Begin the new year on a happy note with extra-special goodies that celebrate color and pattern! We’ve had so much fun curating this month’s box featuring an original (!) signed painting from Nashville-based artist Scott Hughes, a hand-beaded headband from Ink + Alloy, shimmery statement earrings from Lisi Lerch to perk up winter outfits, and a joyfully printed apron from Elisamama (a must-have for whipping up a Valentine’s Day treat for your loved ones!). If you’re not already a member, head over to the Creative Club website to score your Happy Mail box today…January sign ups close this Wednesday, January 19th!

Scott Hughes

Nashville-based artist Scott Hughes specializes in painting and photography, and his colorful paintings quite literally stole our hearts! Scott’s been passionate about creating visual imagery ever since the sixth grade, when he received his first camera and started snapping photos! His work explores a variety of mediums and surfaces, and we’re simply smitten with Scott’s use of bright, bold hues! We believe every room needs a pop of color, and that a grid of these hearts makes a fabulous gallery wall! Scott is generously offering a special discount for Besties members to expand their red heart painting into a complete set…use code P&P300 for major savings on a trio of teal, light blue and navy hearts! Plus, you can also click here to purchase all four heart paintings together, and find more of our favorite pieces by Scott in the gallery below!

Ink + Alloy

You know we’re always delighted to discover great female-founded brands, and recently we’ve had a huge crush on all of the fun accessories designed by Ink + Alloy! As fellow Southerners based in Atlanta, they’re on a mission to empower and bring joy to women through easy-to-wear pieces that make a stylish statement! We love how they’ve updated traditional techniques like intricate hand beading with a twist of modern flair! The team designs everything at their Atlanta studio, and then every product is either hand made in-house or by artisans in India. Their discerning eye for sourcing materials across the globe translates into a well-traveled look we can’t get enough of…be sure to browse our latest Ink + Alloy crushes below!

Elisamama

Elisamama’s founder Fisayo is a native of Nigeria and mother of three, and her brand was born from a desire to create beautiful (yet comfortable!) children’s clothing and give back to the local community. She’s since expanded the business into women’s wear and home accessories…and while we were first drawn to Elisamama by its color + pattern-happy aesthetic, we soon learned there is so much more to love about this brand! Each product is handmade by artisans in Nigeria, as it’s Elisamama’s continuous goal to provide a pathway out of poverty through jobs and skills training at their workshop. What could be better than wearing stylish clothes that make a positive difference in the lives of the individuals who made them? Don’t miss out on more Elisamama favorites in the gallery below!

Lisi Lerch

Lisi Lerch’s career began on Wall Street, but a fruitless search for affordable Kentucky Derby style hats inspired her to dive into the fashion world. After a few years in business Lisi began to dabble in jewelry design, and fell in love with presenting big style in small packages! Lisi now offers a wide range of jewelry, and we’re especially smitten with her vast selection of statement earrings…there’s truly something for everyone! In addition to cheerful baubles and hats, Lisi also makes super cute and customizable(!) handbags…be sure to browse all of the darling ways to dream up your own perfect mix here, and check out more of our favorite Lisi Lerch styles below!
