On a chilly autumn evening, I am hosting a feast.

After an afternoon of cooking, before my guests arrive, I pull on the Abbey Dress

and slip into some pretty shoes and wrists-full of bangles.

This dress is well suited for this role. The sleeves do not impede pulling trays of roasted veggies from the oven. The easy fit accommodates the inevitable expansion that occurs over the course of the dinner. The soft jersey material lets me wind down comfortably, curled up on the couch with a cup of tea.

Whether you’re the kind of home cook that needs full splatter protection or prefer a trimmer, around-the-waist-only approach, this apron has you covered (get it?). Constructed so that the bib stays up or flips discretely down, it ties at the neck and waist for total adjustability and features two versatile front pockets.

CFM is one of our fave local woman-owned-and-operated businesses. They are a storefront offering handmade watercolors and a line of letterpress watercolor paper goods all made in-house, alongside a curated selection of creative supplies. In 2019, we started collaborating on a special Holiday product, to come up with something that represents all that we care about: sustainability, creativity, process, and COLOR. And, The Artist Brush Roll was born!

This classic crewneck is a riff on our favorite vintage tees. It’s sure to be a hit!

Our bodies, ourselves are about 65% water. When we're floating in our mamas' bellies (in amniotic fluid, about 98% water), our mamas feel extra nice floating in a warm bath tub, relaxing their muscles and enjoying. Blessings on the floating babes, the floating mamas, and blessings on the water that floats us! Lisa Foti-Straus drew the sketch for this card one evening, sketching a pregnant sister-friend in the tub. A good one to give to mama's in wait. Emily Johnson printed them with a rainbow hued split fountain on an OG letterpress at EMprint Press, at YU, in Portland, Oregon. The recycled stock is heavyweight and a little bit toothy, with 25% cotton mixed in. The envelopes are 100% PCW recycled kraft paper.

"Boobs" has made the leap to paper in a tiny-kind with a major delight result. United Colors of Boobs! Once Cass went up to Portland for a week of printing with the expert Emily Johnson and this was the first plate to hit the press. Previously, "Boobs" had only been printed as a large-scale silkscreen on fabric, using just one color at a time, and they wanted to play with as many colors as possible for these letterpress prints. Inconceivably, Em had never experimented with split fountain inking on her press, so they were both learning new tricks as they went along. These cards were printed on Em's vintage Miehle letterpress, at EMprint Press, at YU. The size of the cards is 6" x 6" square. The recycled stock is heavyweight and a little bit toothy, with 25% cotton mixed in. The envelopes are 100% PCW recycled kraft paper. Gravel & Gold is donating the proceeds from these cards to the worthy La Leche League of Northern California and Hawaii. We're hoping to share the boob positivity more more more!

This gorgeous disco ball necklace is a beautiful daily wear piece to be worn alone or paired up with other pieces. Each disco ball is chiseled and crafted to catch light and shimmer & glow as you walk. Hypoallergenic, nickel and lead free.

18k gold filled lobster clasp and chain.

"Hana 'i'o ka haole!"The foreigner does it in earnest! Neither strictly born on a Hawaiian island nor genetically Hawaiian, our nonetheless Hawaiian Lili designed "Go Stay Stay Go," honoring the moon, the mountains upon, and the sea that surrounds those paradises. A persimmon hue was selected for the backside and a fine gold powder was mixed in so that if you look carefully, these beauties shine. Emily Johnson printed these cards with love and expertise on an OG letterpress at EMprint Press, at YU, in Portland, Oregon. The recycled stock is heavyweight and a little bit toothy, with 25% cotton mixed in. The envelopes are 100% PCW recycled kraft paper.

When we ladies of G&G first encountered Kathleen's wee glints of sunshine we immediately took ourselves down to the piercing station and got some extra ear holes to accommodate them in a full-time way.

Our Save Water "propaganda Tee" is back!

This shirt brings some cheeky levity to a pretty grave situation (and we all need that, right?) But we also want you to know that there is more to this Tee than a graphic.

This tee is made 100% in the USA - from design, to raw fiber, to fabric, to sewing and finishing - and that is probably rarer than you think. Did you know that most cotton products consumed in the USA are made from cotton or fabric grown or milled overseas, despite the USA being the third largest producer of cotton (behind China and India)?

To top it off, this awesome, US grown cotton is 100% Organic which not only eliminates toxic chemicals but requires 91% less water than conventional cotton.

Our classic crew neck T-shirt is meant to be worn into the ground (from where it came).

Birthdays and Holidays in my family weren’t exactly like the ones you see in the movies. We didn’t rush toward our presents in a frenzy of flying arms and frantic fingers, shreds of paper and tape flying across the room. No, in my family we’d surgically unwrap our presents, delicately peeling the tape and carefully re-folding the paper for next year’s holidays in an effort to reduce waste. It was a chore, but it was tradition.

In keeping with that same waste reduction ethos, we’re pleased to introduce these reusable Gravel & Gold Gift Bags—no peeling tape or folding paper required. When the festivities are over and the gifts have been exchanged, these bags can be put away until next year or reused to hold shoes, jewelry, toiletries, cat toys, etc.

Made from leftover fabrics from our apparel productions, these festive gift sacks come in 3 sizes and feature a ribbon drawstring.
