The 17 Best Small Makers on Etsy
I can’t say enough about how much I love Etsy. I’ve been a customer for years and order all the time from my favorite shops for gifts, all of my fabric and items that I can’t find anywhere else. All of these shops are listed for the uniqueness of their products. There are many makers in the United States that offer a product that you can’t get anywhere else, but I tried to include a mix of both domestic and international sellers.
The 52 Best Fall Decor Ideas You’ll Love
I have been waiting for the longest summer ever to end because here in Atlanta, it was sweltering with humidity, mosquitoes and scorching sun. It just tires you out and this one was hotter than it’s been in years if you’ve been watching the news. I can feel it, can’t you? It’s Fall ya’ll and I’m digging it. The slight nip in the air, the longing for a pumpkin spice latte and the football players gearing up for a great season; it’s the most wonderful time of the year. I love Fall in all its glory.
The Best Fall Exclusives at Target from Opalhouse Jungalow, Hearth & Hand Magnolia and Threshold McGee & Co.
Target has been so good for several years now. It’s not the Target of my childhood which was much more in line with Walmart. They’ve made so many strides forward in fashion and especially in design. In pairing up with famous designers for capsule collections to carrying whole lines of products from “of the moment” tastemakers, Target has really come into its own and I can honestly say they’re in a lane all their own.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
