Christmas time is here and it feels especially sweet this year. We finally had the chance to slow down and celebrate with our community in our little Santa Barbara studio that truly feels like home.
What makes this place so special is the way life and work come together here. Our coworkers are our friends. Many of them are our family members. It’s a rare kind of thing built on trust, shared values, creativity, and showing up for one another.
Gathering around a table together felt like a quiet acknowledgment of what we’re all building. Thoughtful work. A supportive community. A space rooted in collaboration and intention. Taking the time to pause, reflect, and share gratitude made this season feel especially full. Merry Christmas.
A room is only as warm as the people who fill it, and a business only as good as the people who keep it going. Last week, we had the joy of celebrating those people around a very long table. We laughed, we cried, we celebrated.
The reality is, some of us spend more time together than we do with our own families. We’re as invested in each other as we are in these businesses.
Thank you for supporting small businesses. Every time you do, you help sustain an entire ecosystem of people behind the scenes making it all happen.
Thank you to @studiobyappointmentonly for co-hosting our team holiday dinner in the same beautiful space where @shopjakeandjones shoots weekly with @posesawkwardly . A huge shout-out to @laurenbronstaddesign for designing the tablescape of our dreams, illuminated by @gloam_goods , and to @revolversb for feeding the masses. We love our @shoptheeddy , @shopjakeandjones , and @studiobyappointmentonly teams and are so proud of what we build together.
It truly takes a village, and we’re so grateful you’re part of ours.
Happy holidays from our teams to you.
