Fun Finds at Market

Fun Finds at Market

by | fun finds

I have a dream of owning a little gift shop someday.  I love buying unique gifts for family and friends and I am always on the lookout for some fun finds.  I help a couple of my clients with their retail shop marketing, and with being a retail shop owner comes…..MARKET!  I have never been to “market” before, but I do watch closely on Instagram each season it is happening for fun new products.  Earlier this year I was keeping an eye on items from The Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings Market via Instagram, #atlmkt

 

Here are some unique items I found:

 

Obsessed with this lamp from Doublemint Home.

How adorable is this tooth fairy kit from Tree by Kerri Lee !?! I don’t know about you, but I never wanted to leave my teeth under my pillow!

This set from Emily McCarthy is party ready!

These items from Night Owl Paper Goods are so cute….especially those wooden bookmarks!

Umm, who doesn’t want to recieve a Confettigram?!!!  Amazing stuff from Inklings Paperie.

These mugs are gorgeous! Enamelware handmade in Turkey by Bornn

Absolutely beautiful embroidery in this American & Beyond Bohemian luxury eco-conscious brand.

A clever way for easy floral arrangement by Annabelle Noel Designs.

So good. Mug design by Dancing Elephant. 

Ok, so I actually knew about this last year – see photo ….but it is so amazing!  No dye needed for Easter eggs.  Thank you Eggmazing!  Just in time for Easter next month…

A baby changes you.  Your mother having cancer for no reason scares you.  Your family members having to have pieces of their skin cut out because of sun damage scares you.

With that said… this mama is making changes.  We eat healthier, we exercise regularly, we live a balanced life, and we do research as to what some of the best sun protection lotions, sunscreens, SPF clothing, and beach gear are.  We do the best we can with what we can and we protect our families, our babies, and ourselves the best we can.

I have done some research on what I feel would be safe for my kids and for myself.  Note that I am not an expert, just a mom that has talked with other moms, read online and done some research on what I would feel comfortable using myself.
