Eye: “Something Olde, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, A Sixpence in Your Shoe”</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb2e3278989722c01c44085/1592240810035-ZXJCBE20ANK9HWHUZW6Q/AptBPhoto_FleetingElegance_Jekyll-43.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Blog - 10 Cute “Something Blue” Ideas for Your Wedding - The “something old” references continuity, and “something new” symbolizes optimism for the future. The “something borrowed” is a token of happiness, “something blue” signifies loyalty and purity, and the “sixpence in your shoe” is downright uncomfortable… just kidding, the sixpence actually represents good fortune and prosperity.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Today, this Victorian wedding tradition has morphed into something fun and lighthearted to give the bride well wishes and good luck on her big day. These tokens are often playful accessories and thoughtful gifts from loved ones for the bride to incorporate into her outfit, and we’ve put together some fresh, fun Something Blue ideas for the modern bride!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If your pup is your ride-or-die and obviously invited to the wedding, you’ll love these blue seersucker dog bow ties from Crew LaLa. Can you think of a cuter something blue wedding idea?! (Or a cuter pup than Bumblebee the Golden?!) While Crew LaLa offers a variety of patterns and designs, we love the seersucker to accent the Charleston bride or for a Southern wedding, and a bow tie will last way longer around your puppy’s neck than a floral wreath, we promise. photo credit: @bumblebeethegolden</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Cute “Something Blue” Ideas for Your Wedding - The Something Blue Bridal Bouquet</image:title>
      <image:caption>Flowers are one of the most fun parts of planning a wedding (who wants to talk about table linens, seriously?), and they are a natural way to work something blue into your wedding day! For a softer, pale shade, look to hydrangeas. Delphiniums grow in a rich range of hues, and thistle, viburnum berries, or grape hyacinth add a lovely texture and dimension to your bouquet.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>While you may not think of a purse as the most obvious bridal accessory, you’ll want to touch up your makeup and carry a few extra bobby pins, just in case! The clutch is a simple, classic option to carry (or hand off to your maid of honor) on your wedding day. We love this glamorous, embellished clutch from Harriet Wilde for a very practical something blue you’ll surely use again.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Let your something blue add a personalized touch to your gown with an embroidered wedding tag, like this lovely one from Extra Special Touch. This sweet, subtle touch can bear your wedding date, your new last name, or honor the memory of a loved one, and it is sewed directly inside your dress. This is a newer idea among wedding traditions, and we love the idea of something blue as a one-of-a-kind embellishment.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 10 Cute “Something Blue” Ideas for Your Wedding - The Something Blue Handkerchief</image:title>
      <image:caption>Maybe you’ll delicately shed shimmering tears of joy, or maybe you will straight up ugly cry with wild abandon, but either way, you’re going to need a tissue at some point during your wedding day, girl. Plan in advance and let the beautiful handkerchief serve as your something blue. Tuck it inside your gown or wedding clutch, or wind it around your bouquet so it’ll never be out of reach when you need to dab your eyes!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Finding Balance &amp;amp; Nurturing Wellness: Abigail King, Certified Nutrition Specialist</image:title>
      <image:caption>Health and wellness are certainly in the spotlight for 2020, so we are checking in with local Charleston Certified Nutrition Specialist Abigail King as we harness our energy toward positive changes and the work ahead. Abigail King focuses on functional nutrition to promote optimum health and longevity. In her own words, “Simply put, functional nutrition addresses imbalances in the body by restoring function through food, lifestyle, and if necessary, supplement interventions. It transforms dysfunctioning body systems into optimal, functional health.”  Rather than turning to medications to mask or suppress the symptoms you may be dealing with, Abigail believes in taking an in-depth look at your comprehensive health and diet, and finding where you can better nourish and fuel the body to achieve better health, energy, and sleep.  Whether the events of this year have left you feeling focused on optimizing your health, in desperate search of a better night’s sleep, or craving more energy to get out and rebuild a better, more hopeful future, Abigail’s got you covered!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Finding Balance &amp;amp; Nurturing Wellness: Abigail King, Certified Nutrition Specialist - My first tip to combat stress is to prioritize sleep. For adults, about 7-9 hours of sleep per night is ideal. Sleep deprivation is associated with problems, including fatigue, headaches, reduced productivity, mood issues, weight gain, and higher risk for many chronic diseases.