About Us
Grace and Glory has been about everything that celebrates a beautiful home, from the broken and the aged, to the bold and the majestic. The details, the extra bits, the sparkles and the lace. The dust collectors and must haves - These are the things we dream about, the things we can't get enough of, the things we gathered and the projects we don't ever intend on finishing...because there is always something new just ahead....
Hi, I'm Tammy, owner, wife, mum, crafter, decorator, dreamer, project starter, not always project finisher, making it up as I go along...together with my husband Roger, we are Grace & Glory, found in Rotorua, New Zealand.
Our story started with a collective of 4 independent retailers, as The Living Room Collective in 2012, we shared a lease, time, resources and energy to get us off the ground. Our store, Grace & Glory, has continued from that time, thanks to the Collectives humble beginnings and the wonderful following of our faithful customers. We continue to grow and pursue this creative journey.
Our store has been now online only over the last 2 years as we adjusted to a new season. It was a big change and I would have no idea how much I missed the real life customer interaction - How it nourished my spirit and inspired me!
Our decision to end this chapter will come as no surprise due to the current world of economics. My hope was that we could keep producing affordable beautiful products, homewares and gifts that were accessible and attainable for all. Changing algorithms, the love/hate arrival of AI, and all the big names of cyber world, apps, meta and google, hackers and bots - none of these things fit into my beautiful, soft, gentle, slower, trustworthy world of ideals. But with this farewell comes a bitter parting of so many lovely customers and suppliers that have become friends and champions. To you, I say thank you for encouraging my heart, for your support and helping me feed my family over the last 14 years.
Fantasy and dreams fuel the soul. So we always dream to keep our souls alive with hope. Realising all the while we have been blessed beyond measure already.
Thank you for visiting us, we still can't believe you all came.
