Oh, Baby!

There have been as many showers outdoors as indoors lately! We don't have umbrellas to prepare you for the rain, but we do have fantastic baby gifts to prepare you for the parties!

This poetic journal by Nikki McClure

allows for a mother to record important events for the first 1,000 days of her baby's life. It has pages specifically for recording baby's first sounds, stories, best friends, and favorite books.

Farmer's Market BFF's

We love Saturdays in downtown Knoxville! Mostly because we get to eat Cruze Farm ice cream for lunch, but also because we get to see all our farmer's market friends. For instance...

Hannah Turpin is the brains behind Buzzabee. She works in Oak Ridge by day, is a candle making pro by night, and even has a booth at the farmer's market!

Anika Toro also has a booth at the farmer's market. She is a local photographer and makes lovely cards and lamps for us. We especially love her Heartsphere card!

I've seen so many people walking around with sunflowers! These cards by Jill Sanders are perfect from marketeer to marketeer.

Mason jars are all over farmer's market. We figured that maybe we should jump on the bandwagon! This adorable design by Open Eyes Press is available on towels for $17.95 or in print form for $20.95. They're going fast, so come scoop one up for your kitchen!

If you are like us and can't get enough of Saturday morning Farmer's Market, come see us all week and get your fix whenever the urge strikes! Happy shopping, ya'll!
