Well Hello There

Welcome to Beyond The Grommets: the wonders, wanders and what-nots from The Gift Wrap Company Design Studio. Catchy huh?! We are a diverse group of six cheeky young ladies who design all the products found in The Gift Wrap Company’s range (lovingly referred to here on out as TGWC, I hope you can appreciate the short and sweet!).

Referred around the company as “The Boston Studio” in actuality we are not in Boston proper but rather about 40 miles west in a little town called Northborough. Day in and day out we work together (and quite well I happily report) to keep the product line fresh, be innovative and most importantly to create fun designs you all will love to see adorning our products.

So please check in and enjoy our ramblings while we attempt to inspire, educate and maybe even enlighten about the little bits and bites that happen
beyond the grommets.

Wednesday What-Nots : Fall In Love

I am just fascinated with Fall! Up until last year, I had never experienced a proper New England Fall. I grew up in tropical climates most of my life, so I didn’t get to see the leaves change, or go apple picking, or bundle up to the crisp autumn temperatures.

A collection of my favorite fall items.

Fall Favorites

The first day of Fall is this Friday, September 23rd. As I drive to work everyday, I’m noticing more trees making their wardrobe change from summer greens to autumn golds. It actually makes the commute a little more enjoyable, believe it or not! :)

Taking a cue from last year, I’ve collected a few things that make me Fall In Love:

1: Leaf Peeping (image credit) / 2: Apple Cider Doughnuts! / 3: Pretty Pumpkins / 4: New Fall Shows and the return of old favorites / 5: Head Warmers / 6: Colorful Coats / 7: Boots – I have these in gray, and I kinda want them in this color, too!

What are your favorite things about Fall?

I am a designer and the resident foodie in our Boston office. Since moving up from Florida in 2010, I think I have adapted quite nicely to the New England lifestyle. For example, I have since become a wicked aggressive driver (so unlike my sweet nature) and I also have a new appreciation of 60 degree temperatures (ahhh, SO refreshing!). When I'm not at work, I enjoy exploring all the great neighborhoods in and around Boston with my husband, trying out new places using the many Groupons I obsessively acquire, and stalking Weezer – my favorite band in the whole wide world.
