Shop local!

 

Hi everyone! I hope you're all well during these uncertain times. This particular post is going to be about all the independent shops I love and hope you will too. Its such a horrible time for small businesses so I know I'll be turning towards them during and after the lockdown lifts for everything I can do. All of the stores mentioned in this post has the most lovely teams and can't do enough; so please check them out!

Don't forget, you don't have to purchase from a business to support them, as the photo above says: liking, commenting, sharing and promoting is great too!
