Allison's favorite online shops
11.17.11

Although I'm a diehard local shopper, there are times that I need to whip out my debit card for a little online therapy. In light of the ever-present holiday shopping season, I've decided to mention a few of my favorite online small businesses. 

Fishs Eddy: A collection of linens, dinnerware & funky mugs. I originally discovered Fishs Eddy when my friends from Brooklyn (Hi Hatzes & Amanda) co-hosted a baby shower that featured darling striped paper straws. After numerous compliments (all by me), they told me about Fishs Eddy. I bookmarked the website that night.

Schoolhouse Electric: In a search for vintage reproduction light fixtures several years ago, I found Schoolhouse Electric. Their customer service and product quality is impeccable. Recently, they launched a brand new website with a collection of home furnishing goodies. I could write an entire blog article on how much I need this slipcover. But, I won't.

Brook Farm General Store: I love their clean white aesthetic mixed with natural woods and linens. Every time I visit their site, I'm inspired by their simple, classic product designs. 

Three Potato Four: They are now keeping weekend hours in Philly. I must visit! 

Pencil Shavings: Rachel is never afraid of a little bright color & I respect that. Someday soon, I will order the Gingham Iphone cover that I've been coveting. *The Pencil Shavings Blog is nice as well!

Forestbound: If I've been a good girl, there is a solid chance that I might have one of these bags under the Christmas tree this year. :)

Blue Eye Brown Eye: I met Lauren at an event that chirps & cheers hosted last year and I've been following her since. I love her embroidered cards.

Urban Remains: For as many years as I can recall, I've been an industrial vintage nut. There have been several times that I've considered flying to Chicago for the sole purpose of driving a Uhaul back filled with pieces from Urban Remains.
