Sometimes the best part of owning a small business is remembering why you fell in love with shopping small in the first place!
Oh, what a WONDERFUL evening!!
Honey and I attended Christmas in the Country’s Sip & Shop in Merrill, and what an incredible experience!
For the first time, we bought tickets and got to enjoy the evening as SHOPPERS! And boy, were we reminded why we love doing what we do!
Shopping the amazing local artists, running into friends, visiting with a couple of our very own Honey & Ivy vendors, B.P. Bees and HBR Creations (who catered the evening!), and simply spending time together made for such a special night!
And did we SHOP!! Let’s just say we came home with a CARLOAD of fabulous finds!
I can hardly wait to show you my INCREDIBLE new plant cabinet! And Honey and I each scored a one-of-a-kind repurposed denim jacket that we absolutely fell in love with!
Being small business owners ourselves has given us an even greater appreciation for the creativity, hard work, and heart that go into events like this. What a wonderful reminder of just how much talent we have right here in our community!
AND THE BEST PART? THE FUN ISN’T OVER!
If you haven’t made it to Christmas in the Country yet, grab a friend and head out to Merrill! There are so many beautiful, unique, handcrafted pieces and fabulous vendors to shop!
