The past month has been a slower month for us. We’ve had family visiting and then more rounds of sickness making its way through the family. We’ve been plugging along with new products and ideas and trying to find the time for making them too. If you’ve been following along on our social media, you’ll have noticed […]

We’re days away from our first show of the year. It seems like just yesterday we were going to Christmas shows. It’s amazing how time seems to speed up the older you get. We hope to see you this year at many of the places we’ll be. This coming Saturday we’ll be at the Thompson Falls Senior […]

Today is a big day (March 23). Today marks 10 years since FGG Designs was formed! It’s fun to look back that far and see where we came from. Ten years ago, Jonathan and Lydia were still living in California and Shaun and Elisabeth in England. As the newest artisan, Shaun had only just started his woodcarving […]

We’re continuing on in the slow months of Winter, or as Shaun has come to call it this year: “Faltering” (Get it? FALl, winTER, sprING?) It has been a pretty bizarre winter here in NW Montana. We’ve had such a small amount of snow and very comfortable temperatures. Just this last week we have had a few […]

How is it that the first month of the year is almost done already? We had a much needed break over Christmas and New Year, but we’re back at it working away for all the upcoming shows and events this year. We can never seem to get “ahead,” but we’re coming to terms with “we do what […]

The year is coming to a close and we are beyond blessed and grateful for how the Lord has grown our business this year! We’ve had two of our all-time best shows within the Christmas season and even beyond the shows, you keep coming back for more. Our hearts are full and we’re speechless for how you’ve […]

And so it begins…we’ve had two shows behind us and three more to go, and it’s been an incredible start already this season. In fact, our very first Christmas show turned out to be our all-time best show (so far). We had set a goal last year that we were hoping to reach, and we came $20 […]

It has been so nice (and needed) to have no shows in October. We had a few more Farmers Markets at the beginning, but those are done for the season. That means, we’ve been working hard on stocking up for the Christmas shows. A new change for us this year: we’ve been asked to organize the Cornucopia […]

Happy Autumn! We love this season, but it also means Christmas is very close. There’s usually not a lot of shows or Markets happening in October, which is perfect for us because that’s our chance to stock up on all the products we’ve sold through the summer. This year will be no different. We’re so thankful for […]

During the winter, as we started planning the year ahead with all the shows and events it would hold, we kept contemplating whether to participate in the Farmer’s Markets. Because our products take a lot of time to make, we didn’t want to risk selling out during the summer just to rush more products for the busy […]
