TrishaSutterMarietta, Ga.-based Glory Haus has announced the creation of its new “Grateful Heart” collection in partnership with Trista Sutter, the first bachelorette on ABC’s The Bachelorette. 

Together with Glory Haus, Sutter is creating a signature product line of wall art, picture frames, a journal, pillows and Sutter’s favorite, the Appreciation Jar. The collection is in production now and will be available for preorders with shipments beginning in December. New products, including Sutter’s jewelry line, will be introduced throughout December.

“I have been a Glory Haus fan for years  and a gift enthusiast for even longer, and could not be more thrilled to be partnering with Glory Haus and continuing to spread the message of gratitude found in my book,” Sutter said of Happily Ever After: The Life Changing Power of a Grateful Heart (De Capo Press), available in stores Nov. 26.  

After 10 years of marriage to firefighter Ryan Sutter, the two are are one of the few couples from the series still enjoying their “happily ever after.” The book can be preordered from the Grateful Heart collection at www.gloryhaus.com. It reflects on the secret ingredient that has helped her find everyday happiness: gratitude and grace.

“Trista and Glory Haus are perfectly aligned as grateful hearts exist in both,” said Molly Holm, owner and CEO of Glory Haus.

This month Glory Haus also acquired Simply Southern Signs, previously owned by artist Rachel Lietch Walker. She will continue to create designs for the newly formed division of Glory Haus.

GloryHaus-GratefulHeart“We are excited to launch Simply Southern Signs to markets nationwide in early 2014,” Holm said. “This addition to Glory Haus broadens our artistic scope and adds depth to our collegiate ‘Victory Haus’ collection.”

Sondra Carlton, director of public relations and data management, spoke of the reasons why Glory Haus acquired Walker’s company:

“First, we love her product!” Carlton said. “Secondly, she has a passionate consumer following. She has never taken her products to the wholesale market so this gives Glory Haus the opportunity to introduce fresh product to a broader marketplace through our current channels of distribution. And most importantly, Rachel has a tender heart to share her faith. She loves to share scripture in her art. Her desire to share the gospel aligns with the Glory Haus mission of changing lives through our art, work and relationships in order to glorify the Lord! Glory Haus' desire is that art would be more meaningful than something that just hangs on your walls, that it would speak Truth into people's lives and homes.”
