Swell Made Co.

Getting those last few things done before the weekend My power is out for 2 hours, so its an analog and coffee kind of morning. Maybe I should make this a regular thing. What about you? Do you prefer to work pen to paper some days?

FALLing hard for this new botanical shapes blanket Swipe to see the back! Its like two blankets in one. If youve had your on a blanket dont wait! These blankets are heading to cozy homes faster than you can say HYGGE. #stayhome #staycozy

Its good day to enjoy those golden fall colours

Theres not much happening inside the swell house at the moment other than chilling out, but its looking fresh outside The porch just got a refresh. Including a rebuild and new coat of paint to take this century home into 2020. Its the best place to have morning coffee and watch the rhythms of the neighbourhood Cooler temps mean blankets are necessary, though! Head to stories to see a close up of the blankets.

What simple things are you looking forward to this weekend? You know, the little things that bring you pure joy I cant wait to curl up with a blanket and read this book by @leissewilcox. Wine in hand Pssst - @leissewilcox and I worked together to create the You are Lovely collection available in the shop.

Were working on some new flowy fall pieces and cant wait to share them with you

Back in June, @apartmenttherapy asked Whats my best home secret? Collect items that you absolutely LOVE over timefrom travels near and far, antique/vintage markets, heirlooms, etc. If you dont love it, its not worth bringing it into your home. Slowly creating a personal collection will truly allow your personality to come through in a space and tell your story. Plus, its better for the planet and your pocket. Also, shop small. My favourite pieces ...come from local artists, makers and shops. Even if youre coveting a particular furniture or decor brand; you can source it through an independent retailer. Whats YOUR best home secret? See more

We don't need room for more stuff. We need more room for simple things like connection and joy

Embracing this cloudy fall day. Clouds are beautiful too Clouds are like feelings. You cant escape them. You have to embrace them. Even when you dont want to. To feel them and learn from them before moving on to sunny days. #selfcaresunday

Keep it simple Saturday

That was the longest short week there ever was. This calls for wine! Or, Champagne. Whatever you need to celebrate Friday.

Blankets The perfect fall companion because apparently its fall. Just like that. Are you ready for it? This best-selling rainbow blanket is back in stock and there are TWO new styles to share with you soon! Bring on blanket season and lets get cozy.

Things are a bit different at the swell house this week. School started for our kids yesterday and all seemed well until they were sent home today. The second day So, instead of having a clean and quiet kitchen today; were right back to the messiness of family life in a pandemic Were trying to roll with it (and rolling pizza dough tonight right here). Parents, this is hard and its not getting any easier. Take each day as it comes and hold each other tight. Be well, safe and hopeful.

Be Kind Kindness is meaningless without action. Be all of these: Be Anti-Racist Be Anti-Sexist Be Anti-Transphobic ... Be Anti-Homophobic Be Anti-Ableist See more

Be kind. Be bold. Be you. Send your kids to school (includes homeschool) with messages to remind them how awesome they are Truly. These kids deserve all the credit for living through this pandemic. None of us parents can say when I was a kid for this one. Its all theirs and my hope is that theyll be a more compassionate and fierce generation for it. Head to stories to download free lunch box notes for your kiddos

Fill your cup with this simple affirmation you are lovely Sets of pencils for flowing ideas and thoughts. Part of our collaboration with @leissewilcox #youarelovely

Have a swell long weekend Swell meaning excellent or very well expressed in the most endearing way. Swell also meaning to gradually increase over time as ripples to waves. One small act of compassion (for yourself and others) can create a powerful swell.... Enjoy those golden moments this last weekend of summer #swellthoughts #thatsswell #theswelllife

Our back-to-school list includes a safety kit this year Heres what they look like for our kids: A mask (or two) Hand sanitizer Tissues... A canvas pouch to keep it all together and everything labeled, of course. Plus, a little note to say I love you Stay safe, swell folks! See more

"Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons. - Jim Bishop Enjoy the little things as the air turns cool and the leaves turn gold. Sweaters and blankets are our fave. What are yours?

Scenes from the swell house ABCs never looked so good and Im not talking about this poster or that type (although lovely and classic). 6 months down and we are SO ready for structure and school. Are your kids going back or staying home? Either way, you are making the absolute best decision for YOU. #theswellhouse #swellthoughts

Happy September! It almost feels appropriate to say Happy New Year or How was your March Break? Whatever time feels like to you right now, theres no denying September feels like a fresh start. That same fresh feeling of starting a new journal or sharpening a new pencil. Those back to school feels even in our current reality. I hope your fall is full of hope, but dont forget to keep it simple. #keepitsimple

Hey, pals! Have you shopped with Swell Made Co.? Share some swell words about what you loved most so people, like you, can find us. Thank you! You're swell https://g.page/swellmadeco/review?rc

The swell life means DOING GOOD. Thats why a portion of our sales go to educating girls & supporting reproductive rights through Plan Canadas @biaagcan projects. Back-to-school will be different for everyone this year. As many Canadians weigh the challenging pros and cons of going back to school, 743 million girls are out of school globally and many in developing countries face the stark reality that they may NEVER return, even after the pandemic ends. ... Barriers to life-changing access to education include: Poverty Lack of safe bathrooms meaning girls miss school because of their periods Gender inequality Child marriage and early pregnancy Violence in school Long-distance to school meaning girls are at risk of violence or harassment Thank you for helping us contribute to projects that are centred on gender equality and helping girls (like mine and yours) get back to school.
