via pinterest i stumbled on the prettiest small business, which gave me the idea that a shop small series might be timely right now, so we can collectively help some of these small, independent shops stay afloat during this really challenging time. this online shop is just as stunning as their products are — as you’re soon about to see. meet Tono Co — with a collection gorgeous ribbons, wearables like scarves and hankies, styling kits (genuis!), and textiles (and even scraps) are carefully hand-made by a small team of artisans in the tono studio in Santa Ana, California. it’s like a dream resource come true for designers, seamstresses, brides to be, florists, stylists, photographers or anyone just aching to create beautiful things right now.

Tono Co is the passion project of Janelle Nicole Wylie, owner of the floral company Lavenders Flowers. Working closely with brides for almost a decade, color became the natural center of Janelle’s work leading her to the tradition of hand-dyeing fabrics. Tono Co finds its inspiration in the first-hand knowledge Janelle gained while studying painting & color theory in Florence, Italy. In Italian, Tono refers to the gradual increase in color tone, creating a fluid color spectrum. Through the learning process of mixing oil paint, Janelle developed a sensitivity to color tone. Her passions for combining color and texture have evolved into the art of hand-dyed textiles. her presentation of these stunning textiles is so soothing to the eyes and she writes a beautiful blog, too — so if your eyes are in need of something sublime, let’s visit Tono Co.
