So you need to shop, but you really just can’t just imagine facing the crowds today. Good news– you can shop online and support local.   If you haven’t been introduced, may I have the pleasure of introducing Magpie Lovely.

Holly Craig, local Nashville girl, opened up this new site a couple months ago. Holly is not new to the entrepreneurial world.  She has owned three custom stationary /gift boutiques including: Starfish Boutique in Nashville, The Bees Knees in Ohio and The Lily Pad in Pennsylvania.  She also was President of Pears and Bears for about 18 months under Kayce Hughes.  Why do I tell you all this?  To reinforce how great her eye is and how Magpie Lovely brings to us all of Holly’s eye and experience.

From Magpie Lovely. Just $48. Holiday party? Done.

Holly and I are pretty similiar on many fronts: we both have that crazy gene that loves a start up buisiness; we both love to support local and small businesses; we both are tired of cheap mass produced crap and want something better for our money.  Is this you, too?  Oh, please say it is…..In fact, here is what Holly says about herself: My name is Holly Craig and I love beautiful things. I am passionate about small businesses and the people who run them. I am tired of spending money on things that are poorly made or that are not unique. I am trying to do a better job of living a greener life. I do not, however, drive a car that you plug-in, I have never saved a whale and I am a firm believer in air-conditioning. I love my kids, my family and our beautiful and amazing planet.

Kagoo bag. $99.

I have had the pleasure of buying a top and a necklace from this site and they both oozed quality. If this is what you have in mind for Holiday shopping, and please at least consider this philosophy into part of your Holiday money spending, then order before Sunday as most things on the Magpie Lovely are handmade to order and have a 2-3 week turn around time.  Wow– handmade to order!  I’m usually a medium and I ordered a large in my tee shirt and I’m glad I did.  But each design is different, so if you have any sizing questions, email Holly (her email is on the site) and she’ll advise you.  She has scouted the country for quality goods handmade by industrious women.  Supporting her supports them as well.

Little Girls Pop Dress $44.

Ahhhhhh, I thought after all that sweet potato pie that I might not be able to write this post, but another pie was calling: a Magpie.
