thread update!

A few months ago I gushed about my little bro and his amazing company, Thread, here on TGL. 

Remember this post? 

I know I know, how could you forget?

Anyway, y'all helped me celebrate their successes big time by sharing, liking, spreading the word about the great work they are doing to help our human family and mama earth. I'm still super grateful for your support, and to this day will get the good-vibe-feels when I think about how lucky I am to have readers who genuinely give a hoot.

I thought it was high time I shared a bitty update on Thread, mainly because:

1. It's the holidays! And these babies make awesome gifts (check out the newest style!)

2. Our winner of the first contest was gracious enough to share pics of herself rocking the bag, and I never got around to posting them (Hey girl hey, you're lookin good!).

3. I loved doing the giveaway so much that I'm thinking I might just need to do another one sometime soon....

Thanks so much, Alaina, for sharing these pics!

In other Thread news, I was so excited to see them get a little love from Pittsburgh Magazine recently:

And finally, this blog from Frankito (boyfriend to sister/pseudo bro) makes me extra proud to be a Penn Stater.

"Your twenties are a war of attrition. Every spare emotional and intellectual moment will be spent dreaming and doubting: What if I don’t get this job/promotion? Is this city where I want to spend the rest of my life? Should I get a dog?

Most of all, you’ll be afraid to fail. Don’t be.

Contrary to what you believe today, you have time to correct a poor decision or two. Human history is filled with people that gave the fear of rejection and failure the one-finger salute and tried, failed, tried, failed, tried, and succeeded...

Set out to tell your hypothetical grandkids cool stories and you’ll be okay."

love and light,

Trish
