Happy Small Business Saturday! I wanted so share a few things from some of my favorite small businesses, and ones that I have recently come across via friends as well.
1. JILL ROSENWALD HAND PAINTED VASE: I recently gifted a Jill Rosenwald vase to a friend and I love how special they feel. I first learned of Jill via F. Gerald New, and we have a handful of pieces!
2. CLARK AND TAFT LEATHER EMBOSSED KEYCHAIN: A great gift for him! Everyone has keys and I feel like as I get older, I appreciate the smaller things in life like a nice keychain or a good coffee mug.
3. PONTIE WAX SET OF TWO SOY CANDLES: I love soy based candles. Pointe Wax is a Black Owned Small Business based in NYC. You can select two candles to gift at once!
4. ARTBYDINAD BLUE AND WHITE ABSTRACT PAITING: This blue and white composition stole my heart! Art by Dina D is a Black Owned, Female Owned small business based in Washington D.C. I think these blue and white prints would be beautiful in any home, but I am eyeing them for my kitchen!
5. OLD LINE OYSTERS WATERCOLOR OYSTER: Old Line Oysters is a gift that gives back, and these handmade oysters are so beautiful. You can read my entire blog post on them here.
6. THE TINY TASSEL TORTOISE EARRINGS: I love the Tiny Tassel! Mimi curates the most beautiful assortment of preppy and classic gifts, jewelry and clothing.The Tiny Tassel is a Black Owned, Female Owned business down in Charleston, SC.
7. LEMON GRACE MEN’S STATIONERY: Andrew and I have shared stationery and then we have our own, individual sets. I love this set, it is so simple and classic. Perfect for any guy!
8. DESIGN CAROLINAS MONOGRAM COFFEE MUG: I love preppy touches like this for anyone who is preppy at heart or loves monograms. It’s fun and not as big of a commitment as a monogram on a scarf or bag!
9. PENNY LINN DESIGNS NANTUCKET BASKET NEEDLE MINDER: Krista opened her own needlepoint company this year, and she kindly sent me this needle minder. It is SO cute. Perfect for anyone who loves to needlepoint, mom, friends, anyone!
10. SWOON PAPER MONOGRAM NOTEPAD: A wonderful stocking stuffer for anyone who is working from home or needs something fresh to add to their workspace. I take notes all the time and love these.
11. UFISH PERSONALIZED FISHING LURE: This is so cool and special! Great for a guy who loves to fish (or gal). My father-in-law loves to fish, as do my husband and his brothers, so this may make its way to the Masseys!
12. CAROLINA DANDY GINGER JAR SALT AND PEPPER SHAKERS: Perfect for anyone who loves ginger jars, mom, a host, or a girlfriend. These are darling.
13. F. GERALD NEW SILVER GOODS: F. Gerald New is a landmark for any New Jerseyan. Growing up, I remember my mom going here for every gift and every occasion. They have the most beautiful home decor, gifts and collection of antique and new silver you can have engraved. Call to order or shop online!
14. DUDLEY STEPHENS FROST ST SCARF: I love Dudley Stephens! They are a sustainable, female owned business specializing in all things fleece. They recently sent me this scarf as a holiday gift and I have been LIVING in it!! Perfect for anyone who loves cozy.
