Personal Favorites: Small Businesses

I love supporting small businesses because I have my own and I know how hard people work!

You of coarse but I love croehaven...cute stickers and T-shirts. Cruoutfitters and Oh Sarah Jane embroidery shirts/sweatshirts etc.

I’ve been LOVING Knotties! Headbands in the cutest designs, and a NC teacher like me! I love shopping small, because it helps out food on the table and pay bills for people just like me! I know that there has been a lot of dreaming, hard work, tears, and dedication put into each and every one of our packages. What better to support than that!? 😍❤️

I love Simply Stained! You all will love Lauren and get family, oh, and Rupert!!

I love supporting HappyHeadbandCo, LipstickLittles, Garden24, and YOU! 😃

Senita athletics! Best activewear brand started by two sisters who wanted quality athletic wear to be accessible to all. A lot of their pants and sports bras have pockets - game changer for someone living with type 1 diabetes and an insulin pump attached to me. Check them out! Amazing Black Friday sales going on.

I love @withliftedhandsco she has such cute stickers and procreate brushes. I love supporting small businesses because it brings joy to the creators. They work so hard and don’t get the recognition they deserve. With the amount of hours they put into their work as well as the material, things are made with way more love than in a sweatshop ! @Withliftedhandsco has really great christian related items, which i’ve purchased for people who I serve with at my local church. By buying from a small business and sharing with friends, your helping them grow, which is part of the joy of buying from them :)

https://www.sylviacarrolldesigns.com is amazing at what she does! Unique Hand stitched clothing , and super adorable printed custom orders! She is so creative and has the sweetest heart ❤️

I love supporting small businesses because I know it’s a personal face behind every creation, product and service. Personal goals and dreams and aspirations - to play even just a minuscule part in that gives me such joy!

You’ve already listed so many of my favorites (Rad and Happy, 1Canoe2), but I’ve also discovered Page1 Books (small bookstore and personalized book subscription service!), Rad Revolution (adorable baby clothes/items, but also amazing bags, beanies and other products for those of us without children) and Stitches by Paige (on Etsy and IG - the adorable, comfy, stretchy hand-sewn turban headbands)!

One of my favorite small businesses is MyBlueSnowflake in Etsy! They have such a cute variety of charms and birthstones! They make an ideal gift fro everyone. Plus they’re great quality! 😃

Of course Callie Danielle!! Also love Made By Emma K...she has her Instagram and Etsy shop! She’s a future teacher who makes homemade decor along with the cutest stickers!

Paint at a splash downtown New Bedford, Massachusetts!! I love a good paint and drink night!

I love Jessica's shop over at Embellished Education!

I love Casual Friday KY and Libby’s Honeybee Bakery!

I love Embellished Education! She’s a former teacher who completely switched gears to meet her families needs and she’s killing it! She is quirky and relatable! I feel like she works her tail end off doing what she does all while being a mom. Who doesn’t like all things glitter and fun keychains?

Prep Obsessed! They have the cutest and preppiest things! And so affordable too! They make great gifts for others as well! And of course, Callie Danielle!

I love supporting small businesses because it is such a personal experience. I have used a local artist to help create home portraits for my husband when we bought our new home. She took the time to get specific details to make the portrait so much more personal than a big business would. I also love it because you are giving to a much better mission than a large company and it’s helping support someone else’s passion!

Thanks to CD and all your amazing products!

Besides yours of course (seriously, though, I ended up placing four orders in the first few weeks after I discovered you in October!), I'm obsessed with headbands from Happy Headband Co (fellow Michigander!), and teacher apparel from Lipstick Littles and Teach Create Motivate. All are super cute and super comfy - and (just like you!) their owners are inspiring, genuine women who I can relate to!

I love all the little boutiques that are in Frankfort, Michigan where I live! I always support them when I can! Also a huuugeeee Callie fan :)

One of my favorites is Birdawgboutique! She’s online and posts on Instagram. She makes super cute shirts!

I love Willows Bows for my daughter!

Yours! And to know I help someone get closer to their dream! 💛

I love Formed Designs’ earrings!!! I think you posted about her and that’s how I found her! I also have a few friends who have small businesses that I love to support-happy to share with anyone interested. They do clay earrings, another does really cool Polaroids of saints, and the last one embroidery!

A couple of my favorite small businesses are: Studio B (she makes keychains, chapstick holders, scrunchies, and just recently dog collars) and Madison and Mallory (a boutique that has really cute clothes).

@bday.designs Makes the cutest homemade clay earrings!!
