Twitter connects Terrain, Dallas Shaw & Chivas
September 23, 2010 Written by LaurenJ
One of the many reasons I love using Twitter is that I get to connect with people from all over the country. I recently e-met artist/designer Dallas Shaw because we both follow @ShopTerrain – an Anthropologie sister-store in Pennsylvania (learn more about Terrain here).

I follow Terrain because it carries Chivas’s brand-new line of boutique goat milk soaps (and a bazillion other crafty/cool home and garden products); Dallas does because she’s a huge fan of their incredible 5-acre with an organic nursery, café, home store, wellness area and garden shed. I have not yet had the pleasure of visiting Terrain in person, so I was curious to learn more about the store from Dallas. Here are some pictures of a recent bridal show she took part in there (see her bridal illustrations in the last photo). Beautiful, no?

If you like her style (as DesignSponge, Daily Candy, Oh Joy!, Poppytalk, and Free People have) you can follow Dallas’s “visual-candy” blog with eye-popping images of fashion, design, and other creative inspirations. And if you want to see more of her artwork, as well as her collaborations “with the likes of DKNY, Dace, Vaute Couture, and American Eagle, complimenting their brands with fashion sketches, custom designs, and vintage wallpaper store displays,” visit www.dallasshaw.com.
If you want to see our new boutique soaps and do not live near Pennsylvania, you can also find them at Terrain’s on-line store. They carry our Lavender Oatmeal goat milk soap and our Rosemary Fennel goat milk soap.
