Give us a follow @FERNWEHHOME & lets be friends

Last year my friend and I tried to visit this amazing sunflower maze I was hearing all about around town and we showed up and all the flowers were dead 😂 my.life. Tonight my mom, sister and I redeemed the trip with literally thousands of flowers in full bloom. Really hard to do justice In photos and my squinty eyes and gallons of sweat everywhere did not help but sometimes the memory is enough 😉 have a happy weekend friends!
One of my favorite things about reclaimed wood is that it is so beautifully perfect In the most imperfect way. We take these boards that are dirty, stained and honestly considered junk to some and with a little love and care they become something totally new. There's this moment when I sand the pieces where you can literally watch them transform before your very eyes. The dirt and stains become beautiful markings and rough edges turn into smooth intricate grains. I always feel like there is something almost poetic about this process. Maybe because so many things In life can be like this: people, relationships, sadness etc. I'm no gifted writer but If you've read the book Love Does by Bob Goff I have a feeling he could make this into the most beautifully poignant metaphor ✨
Lots of new Falsa Blankets = lots of Falsa Blankets to tag 😳 can't wait for you guys to see all the new colors! And I need your help! Officially launching on Monday but which is better morning or evening? ALSO always loving my custom tags from @companykind ! American made from recycled bamboo and I love being able to support another small business. Such a fun touch ❤️
PSA new Falsa Blankets will be here within the week! we've been mostly sold out for a while but there will be one final restock of some summer favorites + brand new colors! And then comes fall my most favorite season and Falsas galore and some other real fun super secret things I can't share quite yet 😉 also a big thank you to everyone who read my last post, we are already generating some funds for her trip! (You can read all about it at the link in profile ❤️) 📸 @_fernwehphotography_
MAJOR PSA!! So this 👆🏼👆🏼 amazing gal and friend from college has said YES to serving with an organization called Surf for the Nations in Hawaii staring this September. The thing is it's 100% volunteer work and she's not quite sure how she's going to get there. I think it's truly amazing when people take big chances and say YES to their calling even when all the pieces aren't quite lining up and it's so important to support that!! SO she and I are teaming up starting now - August I will personally be donating $5 from each sale to support her journey! All I ask is you take the time to read her story and keep her in your thought and prayers ❤️ here are just a couple thing about her and you can read her full story on my website / blog. And be sure to check out @m3lideli Because she is one talented, kind and inspiring human!! 🌿 Hi! If you're reading this right now I would love to just take a minute + introduce myself. My name is Melanie Woodruff, but you can call me Mel. I'm a hardcore dreamer; I'm the kind of person that has way too many visions and passions to do just one/even know where to begin. I'm also a lover of chocolate chip cookies, Jesus Christ, my family + friends, riding bikes, dancing, and jamming my heart out to my Spotify playlists. I'm a creative, if you will, mainly loving working on graphic design/hand-lettering pieces, and also taking pictures (NO, I am NOT a photographer, but man do I love capturing the moments that I want to bottle up for the rest of my life...if you need a photographer though, hmu, I know a few solid ones.) Some other random facts just to know about me include: 1. I believe in good company + delicious food, preferably enjoying both at the same time. 2. Dogs...need I say more. 3. High School Musical all the way baby. (never not swooning over Troy Bolton, can I get an amen?)
Sooo I just now realized that over the weekend we topped 700 Etsy sales in 1 year!! 🎉 sometimes I'm hesitant sharing these milestones bc I always overthink everything and don't want to be a humble brag 🙈 but It's important to sometimes just stop and appreciate the journey and take a sec to pop the champagne 🍾😂 Fernweh has come a long way from the half baked idea born from desperation and $3 at my kitchen table (although I do still frequently work from said table) 😉 I know this sounds like a cliche but a sincere thank you to everyone who has supported my business! It's given me the freedom to create the lifestyle I desired and I will forever be grateful for that. I think the best is yet to come! xxx
