LINTELS + LALLIES BLOG

Awhile ago I mentioned a deeply personal gift I got my hubby for our anniversary.  With Valentine's Day around the corner, I thought I'd share this unique gift with you. Below is an abstract canvas by "Voice Art Gallery".   Just like thumbprints, each of us has our own unique voice and when viewed in sound waves no two are alike. Voice Art Gallery has put this into a beautiful work of art.  You can record and upload anything...a baby's first heartbeat,  sing a song, read a poem, you name it!  You can even customize the size, color & frame. So how do you read it?  Each print comes with a certificate/link you can even get a QR code that your iPhone can scan and it will play your recording! Sorry folks, I'll never share what my message was, but you can see it framed below! To learn more, make your own or visit the friendly staff at: http://www.voiceartgallery.com

So, today I’m going to share with you a little secret…a delightful site I stumbled upon during one of my random Google searches… It is called The Grommet .   The site is a big platform that features unique items made by real folks – many products even have fun videos that build a natural connection between the consumer and the product innovator.   It’s such a friendly way to shop!   With that connection, you feel like you are making a small difference to help support someone’s creativity and dream. I spent a little too much time on this site, (is there such a thing?!) but I’m proud to say that I also got a huge portion of my Christmas shopping done in August-whoo-hoo! The Grommet , brings amazing products from all over to your fingertips.   There is something for everybody.   The videos make it like a friendly ‘Shark Tank’ buying experience. (One of my favorite TV shows by-the-way). Here’s a little video about who they are& be sure to check out...
