For The Love Of The Grain

09/29/2026

Well… I said I was making another 30, but I got a little crazy and made almost DOUBLE that! 😂

Our winter “Friend Blocks” are officially making their debut! ❄️
They’ll be available at:
📍 Grand Lodge Market
📍 The Collective Boutiques Cincinnati
📍 Sycamore High School Show (Nov 14th)
📍 Milford High School Show (Dec 5th)

We may have gotten a little carried away with the woodland friends… but honestly, I’m not mad about it. 🐻🦌🐰🦉

So — which one would you take home? 👇
And yes… you have to pick ONE! 😂

P.S. There may be a couple of special Christmas Friend Blocks making an appearance soon. 🎄👀

Saturday night. Time to relax on the couch after a very long week... but always working!

Sold a bunch of these today at Grand Lodge Market so I'm making another 30! Finished pictures to come!

Go enjoy the beautiful art, delicious food, and beautiful weather today and tomorrow in Madison, IN.

Being a small business owner means mornings start earlier and nights end later.

Restocked fall/Halloween for the last time at Grand Lodge Market this morning!

By the looks of the the visitors today, you better go get it before it's gone!

Open today until 5... and tomorrow, regular hours of 10-7!

Stocked for fall 🍂 & Halloween 🎃 in TWO retail spaces… now comes show season! ❄️

Yes, it’s still August. 😂 But around here, the holiday wheels are already turning!

I picked up a basket of these adorable gourds while out and about, and tonight’s mission is to figure out what they’re going to become. 🤔

A little paint? Some primmy magic? Go crazy or keep them simple?!

What would YOU turn them into? 👀

I have a few ideas already… but I want to hear yours!

We've been working our little tails off to get ready for a BIG WEEKEND! Not one, but TWO GRAND OPENINGS are coming this weekend!

Grand Lodge Market in Madison, Indiana will celebrate their Grand Opening on Friday, August 28th!
We're super excited to be a part of such an amazing Market. The Madison community, and all of the visitors, have shown such love and support to not only us but so many small businesses that can be found in the Grand Lodge Market and all along Main Street!!

Then on Saturday, August 29th, The Collective Boutiques Cincinnati will have their Grand Opening! You can find us in W6... just look for the great big PRIMITIVES sign so many of you are familiar with!

We hope to see you at one of these exciting events, whether it be in Madison or Cincinnati (Harpers Point)!

P.S. Please excuse our Ring camera picture. We forgot to take pictures after restocking! 😞

Cincinnati friends… we have some exciting news! ❤️

For those of you who may not be able to make the trip to Madison, we're incredibly excited to tell you that For The Love Of The Grain is back at Harper's Point!

When The Painted Tree unexpectedly filed bankruptcy in April, thousands of small businesses across the country were suddenly left scrambling. We had just 10 days to get our inventory out and were left wondering what the future would look like.

Then something pretty amazing happened.

A new company was created by former Painted Tree vendors and investors who understood firsthand what small businesses had just experienced — and they brought the concept back to the same location at Harper's Point.

✨ The Collective Boutique Cincinnati ✨

And we were thrilled to be invited back.

Even better? We got our old space back! ❤️

The soft opening was August 1st, and we're officially set up and ready for you. The Grand Opening is August 29th, but you don't have to wait — the doors are already open for shopping!

Take a little peek at our new-old space below. 👇

We are so grateful for another opportunity to share our work with the Cincinnati community, and we're excited to see some familiar faces again.

We're back. And we'd love to see you. ❤️

We spent the day in Madison restocking Grand Lodge Market… and with one quick 5-minute trip to the car, we came back to a swarm of people around our space! ❤️

We couldn't help but smile.

We are so incredibly grateful for the reception our vision has received in Madison. To see people stop, look, and connect with the space we've spent so much time creating means more than we can say.

This new chapter is already feeling pretty special, and we can't wait to see where it takes us. ❤️

Our page has been very quiet over the last 6 weeks or so... but that's because we've been working our little hands to the bone getting ready for something big... the opening of Grand Lodge Market!!

Today we set up our space in this BEAUTIFULLY maintained 3 story historic building in Madison, IN. For those that live in Milford and love Main Street as much as we do, Main Street in Madison is a MUST SEE! Voted one of the Top 10 Most Charming Main Streets in the country this year for a reason!

Hop on the Grand Lodge Market page to see some of the very cool, and EXTREMELY talented, artists. Then plan your day to visit Madison... and make sure you allow for an entire day!

Grand Opening August 22nd.
