A BABE IN THE WOODS

Woodland inspired baby shower styled by Home Gig

Tucked deep in the forest of Corpus Christi, Texas a group of friends from all over the state gathered to give their friend her baby shower.....

 We were thrilled when they asked Home Gig to design the paper materials and style the event! We designed everything from scratch to coordinate with the Babe in the woods themed event. This rustic outdoorsy camping-themed party included details such as burlap-embellished mini lanterns, packaged smore’s for later, fox themed invitations, welcome forest friend sign, wishes for baby and more. We used small pine trees and foxes to add extra flair to diaper cake. The games were unique and functional. There were paper foxes with “wishes for the baby messages’,  Price is right, Don’t say Baby game with Fox clips, and Guess that Smell. 

Bite size foods prepared by the hosts included a buffet of sweet and savory dishes and arrow skewer donut holes. Using strictly wooden bowls and platters we mainly relied on the DIY cake plates made from sliced tree and included a full signage package for all the food and drinks.

And don’t forget the forest favors! Sunflower grow kits in sweet terracotta planters, perfectly coordinated with the invitation suite.

We loved the opportunity to work with this client, but most of all, to meet her family and friends who were so lovely and enthusiastic. We can’t wait to meet Asher and welcome him into the world. Thanks for including Home Gig in such a joyous event!

New Year, New Opportunities!

In addition to another year marketing with clients Murdick’s Fudge Martha’s Vineyard, we are thrilled to announce new projects at Home Gig for 2016.

Event Styling:

This year brings additional work with special events and event styling with projects including a Summertime Wedding, a Spring Baby Shower and a Fall Bat Mitzvah. Themes we are working on include Baby Elephants, Forest Theme (we see foxes and raccoons in our future!) and a barn theme Bat Mirzvah – we like the idea of a “Ben’s Barn Mitzvah”.

Property Refreshers

We continue to be inspired by the beauty that surrounds us. The winter months bring travel to the Florida Keys to work on design upgrades to our client’s winter home and to Waterville Valley, NH to work on refreshing a ski cabin for our North Shore clients.

Are you passionate about beautiful Gardens?  At Home Gig we are super excited to be working with our new clients at Garden-Folly tours. Deserving of Bucket List Status, Garden-Folly tours provides intimate and luxurious travel tours focusing on the finest gardens throughout Italy, France and England.

Happy Holidays from Home Gig

This year Home Gig is all about nostalgia. While archiving old photos and creating homemade heirloom crochet gifts for friends and family, we are enjoying the holidays while keeping busy with Home Gig’s exciting new projects for 2015.

Lauren has been staging our client’s house for sale in the West Newton as well as decorating and accommodating our clients holiday needs. From shopping to holiday installations, it’s been an eventful season all around, filled with traditional touches and festive layers of green, red, and gold.

Eivar has been working on branding for our client Eternity Clothing Line which has been extremely stimulating and challenging at the same time. She has been keeping busy completing custom holiday and wedding invitations while working on fine-tuning our client’s website.

Together we are working on Home Gig’s new appearance which will be launch in 2015.

On Stylegig’s wish list this year we are showcasing the many handmade artistic items we have enjoyed making and some of the charity work Home Gig has been supporting; including St. Jude Foundation, Wounded Warrior Foundation and the MSPCA.

Since Home Gig has been extra good this year, we couldn’t resist including some of the gifts we lust after, but love and family is all the presents we need.