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Finding Balance &amp;amp; Nurturing Wellness: Abigail King, Certified Nutrition Specialist - My second tip goes hand in hand with the first, and that's to get outside and get sunlight exposure.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Exposure to natural light is a very important regulator of the brain cells that are responsible for forming the circadian rhythm, our internal body clock. It helps to regulate our hormone melatonin, which is responsible for making us sleepy at night. Try to get outside in the morning for at least 10-30 minutes for a walk. You'll also get an immune boost from the vitamin D you are producing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Finding Balance &amp;amp; Nurturing Wellness: Abigail King, Certified Nutrition Specialist - My third tip is to eat a fiber-rich diet.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and legumes. Most of us don't consume enough fiber. The recommended dose is about 30-35 grams per day. Fiber is critical for building and maintaining a healthy gut, which research shows is key for overall health and longevity.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Gut health (bloating/gas, stomach aches/pains, IBS, constipation, food sensitivities, etc.), weight loss, fatigue, hormone imbalance, cardiovascular health, or just overall not feeling themself and want to feel better. I focus on nutrition and lifestyle modifications, and I address nutrient deficiencies &amp; imbalances/toxicities in the body. My goal is to give my patients the knowledge and tools to sustain a healthy lifestyle that promotes longevity and optimal health.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Finding Balance &amp;amp; Nurturing Wellness: Abigail King, Certified Nutrition Specialist - I love my smoothie bowls!</image:title>
      <image:caption>My body craves all the good nutrition and fiber in the smoothie. I like to teach my patients to make balanced smoothies with enough protein, carbs, healthy fat, and fiber. Enjoying a balanced smoothie should keep you full for about 3 hours. Lately, I've been making a veggie pasta concoction. I love the Banza pasta made from chickpeas. It's packed with fiber and protein. I'll sautee a few cloves of garlic with fresh herbs and then add whatever veggies I have in the fridge. Super satisfying!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Finding Balance &amp;amp; Nurturing Wellness: Abigail King, Certified Nutrition Specialist - I love fresh ginger and turmeric root from Spade &amp; Clover in Charleston, SC.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I'll add an inch of the root to my smoothies or add fresh ginger/turmeric to my cooking. Blueberries are also a favorite of mine. They are one of the most antioxidant-rich foods. Studies show that blueberries can help protect against neurodegenerative diseases, lower blood pressure, and promote healthy digestion.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Finding Balance &amp;amp; Nurturing Wellness: Abigail King, Certified Nutrition Specialist - Through my education and mostly through my experience with patients, I've learned that health is not just about what you eat.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Stress is a huge component of one's health. During consultations, I find that it is typically a stressful life event that is the tipping point in someone's health. Don't underestimate what stress can do on the body. Stress causes inflammation in the body, just like a physical injury would swell up; it's a similar immune response. Become aware of the stressors in your life and incorporate more relaxation techniques and prioritize sleep.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Whether it be taking a walk with my dog, doing a mellow yoga class, or spending time with friends. Taking time to unplug is crucial for my mental health and maintaining balance in my life.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Juneteenth: Celebrating Black Creators - Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day and Jubilee Day, is a holiday that celebrates the end of slavery, dating back to the first annual celebrations in 1866.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This year, as we work for and hope for a better, more loving, and inclusive future, we’re celebrating Juneteenth by sharing the words, wisdom, and stories of 7 inspiring black creators.  These artists’ creations redefine spaces, defy expectations, and inspire: from show-stopping, gorgeous knives that can slice through 8 water bottles in one stroke; brilliant, wearable art filled with hope; a whimsical wandering flower truck; a virtual cafe filled with love and poetry; breathtaking indigo batik; soul-stirring Gullah tunes; and stunning vintage-inspired contemporary glasswork. Let’s join them on their journey, celebrate their work, and explore new spaces together.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Juneteenth: Celebrating Black Creators - Atlanta-based artist Melissa Mitchell of Abeille Creations is a dream-chaser and visionary whose nickname is the “Kaleidoscope of Hope.