Shop Small til' you drop!

Ok, so these are a few of my favorite things. Are you singing the song like me now? Well, all singing and joking aside, these really are my favorite things right now, in some of my favorite stores, by some even more incredible people. Support local, shop thoughtful and intentionally, and the joy that you see on the faces of those you are buying for (or the joy you feel…even better) will make shopping and giving even more special. And, the cool part is, you are supporting some really cool makers and people in town! Win, win…. When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I’m feeling sad. I simply remember my favorite things and then I don’t feel sooooo sad. Ok, now let’s shop!

@finehg has these great glasses. They are solid and feel really good to hold, and they are incredibly timeless. These would make a great gift with a nice bottle of bourbon from @bardstownbourbonco or local beer from @flywheelbeer.

You know I love all things Etown and supporting this sweet town. This pillow is unique and really can be put into any style: modern, traditional, farmhouse, you name it and it will look cute. This can be found @finehg too.

Ok, so my dear friend introduced me to this amazing artitst out of Louisville. She is cool with a capital C. Her work is amazing and colorful, and so fun. I’m in love with what @christinemuellerart does. This would be a perfect gift for the art lover in your life.

Another @christinemuellerart original, but in an ormament. How gorgeous is this?!? This would be so beautiful to hang on a friend’s tree this year…..or yours ;-)

This is the perfect gift for any man in your life. The fresh, citrus, woody is up my alley, but all of them would make great gifts. Cologn is always nice to give, but this box design is also beautiful and can be found @jbradleyshop. Think, great stocking stuffer too!

@staxnutrition has moved locations and it’s nice and bright right when you walk in the doors. The staff is also super helpful. For the excercise buff in your life anything from here makes a great gift. They also have a great stock of NOW oils, which I personally love, as well as their protein powder selection which is phenomenal.

This is still my absolute favorite scent out there, no other can hold a “candle” to it, but seriously it’s sooooo good. Perfect, really. These candles are awesome gifts and can be found @raimentandboon.

Another one of my favorite things right now, are these purses. They are so good. Great gifts and perfect for any outfit. Beautiful and quality and classic. Find these beauts and the sweet owners @raimentandboon too.

I shared this pot the other day, but how cool are these? Hand painted, bright, and so happy. This pot adds so much joy to any space. Look how excited the plants are sitting in them! Find these cuties @shopdenizen.

So I absolutely LOVE this calendar. I got it as the sweetest gift last year from a dear friend and love looking at it every day. And seeing the gorgeous artwork each month is such a fun surprise. It makes a great gift; I can say that from experience. These are by @1canoe2, but luckily I saw that @shopdenizen had some in stock recently., and that also gives you a chance to stop in and see the great gals who work there.
