SHOP. BLOG. GATHER.
Do y’all know what Saturday is?!?! Small Business Saturday! Wahoo!
I was born and raised in a small town. I’ve seen the same people work hard all their lives and provide for their families locally. I’ve seen community matter when nothing else did. I learned at a young age to shop small when you can. Our society is so technology savvy now. It’s as simple as getting online, hitting a button, and the package arrives at your door. You never even had to get up and get dressed, BUT let me tell you what’s way more rewarding. Spending your money to a hard working, locally owned business/family and seeing it provide for their little girl’s soccer season, their son’s first truck, a family member’s medical needs, and helping them live and keep the doors open Monday-Saturday. It may take a little more effort and time, but shopping with small businesses is the best way to shop. You’re making connections and helping others.
I’m listing a few of our local shops that are my favorite:
Jenn’s Southern Threadz Boutique Conway, SC

Small Town Girl,
Perfect. Just adding surf and paddleboards to the Detour… after all we are a river town.
Island Inspired Board Company. The only place to get exceptional paddle boards and surfboard that are always hand made right here in Horry County by a Conway native. Thanks for a great blog and the opportunity to add to it. Blessings on your opening. We will be out to shop!
