Local Lovelies

Hey Y'all! 

Do you ever find yourself on vacation or living in a spot where the streets are filled with fabulous little "ohmygosh shops"?? I just have to share my love for finding those "just right" little stores. That sounds cheesy. 

But really, while living & frequently visiting the following cities - I have grown a nice collection of business cards and a list of stores and businesses that I frequent and would recommend to anyone going there and must go to when I'm back for a visit.

So here we go - favorite secret shops that I just can't keep a secret {because we really should all be supporting locally owned}