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>Her unforgettable bold, vibrant works of art have been showcased at Art Basel Miami, in Sheen and Essence magazines, and in a Vogue product feature. You also may have been inspired to snap pictures of her stunning murals at East Atlanta Village Art Gallery, Florida A&amp;M University, or M Bar Lounge. Celebrities also love Abeille Creations’ line of wearable art, and Quiana Parler of Ranky Tanky sported one of Melissa Mitchell’s gorgeous creations during her first Grammy win this winter!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Juneteenth: Celebrating Black Creators - I am inspired by love, faith, and emotions. All three of those culminate in my work every single time.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I want people to really experience GOD when they wear my pieces, and when they experience anything that I've created. I always say that I am a conduit of the heavens because I do feel my art is a language from beyond. Every time I pick up a brush, I am in awe of what I am able to produce. I want people to walk away feeling loved, have their faith strengthened, and understand how to pour their emotions into something magical.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Juneteenth: Celebrating Black Creators - Ranky Tanky raised their voices and took the world by storm, sharing the Gullah music and culture of the southeastern Sea Islands internationally.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Charleston-based quintet just won their first Grammy Award for Best Regional Roots Music Album for Good Time, and their first album, Ranky Tanky, was featured on NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross and the TODAY show. Ranky Tanky also soared to the #1 position on the Billboard, Amazon, and iTunes Jazz Charts.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Juneteenth: Celebrating Black Creators - I would have to say the best part of winning our Grammy Award was knowing that not only did we win the highest award achievement in music as a band for our contribution to music, but the fact that we made history for the Gullah Community by being recognized for the first time ever by the Recording Academy on music’s biggest night.</image:title>
      <image:caption>It kind of felt like, “mission accomplished” by just being nominated, but to leave with a win made it feel even better. This is just the beginning; there is so much more work to be done.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Juneteenth: Celebrating Black Creators - You know, as I look back over my life and the work that I’ve done, the people I’ve met, and what I’ve learned on this journey called life, I feel as though this was in alignment with where I was destined to be and destined to do.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Growing up, my mom always wanted me to become a teacher, and up until my Grammy win, she would hint around me teaching of some sort. So, it makes me feel good to finally be able to say, “Hey mom, I have an artist outreach program or a master class to teach today while we’re on the road.” It amazes me how many adults and students we meet who know of Charleston but not of the Gullah People and their contribution to a lot of the things we still enjoy now and forever. We intentionally leave a piece of our history wherever we entertain and educate around the world. It is indeed an honor to do so proudly.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Juneteenth: Celebrating Black Creators - I would love to see more people engaging in continuing the conversation and the honest history development of the Gullah Community. It is one that is embedded in all of us, and the more research you do, you will see there’s always been a piece of the Gullah Community in us, be it nursery rhymes, food, crafts, and even the way we worship, you just didn’t know their names.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is why I am proud to represent the Gullah Community and their rich history with my brothers in Ranky Tanky on this journey. I also do it for my son, who is a direct descendant of the Gullah people. We are proud; we are strong and mighty.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Juneteenth: Celebrating Black Creators - There is so much wisdom that my grandmother instilled me, which has transcended every area of my life from family values, family life, and helping to guide my spiritual foundation. I definitely credit her with the level of cooking skill set I possess.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I guess, most importantly, my grandmother was a quality time person who really took time to show genuine love and care. Whenever she would visit family and friends going through a death or a difficult time, she did day visits, not just stopping in for an hour or so. Not only this, but she would also arrive with a care package that included a homemade pound cake and other household essentials. I also like to plan meaningful and not just quick visits and arrive with a homemade cake when possible. Whenever I do this, I think my grandmother would be so proud.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Juneteenth: Celebrating Black Creators - I am what you call a double whammy:  female and a black business owner, and this makes it extremely hard to gain credibility.</image:title>
