Some months, like June and December, denote a fleeting romance, but these months are the name of a motown business for Katie and Nick Forte. The couple’s website junedecember.com and business is named after the months in which their children were born.
The company, based in Michigan and produced in Michigan with mostly all American-made products, is a home decor and paper goods business with many themes of nature. They sell napkins, pillows, notepads, desk pads and pencil sets. Their newest product is a pencil terrarium. This set includes five fern patterned pencils packaged in a glass tube. The glass tube can be turned into tiny terrarium.
In their previous work lives, Katie worked in advertising and graphic design while Nick was a restaurateur.
Katie designs the many kitchen style motifs and paper good products. Some have catchy phrases like Smitten with the Mitten. (Michiganders know that we carry a map of the state with us at times and show where we live on our hand.)
Michigan is more than a place to live for Katie and Nick, “It’s where we share our journey with children and where our roots go deep.”
The business started out at the NYNOW trade show and now is nationwide in many boutique stores. For more information, go to junedecember.com
