Figs & Ginger

Figs & Ginger from John Carl on Vimeo.



Just got word of this sweet little video on Figs & Ginger one of our participants at Poppytalk Handmade this month. A group of BFF's called DuckDuck Collective were asked by Levi Strauss to go on a road trip for 30 days to 30 cities filming one story each day of people around America (talk about a cool gig). One evening last summer they wound up meeting Elijah and Rhonda Wyman, who just happened to run their own eco-friendly jewelry business, which, as it turns out, is quite interesting. They spent the next day with them (and Crash-Dog!) and this video is their story. We love their pink holiday trailer turned studio! You can see Figs & Ginger's work here and here.

Love their studio concept and love their work. A dear friend gave me a necklace of theirs and it's one of my favourites- also one I get lots of compliments on!

My husband bought me their little bird earrings last year for Mothers Day. They are so beautiful. I have super sensitive skin and they never irritate. I hope to save up for one of those necklaces :)

Loved this video. I have a coupe of pairs of earrings from Figs & Ginger, and they are some of my favorites! Plus, I've talked to Rhonda and Elijah several times at craft shows, and they are so friendly and nice.
