        🎄✨ Bring some timeless magic to your holidays 🎄✨ Bring some timeless magic to your holidays! ✨🎄 This season, skip the big-box stores and hunt for treasures at your local antique shops. Vintage Christmas decorations not only add charm but come with stories of Christmases past. Whether it’s a box of delicate glass ornaments or a perfectly patinaed tree topper, these finds make your decor uniquely you. Repurposing tip: Create a show-stopping centerpiece by filling a bowl or vase with vintage ornaments, or string them into a garland for a touch of nostalgia. Shopping small this holiday season supports local businesses AND brings the beauty of tradition to your home. Do you have any vintage holiday decorations? You won't be surprised that I got all pink vintage ornaments. 🎄🩷 #ShopSmall #VintageChristmas #AntiqueOrnaments #HolidayMagic #SustainableDecor #bellowsfalls
        Support Local This Holiday Season: Five Easy Ways Support Local This Holiday Season: Five Easy Ways to Make a Big Difference The holiday season is here, and it’s the perfect time to spread some cheer while making an impact in your community. Supporting local businesses doesn’t just feel good—it strengthens your local economy, fosters connections, and keeps unique shops and services thriving. Here are five simple but impactful ways to show some love to local businesses and services this holiday season: 1. Shop Small for Gifts Skip the big-box stores and find unique, meaningful presents at local shops. Many small businesses offer handcrafted, unique items you won’t find anywhere else. Bonus: Your gift comes with a story; the recipient will love the extra thought. 2. Purchase Gift Cards Not sure what to buy? Gift cards are a win-win! They give the recipient the freedom to choose while guaranteeing your support to local restaurants, boutiques, and service providers. 3. Promote Local on Social Media Share the love online! Post about your favorite local finds, tag businesses, and write reviews. Word of mouth—especially digital word of mouth—can bring in new customers and boost visibility. 4. Order from Local Eateries Hosting a holiday gathering? Skip the cooking and order from local restaurants, bakeries, or catering services. It’s a delicious way to support local culinary talent while making your life easier. 5. Attend Local Events and Markets Holiday markets and events are a great way to find unique gifts, enjoy festive vibes, and connect with local makers and artists. Bring a friend and make it a tradition! We have several fantastic craft fairs in our town. This season, let’s prioritize giving back to the businesses and services that make our communities special. Every purchase, post, or visit helps keep local dreams alive—now that’s holiday magic! #shopsmall #shoplocal #smallbusiness #smallbusinesssupport #holidayshopping #smallbusinesssaturday #holidayseason #shopsmallbusinesses #shophandmadelove

        If you’re as obsessed with iconic fashion moment If you’re as obsessed with iconic fashion moments as I am, then stop what you’re doing and RUN to watch Happy Clothes: A Film About Patricia Field! This celebration of Patricia Field’s genius is like stepping into Carrie Bradshaw’s closet—where bold choices and unapologetic confidence reign supreme. From tutu skirts to that unforgettable Dior newspaper dress, Patricia Field didn’t just style Sex and the City—she made it a moment. Every sequin, feather, and unexpected color combo whispered: Why fit in when you can stand out? Watching Happy Clothes is like a masterclass in fearless self-expression. Patricia’s ability to create characters through their wardrobe? Absolute artistry. It reminded me why Carrie Bradshaw is forever my fashion icon. Whether she’s strutting through Manhattan in mismatched prints or writing her next column in a tulle skirt and heels, Carrie taught us that fashion is storytelling—and nobody tells a better story than Patricia Field. And speaking of fabulous, I’ve decided to channel my inner Carrie and Patricia while writing. I now wear a tiara in my office—yes, my husband thinks it’s weird, but Patricia and Carrie would totally approve. A tiara in the office is the ultimate power move—proof that we’re ruling our creative kingdoms. Imagine all the fabulous ideas and sentences flowing with that kind of energy. 👑✨ If you’re in the mood for joy, inspiration, and a deep dive into how style shapes culture, add Happy Clothes to your must-watch list ASAP. And while you’re at it, maybe put on something fabulous. After all, as Carrie said, “I like my money right where I can see it—hanging in my closet.” 👜👠✨ What’s your favorite Patricia Field x Carrie look? Let’s talk closet goals in the comments! #happyclothes #carriebradshaw #carriebradshawstyle #writerslifeforme
