At buzzbetter, we have been spending a great amount of time building our new website pages and happily, receiving larger engagement from our followers. Today, we would like to feature our top U.S. small businesses who have such great products and continue to support other small shops on our instagram feed. With much appreciation, here is some more information about these four boutiques (listed in no particular order). As we continue to build out our pages by state, we hope you will take some time to take a look at these shops, follow, and maybe even support them if your heart desires. Qun Zuo - Award Winning JewelerQun Zuo is based out of Seattle, Washington carrying a gorgeous collection of jewelry with precious metals and gemstones. Her designs are elegantly made in abstract and geometric shapes; some of which appear to have a sense of movement as if they are about to dance like a swan flapping her wings and legs in a lake. At buzzbetter, we believe every piece of art should have a name and Qun Zuo appears to do just that for every set of earrings. This leads us to believe she has pure love for her work which we always admire. We are simply pleased to share her shop today and believe pictures do not clearly represent her fine work of art. Tipsy Whimsey - Metal MementosTipsy Whimsey, based in Cedar, Minnesota was established by Ann J. Doetkott. Doetkott creates a variety of lovely hand-stamped metal mementos; key chains, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings. All of which are uniquely designed with a custom phrase, motivational quote, or lucky words. Doetkott offers a mix of metals (silver, copper, and gold) giving the customer a variety to choose from. The metals are perfect tokens to keep close to your heart or right in your pocket. At buzzbetter, we personally appreciate hand-stamped work. It reminds me (Melinda) of my father's dog tags from Vietman which I dearly wish I could find. Needless to say and without a doubt, I believe Tipsy Whimsey products are truly meaningful gifts that family and friends would cherish for a lifetime. Morning Joy Co. - Custom laser-cut wood signs & home decorWe were first enamored by Morning Joy Co. when we came across a listing posted on instagram. Morning Joy Co. laser-cut wood signs and home decor are truly great gifts for family and friends. We were hooked the moment we noticed a recipe etched into a decorative cutting board. What a unique and excellent idea to forever cherish a family recipe. Additionally, we are always big fans of sleek, minimal, and somewhat rustic chic home decorations. Wood textures have a way of making someone feel right at home and cozy; especially beautifully placed on top of a fireplace mantle. Imagine yourself curled in a blanket by a lit fireplace, admiring your home accents while writing out Christmas cards. Better yet, why not greet your guests with an inspiring and welcoming quote right in your foyer. There are a number of ways one could integrate Morning Joy Co. designs into a warm and inviting home. We just love every one of them. Sal Y Limon - Colorful Authentic leather GoodsLastly, we are overjoyed to share Sal Y Limon authentic, handcrafted leather goods that are so very beautiful and bright. This lovely shop is based out of Waikoloa, Hawaii carrying a fantastic collection of colorful purses, wallets, and pouches. Each accessory is gorgeously created by master artisans - it can take anywhere from three to eight hours to make a wallet and up to a few weeks for each flower to be delicately carved into the leather. Every product is hand tooled, hand painted - absolutely divine and one of a kind! The moment we landed on Sal Y Limon's instagram profile page, we were in awe and immediately thought of which girlfriend would love a purse from this shop. Many consumers have likely come across Mexican, boho style purses but nothing as fine as these fashionable accessories. Most importantly, by purchasing a product from Sal Y Limon, "you are supporting various indigenous tribes and artisans that have perfected their craft over hundreds of years and their art form has been passed down from generation to generation." There is no doubt your friends will absolutely love a gift from this shop. As you are well aware, our objective is to support small businesses. Although, we do not purchase every item we see, online marketing is our way of sharing authentic, artisan shops so that consumers like us may also appreciate fine goods and jump for the chance to support small business too. Thank you for reading, have fun shopping, and have a Marvelous May!