      <image:caption>My saving grace has been my determination and perseverance. Entrepreneurship is a passion for me, and I don't shy away from challenging situations but actually welcome them. When it boils down to it, I know I have the work ethic and stamina for entrepreneurship, and I deserve the opportunity to build a legacy for my family and community, just like entrepreneurs of other ethnicities.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Juneteenth: Celebrating Black Creators - Bouquets of fresh flowers are so much more than just colorful petals and stems: they’re a form of self-care, a symbol of whimsy, and a parcel of joy.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dani Motley, the founder and owner of Charleston’s mobile flower truck Salt + Stem, knows this better than anyone. She’s spent the last year wandering the Holy City with an adorable vintage truck full of stunning blooms, leaving a trail of smiles and hope in her wake.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Juneteenth: Celebrating Black Creators - In 2018 my Dad passed away, and it caused me to take account of my life. I was doing well professionally, dating a man I loved (and would marry), but I wanted to do something more, something that would help me align more with my passion. I have a creative spirit that does not tend to be nurtured in the structured corporate roles that I have taken during my career.</image:title>
      <image:caption>While evaluating the fullness of my life, I knew that I wanted to find something that allowed me to express the creative side of myself more. I also love connecting with the community here in Charleston, sharing in conversations and smiles. As soon as I came across the concept of a flower truck, I was instantly excited by it. My husband and I discussed the idea. He confirmed that this endeavor was something I could do, and he believed that I would do well at it. So together we jumped in- headfirst. Almost a year later, we're still figuring it out, it's still changing, and I still love every second of it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Juneteenth: Celebrating Black Creators - I really like the joy that I see on people’s faces when I deliver flowers to their special event. I also especially enjoy when someone comes to the truck, tells me they aren't talented enough to arrange flowers, and then they walk away with a beautiful bouquet that they made themself! It really helps to bring awareness to the abilities that you have but aren't giving yourself credit for!</image:title>
      <image:caption>There is no wrong answer when it comes to flowers. As long as you give yourself some grace, you walk away a little happier!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Juneteenth: Celebrating Black Creators - Here in Charleston, we so easily section ourselves off by this bridge or that bridge (I get it, 20 minutes is far). But I would love for this community to be welcoming of each other, take the opportunity to be kind to another human. Share someone else's perspective, even if you don't agree with it. Life is hard enough as it is without us making it harder on each other. Over this last year, I have met so many people. That is why we call ourselves a Wandering Flower Truck. We wander all over this town!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Thank you for saying that we're doing our part, so happy to hear that perspective. My hope is that everyone will continue to do their part. In whatever little way possible and at any given moment during the day. Maybe that's listening instead of speaking, maybe that's being kinder to yourself for a day, or maybe that's stopping at a little white, vintage Ford and picking up a few flowers for a friend.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Quiana Parler - There is so much to love about Quiana Parler, we don’t even know where to start.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This incredible Charleston-based artist is renowned for her exceptional, soulful vocal talents, but her personality and heart shine a light wherever she goes.  Most recently, Quiana stole our hearts on the stage at the 2020 Grammy Awards, joining her Ranky Tanky bandmates to accept their first Grammy for Best Regional Roots Music Album for Good Time, but this Lowcountry native has been belting out tunes since she was 8 years old and inspiring us for years. Today, we celebrate Quiana Parler’s power and voice, both on and off the stage, and we were lucky enough to score a couple of minutes of her time before we delve into 9 of our favorite things about Quiana.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I felt like I was on the Price is Right. Growing up watching the Grammy’s on TV, I always wondered how far away the winners were when their names were called and what it felt like to walk up those stairs. Never did I ever think I would get to have that experience. I am so grateful you have no idea. photo credit: Reese Moore Photography</image:caption>

