Today, the road is calling. 🖤🏍️

Today is Kyle’s Mile Ride — a day dedicated to supporting those who are struggling and reminding others that their life matters.

In honor of today’s ride, Olive & Ember has donated this “The Road Is Calling…” U.S. Map piece to be auctioned off, with 100% of proceeds going toward su***de awareness and prevention. 🖤

This piece feels especially fitting for today. Every road, every mile, every destination carries a story — and sometimes the most important thing we can do is make sure someone doesn’t have to walk their road alone.

If you’re able, please come out to Wild Hog Saloon & Eatery this afternoon, bid, donate, share, or simply help spread the message:

You matter. Your story matters. Stay for another mile. 💜🩵

✨ THE WAIT IS OVER ✨

You’ve seen the little hints… you’ve watched the teasers… and now it’s finally time to tell you what we’ve been working on.

🧵🌿 THREAD & TIMBER 🌿🧵

Our newest Olive & Ember collection is bringing together two of my favorite things: embroidery + timeless, rustic handmade pieces.

Think cozy linens. Little works of art. Thoughtful gifts. Seasonal pieces. Keepsakes you’ll want to display year after year.

And honestly? This collection feels especially me.

There’s just something about creating during cozy season that I love. Cool nights, snuggled into the couch by the fire, wrapped up in my favorite blanket, dreaming up something with my hands and imagining where these little heirloom pieces will eventually end up.

Maybe in someone’s cozy kitchen.
Maybe hanging on a wall.
Maybe tucked away and brought out every fall or Christmas.
Maybe passed down someday to someone who will know exactly who made it. 🤎

That’s what I want Thread & Timber to be about.

Pieces made slowly. Made intentionally. Made to become part of your story.

And this is just the beginning…

👀 The first Thread & Timber pieces will be heading to Local. PaloVERY soon.

So tell me…

Did you guess it?! 👇
And which piece are you hoping to see first? 🧵🤎

🍂 FALL IS COMING TO OLIVE & EMBER 🍂

We’re kicking off our Fall Collection with something a little more… chunky. 🤎

Introducing our new Layered Pumpkin Collection — handcrafted from multiple layers of wood to create that substantial, dimensional look we love. Each piece is laser cut, layered, assembled, and finished by hand right here in Iowa.

From Hello Fall and Sweater Weather to BOO, Gather, Give Thanks, and more… these pumpkins are made to bring a little warmth to your shelves, mantels, tiered trays, and cozy corners all season long. 🎃🍁 Look for these to be hitting shelves soon at Local. Palo

And now we have an Olive & Ember asks question for you:

🍂 WHEN DO YOU START DECORATING FOR FALL?

🍁 As soon as September hits
🎃 The minute August is over 😂
☕ When the weather starts feeling like fall
🧡 I’m already decorating!

Tell us in the comments — we want to know when fall officially begins at your house! 👇
