Local love.

I can't tell you how much I LOVE shopping at independently owned shops (and not just b/c of the obvious).

  

The other night my best friend and I were invited to go to Olive My Heart, a new specialty extra virgin olive oil/ aged balsamic shop, located in Hudson, Ohio.

  

Wow. It was awesome!  I got a great gift for myself :) and one for my husband too.  

Everything about it was charming, the setting, the owners, and the product of course!

I will definitely be going back to stock up for the holiday season.  Who can't appreciate a great bottle of EVOO? 

I urge you to shop local.  When you shop local you are investing in your community, purchasing unique merchandise, and getting specialty service!

Shopping small is BIG! So do your part. 

Enjoy the pics.
