POV: You’re not sad… POV: It’s 30 degrees and sno POV: You’re not sad…

POV: It’s 30 degrees and snowing… but I’m mentally at the beach with 80-degree weather, a fresh tan, my toes in the water, and Morgan Wallen turned ALL the way up. 🌊☀️

Tell me I’m not the only one who thinks sunshine + country music + salty air is actual therapy?! Give me a beach chair, a good summer read, and a speaker blasting my favorite Morgan Wallen songs and I’m instantly fixed. 😂

We had a little taste of spring this weekend (it hit 70 degrees and felt amazing), and now we’re right back to freezing temps and snow. So if you need me, I’ll just be over here manifesting summer vacation, beach days, and warm weather vibes.

Anyone else already dreaming about their next beach trip? 🏖️✨ #morganwallen #beachvacay #beachsunset #sunsetvibes #vacationvibes
Weekend getaway idea: Downtown Brevard, North Caro Weekend getaway idea: Downtown Brevard, North Carolina might be the cutest small town in the mountains and I can’t believe it took me this long to explore it! 🤍

A couple of weeks ago, we spent the day in downtown Brevard and instantly fell in love. Think charming antique stores, cozy coffee shops, local bookstores, amazing restaurants, and the kind of walkable Main Street that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. If you’re planning a trip to Brevard, NC, especially if you’re visiting near Asheville or the Blue Ridge Mountains, this little mountain town absolutely needs to be on your list.

I put together a full blog post with all the best things to do in Brevard, NC (where to eat, shop, and explore), so you can plan the perfect weekend getaway.

Comment “Brevard” below and I’ll send you the link! #brevard #brevardnc #smalltownlife #weekendgetaways #blueridgemountains
You know you’ve officially entered ✨prime adulthoo You know you’ve officially entered ✨prime adulthood✨ when renting a dumpster feels like a THRILL. 🤣

Nothing, and I mean nothing, hits quite like tossing years of random junk into a giant metal box and watching the clutter disappear. Our garage and basement were crying for help, and this purge just gave us the ultimate clean-slate reset. 🙌🏼

Tell me I’m not the only one who gets this excited over a dumpster rental… because this might be my favorite era yet. 😜

If you think you’re “late” taking down your Christ If you think you’re “late” taking down your Christmas decor… just know I still have fall decor on my back porch 😅🍂

Yes. In February.

In my defense, it’s been a freezing winter, I ran out of storage bins while packing up my fall decorations, and once it got cold? I simply ✨chose peace✨ instead of porch cleanup 😂

But with the warmer weather finally rolling in, it’s officially time for a spring porch refresh! 🌸🌿 Goodbye pumpkins, hello spring decor, outdoor living, and fresh seasonal styling.

Anyone else still transitioning their seasonal home decor, or am I alone in my fall-to-spring glow up? 😜 #seasonaldecor #relatablereels #dontjudgeme #springdecor #porchdecor

I’ll be honest… I didn’t really decorate for Valen I’ll be honest… I didn’t really decorate for Valentine’s Day this year 😂 These photos are from last year’s Valentine’s Day coffee bar setup, and it’s still one of my favorite little seasonal decor moments. By the time I thought about pulling out my Valentine’s Day home decor, it was already February and only a few days away, so I figured what was the point of dragging everything out for such a short time?! 🤣

Small Shops to Support Right Now

So during these scary and uncertain times, I figured I could lift up a few small businesses that I have had the pleasure of meeting on Instagram. Most of these companies I have actually worked with in the past (or I am still currently with) so I know their quality of products are so amazing.

Even though their actual shops may be closed and their vendor events cancelled, you can still support them by ordering online.

And even if you can’t afford to order anything right now (which I totally get because I am on a tight budget right now too due to being out of work unfortunately), just give them a follow on Instagram! Or like and comment on a few of their photos.

Or if they have a blog on their website too, then subscribe! All of these little things make a huge difference for a small company so I am all about doing every little thing that I can to help support them during these scary times!

Farmhouse Style Signs

Ebenezer Market

Y’all have heard me mention this amazing company time and time again and that is just because I love their handmade signs so much! They are currently offering 30% off storewide and they are now selling gift cards too!

Go check out Ebenezer Market today and I know you will fall in love with them too, just like I did!

Ebenezer Market Coffee Sign
This is one of my all time favorite signs from them!

The Creative Farmhouse

I just love all of The Creative Farmhouse signs too! They even offer custom signs, which would be such a great gift idea! I shared a lot more about them in one of my older blog posts, which you can check out here if you missed it. Just look at all of their beautiful signs I have styled in my home right now below:

The Creative Farmhouse Easter Bunny Sign
That Easter Bunny sign may just be my favorite!
The Creative Farmhouse Spring Sign
I love how versatile their signs are.
The Creative Farmhouse Spring Sign
You can place them anywhere and they look so good!

This is the perfect sign for these trying times right now!

Here is all of their new spring signs I have!

Golden Grace Handmade

These handmade signs are also adorable and they are currently offering a 15% off sale! Now would be the perfect time to go check them out too! Click here to go to their Etsy shop.

Candles

Modern Forestry

You know I have mentioned Modern Forestry time and time again too. That’s because I just love their candles so much and I love being able to work with them!

I talked much more about them in one of my older blog posts (which you can see here if you’re interested) but they are also having a great sale right now too. FREE SHIPPING on orders of $30 or more! I don’t know about you, but free shipping gets me every time.

