7 GOLD & GRAPHITE GOODS

Painting has always been one of Jill Atogwe’s greatest joys in life. As a child she spent all her free time aside from school and sports with a brush in hand, tearing pages out of magazines and putting books in the copy machine to stockpile images that inspired her. I got my degree in Fashion Merchandising and Fine Art, was positive I'd paint every day of my life, and then became a mother. God has so graciously shown me we have to make time for the things we love and the passions He's placed on our hearts because we'll never just find extra time lying around to use up. I hope my artwork brings a smile to your face and brightens up your home or workspace!  Mugs, watercolor prints, gift tags, hand lettered quotes. etsy.com/shop/GoldandGraphiteGoods

Phillip & Megan Chapman are a screen-printing husband & wife duo from Byhalia, MS. They own Along Came A Cub, a small business ran+operated in their very own backyard shop! What began as a desire to be a stay at home Mama Bear to her first cub grew into something bigger than her heart could have ever dreamed. Ephesians 3:20 tells us that the Lord is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us. Their prayer for this business is that lives be transformed by the gospel, His message be taken to the ends of the earth, & that ultimately He will receive the glory from every single T-shirt that leaves their shop. He must increase, we must decrease [John 3:30]. To view their products, hop on over to www.alongcameacub.com

2 JUNE BUG DESIGNS

Born and raised in Memphis, TN, Megan is a Southern girl through and through.  She wears many hats...wife to Justin, mom to Lyla June, teacher, designer, artist, and lover of life.  She gains inspiration from everyday life, southern surroundings, and Her Creator, who has graciously blessed her with these talents. 

Megan's Dad played a huge role in the establishment of June Bug Designs, which is named after her daughter, Lyla June.  After cutting and playing with old scrap wood, he gave Megan a plaque, as they refer to them today.  She painted what inspires any Mom...her family!  A lover of anything custom, these "family plaques" quickly caught on and she started customizing for other beautiful families.  "Every family has their own story to tell, this is my way of starting the conversation," says Megan.

The line has expanded to an array of plaques, including unique kid art to a family's special mantra or verse painted on reclaimed and repurposed wood.  These plaques reside in homes from coast to coast.
