Happy 20th Birthday Gold Leaf!



May 19, 2014

Can it really be 20 years?  Although it seems like only yesterday, when we stop to look back, it is incredible to see all that we have accomplished.  Thank you to all of our friends and family, clients and customers, supporters and fans, staff past and present.  Our journey has been long (and often hard), but worth every minute.  Having you on this journey has made it possible and worthwhile.  Thanks.

We have had the opportunity to travel the globe, provide opportunities for individuals and communities, connect people to the natural world, remind us that in this fast-paced life, enhancing our environment adds an immeasurable quality to our daily lives.  Through our products, designs, and business practices, we strive to have a positive impact on the lives touched by Gold Leaf Design Group.

There are so many days walking into work, that Allan and I are in awe of all that has been accomplished.  Seeing employees that have been with us through thick and thin for 10 years, 15 years, 17 years.  Or our crew that has been with us over the last couple of years, propelling us out of the economic downturn ensuring a solid and strong future.  Or our clients, many that have been with us since the early days, sharing in our accomplishments and rooting for us along the way.  We are truly humbled by your encouragement and commitment to our success.  We do not take any of this for granted.  We are here today because of you, our Gold Leaf community. 

Thank you for an incredible, awe-inspiring, outrageous, unpredictable, lively, fun, stressful, exciting, hard, creative and unimaginable 20 years!  Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!! And, here's to 20 more!

Gold Leaf in Las Vegas

We are in Las Vegas at the HD Expo (Booth 4161...stop by if you are around!). After some challenges in set-up we're excited to be meeting people and showing off some of our unique artifacts, custom work, and some experiments that yielded some fun results.

Of course, it isn't all work. We have to step out to eat...sometimes. We visited the Steampunk-influenced RX Boiler Room at Mandalay Bay and look what we found there...our Mirrored Animal Trophies. They look great.

Gold Leaf on Michigan Avenue

Spring has finally sprung, though it seems like it has turned into summer, at least for today. Hopefully it cools back down a bit so that we can enjoy mild weather and walk along the Lake. Or maybe Michigan Avenue where Gold Leafer (and recent mom) Jess found our Wire Circle Balls. They were included as part of the work of McFarlane Douglass and Companies. Thanks for making our walks lovely guys.


Did you see us in April?

The April Home Accents Today included our resin agate boxes. These great and colorful boxes come in two sizes and three colors...and all of them are gift boxed. They would look great on a shelf, desk, or wardrobe.
