The Store That Sells Everything You Didn't Know You Wanted…read more I was wandering down what I think is called 12th Street in Nashville -- that trendy stretch where even the sidewalks feel cooler than me -- and I stumbled into White's Mercantile. This place is like if a country singer, an interior designer, and an old general store all decided to start a lifestyle brand together. It's packed with everything from candles that smell like wealth and nostalgia, to mugs that make you question your current kitchen aesthetic. There's leather, linen, and probably something made from reclaimed barn wood -- all tastefully arranged to make you wish your house looked like this. After exploring all the treasures and fighting the urge to buy things I couldn't pronounce, I did what any sensible shopper would do: I bought a book. Because clearly, I'm a minimalist at heart... just one browsing session away from becoming a home décor influencer. Final Verdict: White's Mercantile is dangerously charming -- the kind of store that makes you believe you need artisanal coasters and $40 soap.

I especially loved all the tomato-themed gifts. I just found out that the tomato is Tennessee's state fruit, then kept overhearing people talk about the annual Tomato Festival every August! Yes, I will need to see that one of these years! It was tough, but we finally decided on some souvenirs -- keychains, pens and hairclips -- to bring back to Cali. Super-friendly and helpful people. Reasonable prices. Easy street parking.

I struggled with the "Never look a gifthorse in the mouth" idiom for eons…read more It made me think I was on the spectrum and had somehow evaded detection by the Florida Public School System. To my credit, people are very poor at explaining it. To use another idiom, it's more or less the same thing as "Beggars can't be choosers". If you get 'ish for free, you have no right to bitch and moan about its quality. Anyway, the items in this shop are not free, but they are very much gift-worthy. If you want to seem funny or thoughtful or clever or witty towards someone you love (or perhaps someone you want to love you), this is the place to go. All manner of knick-knacks that are not junk, that are generally interesting, enlightening, or useful. Like a horse, with real good teeth.

My fiance and I first encountered Designs in Paper at the Nashville Pink Bridal show last month. We…read morewere immediately sold and wanting to pursue working with them after we both saw how they went above and beyond basic stationary, by creating fun little extras that wen with the wedding theme and couple. Such things include activity sheets for children and paper fortune tellers (you remember, from when you were growing up). So we decided to give them a basic run down of what we were looking for, and see what they could come up with to show at our first meeting. Well, our first meeting was February 7th (they are really popular it seems) and we were not disappointed. They took our idea for a japanese/jewish/southern style wedding and ran with it and while I will admit that they misspelled my fiance's first name, they made up for it by coming up with a preliminary example that was, in my opinion at least, just a hair shy of what we were looking for. The example had a beautiful, pink, East Asian motif that though it seemed to me more Chinese than Japanese, was definitely heading in the right direction. We look forward to seeing what they can do, now that we have met with them and gotten a chance to know each other better, I have high hopes for how far they can take our ideas and run with them. We are even having them do our Ketubah, as we found one we liked online, but we can't get it in the text format that we want, and will make it easier to read. So instead we gave them a printout of the design and another of the type of text print out we are looking to do to give them a better idea of what we were looking for. I am really excited to see where they take it in the coming months.