      <image:caption>No grit, no pearl. You will not find a more hardworking vocalist than Quiana Parler. This hometown hero has been working the mic at Charleston music venues, events, and stages worldwide, making her one of the most sought after and beloved vocalists of the Lowcountry, and it made our hearts sing to watch Quiana take the stage at the Grammy’s for her first win with Ranky Tanky for their album Good Time. Did you know Quiana has actually performed on the stage for the Country Music Awards and the American Music Awards? What a thrill to watch her work ethic and fortitude pay off!</image:caption>

These days, Quiana is taking her roots on tour around the globe with her bandmates in Ranky Tanky, connecting with people across the world to share the beauty of the Sea Islands’ African American culture. photo credit: Celine Pinget</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Quiana Parler - She’s committed to the Lowcountry.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Somehow between traveling the world, playing sold-out shows, winning Grammys, and being a badass single mom, Quiana still finds time to support and promote local Charleston businesses. We love Quiana for her commitment to supporting local and never forgetting or celebrating where she came from. “I love supporting all local and homegrown women, especially Grit &amp; Grace,” Quiana explains. “Grit &amp; Grace was actually the first local woman-owned jewelry maker that I’ve worn since the beginning of Ranky Tanky.” This exceptional woman always makes time to lift up those around her, and we are grateful!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Quiana Parler - She puts family first.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Quiana is playing gigs worldwide and winning Grammys, but her first and most important job, unequivocally, is being a mom to her son Chamberlin. This single mom celebrates a close relationship with her son and speaks openly and with gratitude about the love and support she receives from her parents and brother. Her close-knit family is a touchstone and the foundation of her success and growth as an artist.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Quiana Parler - She supports black female designers.</image:title>
      <image:caption>When it came to what to wear to the Grammy’s, Quiana knew exactly what she wanted: to support a fellow woman of color and rock this incredible garment from Abeille Creations’ designer and artist Melissa Mitchell and designer and tailor Fhonia Ellis. The Atlanta-based Mitchell’s gorgeous, vibrant work resonated with Quiana, who looked fabulous in this finished jacket as Ranky Tanky won their first Grammy Award. Mitchell’s Instagram states, “@quianaparler of @rankytankymusic trusted little ol’ me to create an anointed look to win her first Grammy in. She had more than one person try to get in contact with me. I literally heard God say, “This is the one you will do”... So you can now add Grammy Award winning designer to my resume…. We did it @fhoniaellis! Thank you @quianaparler for trusting us!”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Walking with Grace: Quiana Parler - Quiana uses her voice on and off the stage.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Quiana has a powerful, magnetic presence, and she harnesses that energy both as a vocalist and as an individual. When she’s not driving home heartfelt song lyrics, she’s supporting the black community, local businesses, and causes close to her heart. Quiana explains, “A charity that’s close to my heart is MusiCares. MusiCares provides a safety net for musicians who are in need of a wide range of financial help.” Another charity that Quiana holds dear is SIMS Foundation, which provides mental health help and substance use recovery for artists and music industry professionals. Quiana adds, “I would love it if all of you would donate and support these two foundations, please!”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Grit &amp;amp; Grace Studio Staff Picks: Best Online Workout Videos - Whatever your exercise of choice, remember that self-care means so much more than working out, and it’s essential to your health.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Make sure you take some time for yourself amid the day’s seemingly endless tasks, even if you’re only able to spare ten minutes a day. Journalling can be a fantastic therapeutic release, and we all use our Sugarboo journals almost daily here at Grit &amp; Grace Studio.  Mediation is another of our favorite ways to practice self-care and wellness beyond our workout videos, so remember to quiet your mind and focus your vision. We love to carve out an intentional space for our practice, even if it’s in the living room, by lighting an oyster shell candle and spritzing Los Poblanos Lavender Mist as a treat for the senses.  One Love &amp; Blessings, The Grit &amp; Grace Family</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - From Grit to Pearl: 10 Reasons to Smile Around Charleston - Tuesday’s “Super Pink Moon” was the Biggest of 2020</image:title>
      <image:caption>This week the Lowcountry saw the biggest supermoon of the year! Super moons occur because the moon’s orbit around the Earth is an ellipse, and while the “Super Pink Moon” wasn’t actually pink in color (it’s so named because its appearance corresponds with early blooms of the pink Phlox moss), it certainly made for a beautiful night in the Lowcountry. Feed the Need Charleston partnered with Butcher and Bee, Mercantile and Mash, Indaco Charleston, and Macintosh Charleston to donate bags of groceries to some of the many hospitality workers heavily impacted by COVID-19 around the Lowcountry. As of today, they have delivered a whopping 1,475 bags of groceries so far, and your $10 donation will provide an entire bag of discounted groceries from a local farm.</image:caption>

