Support These 10 Creatives from the Comfort of Your Home
The Ultimate Shop Small Roundup for the Homebody
When it comes to adorning my home or closet, nothing thrills me more than the hunt for beautiful finds that are unique and thoughtfully designed by small businesses and artists. Supporting these small businesses and creatives allows them to keep doing what they do best—making the world, and our homes, a more beautiful place. Below, I’ve rounded up my wish list of items from 10 of my favorite creatives. Happy shopping and hope you have a wonderful holiday season.
SJ Bailey Co.
I first came across SJ watching a tour of her charming Atlanta cottage on Homeworthy. Immediately, I was captivated by her elegant and sophisticated style further captured in her handcrafted jewelry. From custom bridal designs to those that elevate everyday attire, SJ Bailey Co.’s delightful and lightweight earrings are as comfortable as they are chic. This selection is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to her site’s full offerings. I highly recommend you peruse the full lineup of SJ’s products. (Side note: It was an absolute dream writing an article on her first home in this year’s Spring issue of The Cottage Journal.)
Featured Finds
A Thing Created
If I could only name one artist that captures my aesthetic, it would be without a doubt Erisha of A Thing Created. Spanning dreamy locales and artful interiors to literature and glamorous Hollywood icons, her watercolors evoke classic elegance blended with lighthearted whimsy for a modern meets vintage vibe. Narrowing my wish list down to nine items was extremely difficult as my actually wish list is her entire Etsy inventory.
Featured Finds
For Pete’s Sake Pottery
This spring, I came across For Pete’s Sake Pottery when putting together a roundup of featured finds. Susan’s golf collection inspired a Master’s table setting and I had a blast styling a photoshoot featuring a few items from her tennis collection. The pastel palette of her designs evokes classic southern charm and I love that the pieces are hand-painted.
Featured Finds
Cuvée Home
In 2023, I had the honor of speaking with Bailey Ward about her interior design company and the intentionality she brought to the design of her own home. I knew then that she had an eye for details and designing products. Earlier this year, she launched Cuvée Home with her husband, William. The site offers both crafted and curated products that will add warmth and style to your home.
Featured Finds
Susan Gordon Pottery
From ruffled edges to pieces artfully adorned with hand-painted designs in soothing shades, Susan Gordon Pottery blends timeless beauty with modern living. I have a few items from her previous collections and an even longer list of future purchases I can’t wait to make. From florals to animal prints, she truly has something for everyone.
Featured Finds
ChappyWrap
There’s a reason I always feature ChappyWrap in almost every product roundup. My ChappyWrap is my absolute favorite blanket that is perfectly soft and just the right weight. I was thrilled when I saw they teamed up with Inslee Farris—another artist I admire. If I ever thought you could have too many blankets, this mother-daughter duo changed my mind. I want them all!
Featured Finds
Provvista
Setting the table is my love language and I love the passion Provvista has for designing products central to families and friends gathering together. I also love ceramics (if you haven’t noticed). From textured designs to floral and holiday designs, there are so many pieces that celebrate the holidays or can transition from season to season.
Featured Finds
Sunday Shoppe
This year has been the year of needlepoint and I love coming across new designers. When it comes to my hobbies and Sunday Shoppe just gets me! From my love of pjs to Bravo’s Real Housewives quotes and a toile golf square (I’m thinking a future coaster). I can’t wait to see what canvas designs she releases next.
Featured Finds
Chapters Tea & Co.
With lovely packaging you almost don’t want to open, it’s a good thing the depth of flavors inside make it worth opening. So far, Beach Reads is my favorite blend. However, I can’t wait to try more. The detailed packaging has my heart and I am determined to collect them all!
Featured Finds
Kate Chambers Designs
As an old soul, nothing comes close to a handwritten note on personalized stationery. These lovely designs by Kate Chambers have captured my heart and would be a beautiful addition to anyone’s collection. Each of the prints and patterns are elegant and absolutely dreamy!
