Happy Small Business Saturday! Just wanted to hop on here real quick and share just a few of my favorite small businesses and makers, most of which are based right here in New England. Quite a few are having sales today, so please go check them out and support them if you can!
Small Business Saturday Picks
Wiglesworth's Mercantile - Wiglesworth's Mercantile is one of the newest shops in Portsmouth, NH. The owner Anne is committed to only carrying items made right here in New England, and this week she is giving back to local charities with every purchase at her store (I love that so much!).
Mermaids & Madeleines - Heather from Mermaids & Madeleines makes the most beautiful, bright coastal-inspired jewelry around. She's also such a positive, happy soul and a joy to follow on Instagram.
Wolfeboro Candle Company - Carrie from Wolfeboro Candle Company makes wonderful candles, and this season is offering Gift Boxes too (our Hand-Etched Snowflake Ornament is included in the Large Gift Box).
Maine Rope Mats - Maine Rope Mats makes amazing recycled lobster rope mats and products. We personally have two of their mats and love the fun it brings to our doorways.
S.Lynch Knitwear - Samantha isn't actually from New England, but is a New Englander at heart and it shows in her beautifully made knitted items. I just love her chunky knit hats and her craftsmenship is beautiful!
Daytrip Society - Daytrip and Datyrip Jr., both in Kennebunkport Maine, are some of my favorite stores around. They are beautifully currated and have such thoughtful and unqiue gift ideas.
Watts in Maine - Watts in Maine is best known for their Perfect Catch Cuff, but also offers other jewelry and accessory items as well. They also have made donations to help with Shark Research.
Sewcialite - Roula of Sewcialite hustles so hard every day, working fulltime and creating the most amazing coastal-inspired rope creations and jewelry in her spare time.
Current situation: etching and painting my way through 125+ of these beauties to finish some orders. Whew.
No manicures for this mama.
As of right now our ornaments will also be available this season at Straw Cellar, Country Store on Main, Daytrip Society, and Wyler's. Please support these wonderful shops that support small local businesses like myself.
Between Plaid Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday we sold out of most of our listings on Etsy, a very nice problem to have indeed! ;) My priority is getting all current orders out and then I will work on restocking the shop. Thank you all SOO much for your orders and your interest!
In the meantime if you're looking for our ornaments ASAP, you can try one of the lovely shops that are carrying them this season. They include Daytrip Society, The Straw Cellar, and Wyler's.
Dropped off an order of our Hand-Etched Ornaments at the amazing Daytrip Society in Kennebunkport, Maine today. So very honored that our ornaments will be there this year.
If you haven't been to Daytrip Society yet, go! Such a beautiful shop filled with unique gifts, many of which are Maine-made and New England-made. I wanted to take the whole place home with me!
I wish this picture wasn't so glare-y so you could see their beautiful window display!
August is winding down but the good news is I'm hard at work restocking my Etsy shop and working on filling pre-orders for the Christmas season, including the amazing Daytrip Societyin Kennebunkport, Maine (so excited!).
Can't wait to turn these birch beauties into some adorable snowflake ornaments once they dry completely.
