Shoals Shop Boutique #1
Happy Monday,
We had an amazing time this past Saturday at the first-ever Shoals Shop Boutique! We got to meet new customers, shop with other stores, try freeze-dried candy for the first time (compliments to Too Sweet Treats by Yvonne Fisher), meet other business owners, and learn more about their passion and drive for doing what they do. What makes events like these so special is that we are all small, locally owned and operated businesses. This means that the people who are checking you out are the same people who are buying inventory, posting on social accounts, and working hard to make their business fit your personal needs.
The importance of shopping small
When you shop small, you are supporting someone in your local community, which not only benefits that business, but also benefits you by boosting your local economy, keeping people employed, and of course, making someone’s passion and hard work pay off.
Vendor run-down
Too Sweet Treats
Too Sweet Treats specializes in freeze-dried candy and they brought their best stuff to SSB this weekend. We got to try freeze-dried nerds gummy clusters, fruit roll-ups, skittles, m&m’s, milk duds, and so much more. Yvonne and her entire family/friends who showed up to help her out were some of the friendliest people we have met. We hope to have them back again soon.
It’s Jelly By Susan Hill
It’s Jelly is a GMM favorite, if you enjoy homemade apple butter, pear preserves, pineapple-jalapeno marmalade, and much more, then you have to check her out online. We met Susan when she and her daughter became returning customers at GMM and eventually learned of her hobby of making these homemade jellies for her family and friends. We are so excited that she has decided to sell these and allow the public to indulge in her craft just like we have.
Enchanted Trinkets
Enchanted Trinkets is an online handcrafted jewelry store, owned and operated by Aislinn Skye Smith. To say Aislinn has a huge variety, would be an understatement. Aislinn has all types of jewelry, especially earrings, for all types of styles and preferences. Look out for her name at the next event we have, you will not be disappointed.
Sew Krazy Boutique
Sew Krazy brought their best to our pop-up event on Saturday. From Stylish Stanley Dupes to faux Gucci belts, they have you covered on all the trends you need to stay on point. They have a wide variety of closet staples and jeans at an amazing price! Shop with them online or at their store, they are so friendly and can help you find exactly what you are looking for.
Wilder Grace Boutique
Wilder Grace Boutique traveled from Loretto, Tennessee to serve the Shoals on Saturday. If you are into bright colors and the top trends, you have got to check them out. Our favorite thing about their store is that their passion doesn’t stop at clothing, their accessories and jewelry are just as eye-catching as their outfits. Check them out if you want to stand out from head to toe.
Kodee Lissa Boutique
Kodee Lissa is THE go-to boutique if you have a bohemian flair, her knack for choosing inventory is unmatched! From eye-catching dresses to the best of the best shorts and accessories, we can assure you that shopping with Kodee Lissa will give you that exciting feeling you get when you buy the perfect outfit.
Gigi’s Trucker Hat Bar
We had no idea how exciting trucker hats could be, Gigi’s Trcuker Hat Bar has an unlimited amount of accessories to add to your own custom hat along with pre-made hats that are to die for. No matter your style, she is sure to make a hat that is perfect and unique to you!
Charlottes in Sheffield
Charlottes were located inside our store this past Saturday and came with a variety of decor, glassware, door-hangers, Volcano candles, Sweet Grace wax melts, and our favorite, Tyler Candle Company Products in a variety of different scents. Our favorite has got to be her wine glasses in colors like hot pink, blue, orange, yellow, mauve, and many more. We hope to see her back again and can’t wait to shop with her soon.
Gholston’s BBQ
Gholston’s BBQ kept everyone extremely well fed this weekend, collard greens, smoked Mac n cheese, nachos, and the best barbecue in the Shoals! We hope they can make it back to our lot soon, if not we will have to track them down like everyone else!
Thank you to all of the vendors, customers, and newfound friends. See you at SSB #2
Love, GMM
