My Instagram Weekly Round Up – Self Care, True Time, and a Big, Exciting Move!

I'm obsessed with Instagram – it's my favorite online home! Here's a recap of my week, and for those of you who aren't on Instagram, come and join me!

Friday January 9


We. Are. Home. Loved our CA vacay, but I've never been happier to crawl in bed. I've got full-on sickies over here. Xxo friends. See you on the flip side. #kellyraeshome
Saturday January 10

I've sleeping for hours and hours. Finally got up for more meds and a change of location on the couch. Meanwhile John went to the store for more drugs, fluids, and surprised me with a load of decor mags to keep me busy and lift my spirits. I am so thankful. #awesomehusband #thoughtful #theflu



Another photo from the #Atlantamart from @demdaco. Loving these updates. Show is still happening through the weekend! #kellyraeroberts #productswithsoul

Monday January 12

Feeling a teensy bit better today. One spoonful of this lemon, honey, and ginger concoction mixed in hot water = good for the sickies. Hope your Monday is off to a good start friends. I think I'm going to declare Feb 1 as the new Jan 1. Until then, I'm taking it eeeeaaaassyy.


True likes to write his classmate friends notes when he's not there. This was the note he had me dictate today and send via email. He decided to add "love" before and after his name. Thought that was super cute. Also like how he sold me out as the one who got the whole family sick. Love this kid. #trueelioorlando

Tuesday January 13


Finally feeling like I might be on the other side of it. Excited to dive into a little bit of work. Decided to get #dressedupinjoy for the small celebration on felling better. Hooray! This tunic pattern is from #indigojunction and big thanks to my mom for sewing it for me. #thewearyourjoyproject


A reminder to myself. A love note for you. Feel free to tag a friend or two you want to send this to. I'm tagging @matirose @brenebrown and @andreascher @lacylike Xxo #whatyoudomatters #sendlove


My version of True on the left. His on the right. His is waaaay cuter. #thoseears #trueelioorlando

Wednesday January 14


I moved out of my shared studio space (#soulshinestudio --> scroll to the bottom for the our studio pics) last May and have been without a true creative space since. Everything has been in storage minus a few essentials. I have to say that between moving homes last year along with the studio move along with big (good) transitions in my business, including new employees (who I LOVE), I have been feeling a little unmoored, like I've been in a holding pattern. The good news? We get keys this week to my new studio which is an old large (almost 900 sq feet!) classroom in an historic, renovated high school from the 1800s! Here's the "before" shot. Note the original chalkboards and huuugggee windows. Floor is being painted teal as I write this. Friends, I can feel in my bones that these last few months were necessary building blocks of slow and steady movement and waiting. And now with this new space I can feel it's time to up the volume. I am crazy excited. I'll share the progress of the space as it unfolds. It's gonna be gorgeous. I can feel it. #kellyraesstudio


You guys. Sneak peek of a couple of our new scarves. They are so deliciously artful and soft. I have loved all the scarves we've made but these take the cake. I'm doing a happy dance. They will make their way out into the world in a couple months. I love making products with meaning. I really really do.

Thursday January 15


Savoring these last couple of days of working from home. This was a cozy spot in the living room by the fire. Ahhhhhh. #kellyraeshome

Annnnnd we have teal floors. Are you worried? Stick with me. I have a vision! Up next: loads of string lights. #kellyraesstudio

Because who doesn't play the drums in their queen elsa costume? #lovethiskid #trueelioorlando

Friday January 16


Double tap if you're with me! I've been thinking so much about traveling light. Hard to do when the layers of life pile up, but I'm determined to only carry what is mine, and let the rest go. Here's to breath, courage, and traveling light. Xxo


You guys. The light. The light! And the original IBM school clock. #sigh Today we bought a couple vintage wooden teacher desks. String lights go up tomorrow. Move in day is Monday. Eeek. #kellyraesstudio

That's it for this week! Check back here next week for another update, or join us over on Instagram for daily photos and thoughts!
