Welcome to the Upcycle Adventure !

Hi Everyone,
​I'm Stephanie, owner & designer of Lavender & Slate !

​Join me on this little blog adventure as I take you behind the scenes of Lavender & Slate to explore each up-cycle adventure that goes into our products.

​You'll see first hand the love & attention (sometimes, possibly too much, I'm a perfectionist!) that it takes to create each lovely bracelet, versatile choker, and mini zip pouch.

Since we're starting from the beginning, this is me as a baby ! 
​And grandpa (a huge inspiration behind L&S). If you guess the year, I"ll give you a free bracelet, how about that !

Get ready for loads of these super up close photos of ruined manicures !

​I'll also share the many inspirations (emotional, spiritual, & the classic "what am I doing with my life") that fueled the start of Lavender & slate, and most importantly the ones that keep the iron it, sew it, bead it, fray it, hustle going day after day. 

Super excited (psych - nervous) to open the doors to "how it's made"! I'm new to this...all of it...blogging (let's be real, grammar...), sharing the concept to creation process & starting a solo small business from scratch !

And as a gift to you guys, watch out for hidden opportunities to win a Lavender & Slate bracelet in each entry ! First answer, gets it, and i'll announce the winner via Instagram. Email your answers here & be sure to follow us on Instagram @lavender.and.slate.
