Dear Gracie Lee Fan Club Members,

Dear Gracie Lee Fan Club Members,

I like the way this is going so far.

Gracie Lee's Fan Club

I am so blown away by the way friends and family and people I’ve never met have embraced The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee. I don’t know what I expected, but I certainly didn’t expect such excitement. The fact that anyone takes time out of a beautiful spring day to attend a book signing makes me happy. But the number of people who have been to two and three books signings is astounding!

That’s a fan club, I think.

A wonderful surprise waited for me when I returned home to Fayetteville yesterdayContinue Reading

Craft: Seed Packet Party Favor

March 25, 2016 By Talya Tate Boerner 4 Comments

We southern girls are all about the party favor, am I right? The way I see it, if people will go to the trouble of coming to one of my book signings, they won’t be leaving empty handed. So in keeping with the whole GraceGritsGarden theme, I’ve been making seed packets for my next book signing in Little Rock. If you live in the area, I hope you’ll plan to join me at WordsWorth Books on Saturday, April 2 from 3:00 – 4:30. And if you do, you’ll leave with one of these little seed packets.

Paper Source Bicycle Garland

First of all, I’m required to tell you this Paper Source bicycle garland was provided to me free of charge, but as usual, opinions are my own. Second of all, since moving to Fayetteville, I’ll admit that I miss being able to pop into Paper Source at Northpark Mall. It was my go-to wonderland for cards and ink stamps and paper of all types. In other words, my paper source. Luckily, Shindig Paperie in Fayetteville carries Paper Source products (on a smaller scale), and thankfully on-line ordering is always available to those of us who enjoy shopping while baking cupcakes.

Anyhoo. When Paper Source offered my choice of items to fancy up my book signing party, I opted for the bicycle garland. After all, Gracie Lee’s main mode of transportation to and from the mysterious gray house was her bicycle.Continue Reading