Glazed Lemon Cake Candle
This Glazed Lemon Cake Candle is my favorite right now!
Modern Forestry Candle
Not only do the candles smell great, but they look so pretty on trays too!

It’s More Than A Home

It’s More Than a Home is another 100% soy hand poured candle company that I discovered off Instagram. And they are running a killer sale right now as well!

Buy 3 candles and receive their Herb Garden candle for FREE! I am all about free candles, aren’t y’all?!

It's More Than A Home Candle
This is the free candle you can receive!

Other Home Decor Small Shops

Honey Brook

Real Honey Brook is another small shop that I love! She makes the cutest little home decor items that are perfect to put on tiered trays or displays.

She also loves to antique hunt and she has a few antiques available in her shop too so definitely go check her out! And for a few days only, some of her spring decor is 50% off too! Such an amazing deal!

Celebrating hitting 10K on Instagram
Honey Brook made that cute mug topper on my Rae Dunn mug!

Anna Phillips Designs

I discovered Anna Phillips Designs through the Vintage Pickin event I went to a few weeks ago. She makes the most adorable home decor items and she even put some of her bunnies and the bunny garland I have online as well so you can order you one too!

She also makes beautiful handmade jewelry that you can see on her online shop too.

Bunny Pillow and Garland
Look at how adorable that bunny pillow and bunny garland are!

Grimms Gardens

I just heard of this new to me small shop called Grimms Gardens and this is such a cool business because not only are they family owned, but they will literally ship plants right to your door!

How awesome is that?! I may have to utilize them very soon because I am dying for some plants on my porch and I can’t go out and buy any. So this is perfect time to support this small shop!

Small Shops to Support Right Now
Pin for later!

Well, I could go on and on about so many small businesses right now, but I think I have given you a good starter list to go by. Maybe I will update this list in the coming days too with more shops that I stumble upon, so be sure to keep checking back here.

And I hope we can all try to support our local small business and small shops right now. During this stressful time they need our support now more than ever!

    This is a very important time to support small businesses. Some are not as fortunate to have some money in savings to keep the business going. It can be hard for all of us because in order to get paid, we need to work, but that may not be possible if we are labeled as a non-essential worker. I love all of these different shops that you have shared. Thanks for sharing!

POV: You’re not sad… POV: It’s 30 degrees and sno POV: You’re not sad…

POV: It’s 30 degrees and snowing… but I’m mentally at the beach with 80-degree weather, a fresh tan, my toes in the water, and Morgan Wallen turned ALL the way up. 🌊☀️

Tell me I’m not the only one who thinks sunshine + country music + salty air is actual therapy?! Give me a beach chair, a good summer read, and a speaker blasting my favorite Morgan Wallen songs and I’m instantly fixed. 😂

We had a little taste of spring this weekend (it hit 70 degrees and felt amazing), and now we’re right back to freezing temps and snow. So if you need me, I’ll just be over here manifesting summer vacation, beach days, and warm weather vibes.

Anyone else already dreaming about their next beach trip? 🏖️✨ #morganwallen #beachvacay #beachsunset #sunsetvibes #vacationvibes
Weekend getaway idea: Downtown Brevard, North Caro Weekend getaway idea: Downtown Brevard, North Carolina might be the cutest small town in the mountains and I can’t believe it took me this long to explore it! 🤍

A couple of weeks ago, we spent the day in downtown Brevard and instantly fell in love. Think charming antique stores, cozy coffee shops, local bookstores, amazing restaurants, and the kind of walkable Main Street that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. If you’re planning a trip to Brevard, NC, especially if you’re visiting near Asheville or the Blue Ridge Mountains, this little mountain town absolutely needs to be on your list.

I put together a full blog post with all the best things to do in Brevard, NC (where to eat, shop, and explore), so you can plan the perfect weekend getaway.

Comment “Brevard” below and I’ll send you the link! #brevard #brevardnc #smalltownlife #weekendgetaways #blueridgemountains

If you think you’re “late” taking down your Christ If you think you’re “late” taking down your Christmas decor… just know I still have fall decor on my back porch 😅🍂

Yes. In February.

In my defense, it’s been a freezing winter, I ran out of storage bins while packing up my fall decorations, and once it got cold? I simply ✨chose peace✨ instead of porch cleanup 😂

But with the warmer weather finally rolling in, it’s officially time for a spring porch refresh! 🌸🌿 Goodbye pumpkins, hello spring decor, outdoor living, and fresh seasonal styling.

Anyone else still transitioning their seasonal home decor, or am I alone in my fall-to-spring glow up? 😜 #seasonaldecor #relatablereels #dontjudgeme #springdecor #porchdecor

I’ll be honest… I didn’t really decorate for Valen I’ll be honest… I didn’t really decorate for Valentine’s Day this year 😂 These photos are from last year’s Valentine’s Day coffee bar setup, and it’s still one of my favorite little seasonal decor moments. By the time I thought about pulling out my Valentine’s Day home decor, it was already February and only a few days away, so I figured what was the point of dragging everything out for such a short time?! 🤣

Now I’m that girl who still has all her winter home decor up and is slowly dreaming about switching over to spring decor ideas soon 🌸 Anyone else behind on seasonal decorating too? #coffeebar #coffeebardecor #coffeenook #coffeestation #valentinesdaydecor
