Katie Giannone, UncommonGoods Associate Buyer – Home Décor, Seasonal, Desktop, Art <\/center><\/p>\n

My hometown is\u2026<\/strong>
\nWilton, CT; a smallish, ruralish town about an hour outside of NYC.<\/p>\n

My favorite product that I\u2019ve brought into the assortment at UncommonGoods is\u2026<\/strong>
\nVERY hard to pick just one, but I would have to go with one I brought in recently – the Grow Old With You Terrarium<\/a> \u2013 a solid mix of sweet sentiment, creativity, and handcrafted, clean home d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m inspired by\u2026<\/strong>
\nMy friends, the masses of extremely talented and creative handmade designers sprouting up across the US, and the outdoors.<\/p>\n

My guilty pleasure is\u2026 <\/strong>
\nRelishing the sun. <\/p>\n

An uncommon fact about me\u2026 <\/strong>
\nLet\u2019s see\u2026 pick your fave: at 6\u20191\u201d, I am the tallest person in my family. I broke my arm sledding onto an iced over pond in VT when I was<\/a> about 8 years old. I had a pet bunny named Flopsy when I was little, but my mom didn\u2019t like caged animals so we treated it more or less like a domestic cat \u2013 it would go out into our yard and the woods behind our house during the day and explore, coming in at night for dinner and shelter. I practiced jazz dance until I was nearly 14. <\/p>\n

My favorite place to eat in New York City is\u2026 <\/strong>
\nThree way tie between St. Anselm<\/a>, Marlow & Sons<\/a>, and Peasant<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My Style is\u2026<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m aiming for timeless.<\/p>\n

Since working at UncommonGoods I\u2019ve learned\u2026<\/strong>
\nHow wonderful it is working with handmade designers who are extremely passionate about their work.<\/p>\n

With a pile of stuff in front of me I would make\u2026<\/strong>
\n(You\u2019re given paper, glue, glitter, sticky notes, an aluminum can, bakers twine, and a rubber band. What do you make and who is it for?)<\/em><\/p>\n

I would make a kinetic mobile to hang above my nephew Grady\u2019s crib.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
