One of the coolest things about owning your own business is following fun opportunities when they come along. 
You’ve obviously seen a lot of our shop around here the last 2 years, and it’s been so much fun to share it with you and to watch things grow and change. Matt and I, along with the rest of the team, are excited to see which doors fully open and what we launch in 2015. 
For today, though, we wanted to drop a bug in your ear(s). We’ve gotten to know lots of other cool business owners, and occasionally, the mood strikes and people start having conversations. 
Enter the folks at Cotton Creek. We’ve got a lot of the same aesthetic, and we keep knocking around the idea of opening a holiday pop-up shop, merging our shops to create a fun lifestyle, one stop shop. 
It occurred to me that we post so much here, and we normally wait until there’s a big announcement before posting. But…you guys are a great source of ideas, too, and have sent us some great info and thoughts in the past. 
Think the masculine-ish version of my shop, a lifestyle shop for clothing and decor. Are there any fun locations close to you where you can see our store ending up? We’d love to bring a shop to a city near you. Leave us any ideas in the comments below–we’ll see where we end up.\
P.S. If you want to follow the guys at Cotton Creek (whose style we love), follow them on Instagram and Facebook.
I can totally see y’all in Sylvester & Co on Broughton Street in Savannah, Ga.

Thanks, Lauren!
Pace, Florida just outside of Pensacola needs something like this!!
Thank you, Sabrina. We’ve thought about that!
🙂
This has to be the single best idea for small business I’ve heard in years! Sharing space, fantastic idea for both sides! I LOVE IT!
If y’all do this, I can finally go to see a MMS “store” in person!
Oh My Goodness! I would gladly drive the 5 hours to Savanna Ga.
Oh I’m excited!
Thank you, Hope. We’re excited about it, too. We’ll see if we make it work!

Near your beach condo.. I don’t live to far from there!
Thanks, Janet! We’ve definitely considered near the beach….could be fun!!
🙂
Seaside
Yes, Mrs. Nancy! Definitely an option. Keep us in mind and let us know if you hear of anything interesting!
🙂
Or Seacrest beach where Stephanie carter got her start in a kiosk
Nothing like that in our town, for SURE! Love it, maybe Indianapolis (I could drive there 🙂
Asheville, NC!
We would love to have on in the Marietta Square!! Marietta, GA!!!
I could also see one of these in Greenville, SC!!
Our little home town of Opp. Lots of chalk paint love here, as well as love of your type of vibe for a store. Maybe not quite as exciting as the beach, but a lot of love!
Here’s the thing….love your blog, bought your book, clicked on a few affiliate links HOWEVER the ads on the left hand of the bag cover the edge of your content! Not classy or useful or conducive to continuing to read the blog. Maybe you’re not aware of this problem. Hope it can be corrected….
Sorry, should have been “right hand of the PAGE”. Please forgive my error.
Hey Nan, I’m so sorry about that, we are really trying to get that fixed. Can you tell me if you are reading on a computer or a mobile device? Thanks,
MAtt

Cotton Creek is always a good choice.
Your holiday pop up shop is a very interesting initiative.
awesome!
Oh PLEASE pop into Florence, AL!! The shop would POP on Court Street!!! Pretty Please?!!
There is a great venue in Brewton, AL called ‘The Hourglass’. I know they are on FB. It is basically an old (beautiful brick/wood walls) building in downtown Brewton. Brewton is also the location of NDI’s outlet, “The Cracked Pot”. If you have never been on Belleville Avenue you will be amazed at the homes. Also home of one of the oldest banks. Check them out and they are convenient to P’cola/Pace/Atmore/Andalusia, etc., and when NDI is having an event, folks even come from many out of state locations.
How about popping over to the midwest and try a quaint little town named Kimmswick, in Missouri? This town is filled with shoppers year round and one of a kind shops with a year round Christmas Shop to specialty boutiques, antique stores filled with furniture and miscellaneous wonders, handmade children’s clothing and on and on and on, including some of the best food (Oprah has even mentioned the Blue Owl desserts) all in a down home environment. Cotton Creek would be right at home and a perfect addition!
Tequesta, Florida..(Jupiter, Fl)…definitely needs some thing like this! Southern prep is huge here, with very limited brick and mortar shops…c’mon down ;)…I have a competent & enthusiastic managing partner for you!
