Eeeek! I’m so excited to post this today. I was on my way home from my P.O. Box today & I was thinking about the small shops that I love. I think about them often. I order from them, I try to shop small & decorate small in our home often, & a lot of them send me things to my P.O. Box weekly… & it all makes me feel warm & fuzzy inside. I do P.O. Box openings here on the blog sometimes, on my Instagram stories, & I’m going to start doing them on the Vlog more. But I also wanted to start a series on the blog where I just randomly share five shops I’m loving at the moment that I think you will love as well. Let’s support small & celebrate small business together more. As a small business owner myself of the shop, The Found Cottage, which is filled with small business owners selling their handmade & found items it is seriously a true passion of mine & I know many of you share this passion as well…

Shop #1 – The Crooked Cottage

Katina makes the cutest candles [HERE] I ever did see & they smell amazing too! I guess that’s pretty important for a candle huh?! I proudly display these babies in our house & currently have that shiplap one burning in our kitchen & I love it! You can find her little shop [HERE] & show her some love.. I just saw she added some new and exciting things I have to check out like some jewelry pieces as well.

Shop #2 – Simply Inspired Designs 

I came across this picture of this sign [HERE] on Pinterest & it stopped me in my scroll & I had to share it with you guys. There is just something about the font & that hymn that makes my soul happy. What a great reminder to see every day of our lives. You can check her lovely shop out [HERE].

Shop #3 – Golden Oldies USA

I found this shop recently on Etsy that sells a lot of the items that we love styling in our home from olive buckets to seltzer bottles to dough bowls & more. I get a lot of questions about where we get these items so I knew I had to share this one for you guys! Olive buckets are great for so many things & we have used them in almost every room in our home & even on the porch. They have must more than that & you can check them out [HERE].

Shop #4 – Grateful Home

I have been OBSESSED with floor pillows recently & on the hunt for the perfect ones for our home. I found some amazing ones on Etsy in a little shop called Grateful Home that I recently shared with you guys on my Facebook page & you guys have been obsessed with her shop like I have been so I had to share her shop again. These ticking floor pillows have my heart! You can see her full shop [HERE].

Shop #5 – Linen & Ivory

I have many many many pillows from Kendra’s shop [HERE] so I can attest to how awesome her pillows are. I also love that she carries seasonal pillow covers for every time of the year so that I can keep the same insert, but switch them out with the season or even my mood. I love the large selection she carries & I think you will too! Check out her shop [HERE].

I hope you guys like this new series here on the blog. You know that I LOVE sharing home decor, clothing, & more from the big box stores, but like I said before, shopping small will always have my heart. Thank you guys for celebrating shopping small with me & for stopping by the blog today!! Oh, & please let me know what your favorite small shops are!
