Estelle Colored Glass
It is no secret that we have been big fans of the irresistible hand blown glass company, Estelle Colored Glass, for quite some time now! Stephanie Summerson Hall, the brilliant mind behind this South Carolina based brand, founded her company to honor her late grandmother ‘Big Mama’ and her southern roots by providing customers with breathtaking pieces that serve as “jewels for the table”. From chic decanters, to playful pastel cake stands, to brightly colored stemware, Stephanie has charmed the tablescape loving community with a line of heirloom quality pieces that are sure to passed down to generations and tables to come. If you haven’t started your Estelle collection already, now’s the time to join in on the fun - We promise, you’ll fall in love instantly!
The Laundress
After battling with the age old question of whether or not to dry clean delicate pieces of their wardrobes for far too long, The Laundress owner’s, Gwen Whiting and Lindsey Boyd, set out to “take the chore out of doing laundry” in 2004. The Laundress now has an extensive line of environmentally safe cleaning products ranging from laundry detergent, to hand soaps, to bleach alternatives, to all purpose cleaners that keep your clothes and your home fresh without any unnecessary or harmful chemicals. We adore these products not only because they are natural and safe to use, but also because they leave our laundry and house smelling lovely for days and weeks to come! Check out some of our go to products below!
Hampden Clothing
We always love finding a local one stop shop with all of our favorite brands, and Stacy Smallwood’s Hampden Clothing located on King Street in Charleston has everything fashion lovers like us could ever dream of! We cannot wait to shop this beautifully curated edit when we are in Charleston in July, but for those of you who aren’t able to join us, no worries! You’re able to shop the same brilliant collection from the comfort of your own home. Featuring some of our favorite brands like Ulla Johnson, Zimmermann, Mignonne Gavigan, and LoveShackFancy, this Charleston gem has everything you need when looking for the next investment piece to add to your wardrobe. Take a peek below at some of the things that are currently at the tippy top of our wishlist!
Moonseed Jewelry
We adore finding unique, statement earrings to mix into our daily wardrobe, and when we discover a new favorite from a female owned business, it makes the thrill of the hunt even better! Cathy Williams, founder and designer of Moon-Seed Jewelry, started her business in 2016 after experimenting with leftover materials from a grad school to make herself a new pair of earrings. Now, almost 5 years later, Cathy has developed a line of fun and funky wooden, acrylic, and resin earrings that are “art for your ears”. Each piece is made with love by Williams herself in her Charleston studio, and we have absolutely fallen in love with every design in this whimsical collection! Check out some of our favorite pieces below, and snap up a pair (or two!) to compliment all of your summer outfits!
Charleston Artist Collective
Calling all lovers of art! If your looking for a curated collection of whimsical and unique pieces of art, look no further than The Charleston Artist Collective! Founded by Allison Williams, the CAS is an online based business that provides local artists with the opportunity to share and sell their work to collectors, big and small, across the country. Each month, the collective shares a theme, and the artists create pieces that fall within that category to be sold online and in person at their Mt. Pleasant studio. The CAS donates 10% of each purchase to a variety of local charities, supporting their “creativty with a conscience” mantra. Check out some of our favorites from this month’s collection below!
Sohp Shop
Although our little isn’t so little anymore, we still remember the struggle of getting our kiddos to wash their hands! Chassity Evans, founder of Sohp Shop, has brilliantly solved this problem (with the help of her daughter Lily and son Fletcher) with the creation of her magical surprise suds! Each soap has a surprise treat inside that can be found after washing your hands multiple times, so the more you wash, the closer to the surprise you will get! Genius! Snap up a few of these adorable soaps for the littles in your life, and turn hand washing into an activity!