      <image:title>85 Line St - We are so excited to host you, whether for your next Charleston vacation, work retreat or for one of our upcoming signature events (stay tuned!).  We designed our sweet cottage to feel more like a soothing, peaceful oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of downtown than a traditional Charleston Airbnb. Sink into the sofa with tea and a good book or hit the cobblestone streets to soak up all the history, culture, and cuisine the Lowcountry has to offer. The Grit &amp; Grace Cottage is your sanctuary, a restorative touchstone between your action-packed adventures.</image:title>

      <image:title>85 Line St - We’ve filled our cozy, contemporary Charleston Airbnb with artisan details, personal touches, and a beautiful selection of locally curated products, many of which are available for purchase during your stay! The 2-bedroom, 2-bath space sleeps 6 and boasts a fully equipped kitchen and eat-in dining room, a study, a sofa bed, and reserved off-street parking, a must-have in Charleston’s bustling downtown.  You’ll also love the commissioned mural by local Charleston artist Natalie Taylor, which emulates our beautiful Lowcountry waterways in a soothing palette of blues, pinks, and shimmering metallics.</image:title>

      <image:title>Mala Workshop - “When you find a group of women that are more than just a business and emulate all that you strive for in your daily life… working hard, walking through life with grace, living with a grateful heart and an open mind, spreading kindness, and looking for the light in all situations- it feels magical.</image:title>
      <image:caption>My daughters and I had the pleasure of attending a Mala Workshop with the amazing women at Grit &amp; Grace Studio in Charleston, SC. I highly recommend visiting them if you are in the area and checking out their website if you are far away. They are something special.” — Betsy M.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Mala Workshop - “There is a quote that describes creativity as sharing one’s soul with the world. The creation of the Mala Necklace is exactly this. You curate, deliberate, meditate, and reflect on each element of the design, and in the process, you become more and more in touch with your inner sense of being; you are manifesting a core energy that shines through the colors and formation of the jewelry.  This particular Mala Workshop was shared among ten inspiring, strong, uplifting women and friends, and it brought peace and a restorative sense of purpose to each of our spirits. The Mala is truly a powerful piece of art that shares your soul with the world!” — Gail S.</image:title>

      <image:title>Mala Workshop - “I loved learning about the origins of Mala Necklaces and the intention behind wearing them. The Mala Necklace consists of 108 beads. Each bead symbolizes a prayer or a mantra that one says to oneself. The necklace is meant to be used in meditation, which I felt throughout the process of making my own. I was so happy to see everyone in their creative element and the finished product at the end of the workshop.” — Locksley H.</image:title>

      <image:title>Mala Workshop - “The Mala Workshop was a true gift to my soul. It was time well spent with clear intentions, joy in my heart, divine creativity, sisterhood, renewal, and grace.

      <image:title>Mala Workshop - “This Mala Workshop challenged me creatively and spiritually. I brought a picture of my parents to think on while I assembled my prayer beads. This picture is one of my favorites; my mother has an arm looped around my dad and is cheesing away. I felt so blessed to be able to reflect on my family while creating my Mala Necklace. When I shared my experience with my mother, she told me she had been pregnant with me in the photo I brought to the workshop. I couldn't have asked for a more soul-happy moment!” — Clayr K.</image:title>

      <image:title>Mala Workshop - “For the past 25 years, I’ve sustained a tradition to celebrate my mom and daughter on my Born Day. Technically, I consider my date of birth to be my mother’s “birthday” since she was the one who gave birth to me. As you can imagine, after 25 years, it has become quite challenging to discover creative ways to honor these two extremely important women in my life. This year as I pondered, my lovely partner Rachel suggested that I make Malas for them, with each Mala specific to their personalities as it resonates with me. For me, this experience and these gifts are by far the most personal and spiritually edifying to date, and I believe the Malas were received as such knowing that they were actually created by me. These Malas represent such a fulfilling manifestation of my intentions and prayers for both my mom and my daughter.” — Quentin B.</image:title>

      <image:title>Mala Workshop - “I came into the Grit &amp; Grace space with an open heart and mind and was rewarded with welcoming energy and bustling excitement. From the opening prayers, the selection of beads, to the meditative bead stringing, I felt grounded, connected, and focused. My creativity was graciously fed with an array of stunning stones, beads, and charms to create something unique to me. Not only did I walk out with a beautiful and unique Mala, but with a feeling of happiness, a glow of positivity, and many beautiful memories!” — Kat H.</image:title>

      <image:title>Mala Workshop - “When I entered the studio, the workshop was refreshing and aesthetically pleasing. A beautiful tea party was set, candles were burning, meditative music playing, and the station was decorated with the various Mala beads, ready and waiting for us to partake!  We were encouraged to bring a memento of a loved one to honor during the workshop, and so I brought a photograph of my beloved grandmother who passed away from cancer three years ago, and having her there with me felt all the more special. I recommend that everyone, no matter what age or gender, participate in the magic that is MALA! I built a stronger bond with my tribe, and my grandmother was with me in spirit throughout the entire workshop. I couldn’t have asked for a more soul-satisfying experience!” — Stevie B.</image:title>

      <image:title>Mala Workshop - “I absolutely loved the Mala Workshop. The whole experience was magical from start to finish, an exquisite environment to relax and create. I loved setting the intention to tap into our inner genius to create freely and intuitively. The bead selections were out of this world gorgeous, and choosing them was so fun. I especially enjoyed the meditative practice of threading beads with other women while enjoying easy, connecting conversations. Seeing the unique beauty of what everyone created was incredible, and my favorite part was witnessing how everyone lit up when they put their creations on for the first time! It was such a great, heart-opening way to share time and energy. My Mala represents all of the wonderful memories made; a perfect keepsake and a great addition to my wardrobe!” — Jessica R.</image:title>
