Beyond the Blogs

What happens when two bloggers become good friends? A collaboration, of course. WREL LIVING is the brainchild of Samantha Wennerstrom and Alicia Lund, named after their children (Willow, Rex, Elin, and Lila). “We’ve been friends for over 10 years, living parallel lives, blogging, getting married, having kids,” Wennerstrom says. “The last couple years we’ve enjoyed our time at home making things extra special, swapping recipe and tabletop ideas.” In launching an online shop, they’ve curated “favorite finds,” while tapping into their network of makers and brands to collaborate on one-of-a-kind pieces. The California-inspired capsule collection of lifestyle goods include pitchers, bud vases, dinnerware, and more dreamy items that represent their entertaining aesthetic and friendship. Adds Wennerstrom: “It’s all about bringing friends and family around the table.” WRELLIVING.COM.
