MAKE & GIVE WREATHS
Our most anticipated workshop of the year is here!
The marvelous Cozbi Jean Hultz will be returning again this year to guide us in creating and styling two different styles of artisan wreaths. We encourage our guests to give the second wreath to a friend, family, or the host/hostess at a holiday gathering to spread the love. But we wouldn't blame you if you want to keep both for yourself. ; )
As you know, we like to keep sustainability in mind, so a bonus is that with your newfound skill, you’ll be able to reuse the bases to make new wreaths year after year.
When:
Saturday, December 7
11:00am - 2:00pm
Join us for the most wonderful time.

There’s so much around self-care these days, but did you know that self-care is not just about rest, exercise, and bubble baths?
Creating art also decreases negative emotions, reduces stress and anxiety, and betters overall health. Being in community also does all those things and more. Do something good for yourself and join us for calligraphy with the talented Crystal of The Fancy Cat Studio and connect with others in real life!

Hello beautiful people! 👋🏼
Grace Kim (Founder) here. It’s been awhile... but I’m happy to say that we’re back and can’t wait to start seizing the day with you again.
Thank you for being loyal and sticking around.
The image above is a sneak peekaboo of our new space! Yes, a dedicated space to do all the things together! Stay tuned for more exciting new updates to come.
Hello friends,
We are excited to start this year's Collectives, but must temporarily pause to give some of our team members time to attend to urgent family matters.
It’s especially in times like these that the meaning of carpe diem and what our company stands for is ever so poignant, and we hope you will continue to experience life to the fullest with your loved ones.
We'll let you know once we're ready to announce the next Collective and can't wait to start seizing the day with you again.
Thanks and carpe diem,
Grace, Hun, Matt, Tim, and Veda
Happy New Year!
As Honest Abe simply said, "It's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years." So here's to 2016... a life full of
MORE EXPERIENCES, LESS THINGS
MORE LOVE, LESS JUDGMENT
MORE COURAGE, LESS FEAR
MORE INTENTION, LESS INDIFFERENCE
MORE CARPE DIEM
From our Carpe Diem family to yours, wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
#carpediemcollective
In lieu of a Collective this month, our team decided to go out and do something meaningful together. So we volunteered at Seattle's Union Gospel Mission/Hope Place where we cleaned, prepped, and served lunch for homeless women and children. We enjoyed meeting some wonderful people, we bonded over hairnets and french fries, and our hearts were expanded. What an honor to serve! #carpediem #carpediemcollective

Thanksgiving was founded on the simple act of people coming together to celebrate life, and that’s such a big part of our heart and what we do. So thank you for being, making, learning, laughing, eating, and seizing the day with us!
With love and gratitude,
the Carpe Diem team
