Shopping small and local is something I do when I can. I’m not a purist, but I love to support local people creating, hustling, and doing good things.
Since Baby Boy will be joining us (hopefully) tomorrow, I have picked up a few sweet things for him as we anxiously await his arrival. These are some of my favorite shops that could be small, could be local, or could be both. Here we go…
Littlefield Co.
A sweet Momma runs this shop and is expecting her fourth babe any day now. Faith is a creative, Jesus-loving wife and mom who started this little shop this year. She handcrafts beautiful pacifier clips, teethers, and teething necklaces right here in Iowa. All her things are beautiful and our little guy has a pacifier clip ready for him when he gets here.
Lou Lou and Company
Although this shop isn’t local, it’s a new favorite of mine. Lou Lou and Company puts together newborn essentials every mom would love. The fabric is soft and stretchy and comes in the most beautiful colors. I mentioned last week I am bringing their newborn essential set to the hospital with me. They recently released a separate line that is dreamy and I hope to pick up a few pieces when Baby Boy grows a bit.
Oh So Vera
If you’ve been around here long, you have heard me mention Oh So Vera. A small shop located in Lincoln, Nebraska, Oh So Vera creates twirl dresses, leggings, and headbands for littles. I picked up a few pairs of leggings for Jude when he was born and I am planning on using them for this babe as well. I also found a new pair during their sale this spring and they still have some left in 0-3 months. These leggings are soft and just so stinking adorable.
Briar Handmade
This shop is just about the sweetest. Their bonnets are lovely and make me want to have all the babies. They had a sale this spring and I ordered Baby Boy a neutral one he can where the rest of the summer and into the fall. Check them out.
Do you have any go-to shops for babes? I would love to hear!
