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.

Unruly-Things.com includes Chivas in “Pretty Bath & Body Things”

We were delighted to see that Unruly-Things.com has included our Rosemary Fennel goat milk soap in her post on “Pretty Bath and Body Things.”  She picked each of the items from the amazing collection of paraben-free, cruelty-free beauty products at Terrain (Anthropologie’s sister-store near Philly).


And here’s what Terrain has to say, more specifically, about our Rosemary Fennel goat milk soap:

“Handmade in small batches on a family farm in coastal California, this rosemary fennel soap is crafted by a mother-daughter team. With the soft scent of rosemary, basil, and fennel, this bar contains poppy seeds for exfoliating, comfrey root powder to relieve irritation, and hemp seed oil to soothe dry skin. These fragrant soaps are all made using French Alpine goat milk, all-natural essential oils, and Fair Trade shea butter. Chemical free. 4.5 oz.”
.

This soap is part of our newest line of boutique goat milk soaps, and is only available at select stores, including Terrain’s unique store outside Philadelphia and Terrain’s on-line store.
