It's officially the best season of the year!! While I eagerly await the crisp air, crunchy leaves, and chilly weather, I've put together this curated guide filled with cozy and cute small businesses and creators to support this season! 🎃
Let's go!~

Busy Hands Co. - Handmade Resin and Clay Creations
Ashleigh uses resin, clay, and mixed media to make really cute accessories, home decor, and charms! One of my favorite purchases was my pumpkin clay earrings, but I own some trinket dishes as well. If you want to add some spooky accessories or charms to your life, Busy Hands Co. is the way to go!
The Uwu Snail - Kpop Photo Charms and Kpop Accessories
I don't know about you, but fall = binging kpop MVs and rewatching kpop game shows from Gen 2 and Gen 3 groups...the golden era *nostalgic sigh* ! Claire is THE source for kpop deco charms inspired by top loaders and the coveted photocards. Sprinkle in some cute Croc charms and you have the perfect accessories to show off your top biases, from the most popular groups to the super new groups!
Feyly - Cozy Scents, Candles, and Face/Body Care
One of my favorite ways to get in the cozy spirit and do a little self-care is by using special scents, lotions, and home fragrances. I LOVE candles, so for obvious reasons, I had to add Feyly to the list!! The lack of sun can be a bit of a bummer, so candles are an amazing way to bring your spirits back up. Plus, what better thing to do than support a magical, woman-owned small business!
My Cozy Days - The Coziest, Comfiest Home Café & Stationery Shop
Aside from an amazing aesthetic, My Cozy Days offers the cutest and coziest accessories for your day-to-day life. The home café theme is the perfect complement to your favorite yummy seasonal drinks, and the accessories are too cute to ignore. Adorable all the way around...a cozy day indeed!!
Minii MoonandSun - The Tiniest, Most Adorable Clay Charms, Jewelry, & Accessories
I don't know how Linda does it, but she makes the most perfect tiny creations I've ever seen!! Her Halloween and spooky season pieces are to ~die~ for, haha. Her charms are precious, but her jewelry is even more amazing! I don't even know how else to explain this, you'll just need to see it for yourself *wink* (click that link)!
Trinket Sorceress - Unique, Personally Designed Headphone Accessories
What is fall for if not for putting in insane hours to your favorite games? And who doesn't want to decorate their headphones to make playing games even more fun? I mean, accessories improve performance and fun, right? It's science, probably! So obviously you need to check out Trinket Sorceress's shop and pick out your faves, right? Shopping small + supporting girl-owned businesses? Ultimate win!!
Create-O Potatoe - Unique Characters and Adorable Stationery
One of my favorites!! I'm personally subscribed to her monthly ko-fi mail, I just can't miss a single thing!! This is a black-owned, woman-owned, TRADEMARKED small business owned by Danyel...we LOVE seeing black women thrive and succeed in this house!! The adorable, cozy characters and all their funny stories are so wholesome, especially the seasonal peeks into their world. It's hard not to love them all right off the bat--too irresistible! Come on! Join the potatoe cult! (Okay, Dannie might not want me to say cult... but it's so serious to me pls check it out!!)
Vanilla Cookie Star - Adorable and Fun Colorful Art
The cutest lil' chubby strawbs and chibi characters and art! I love the style so much, and I think cute art is the perfect addition to life year-round! Vanilla makes lots of kawaii art, and is even venturing into something amazing with their new strawberry purse! The world is brighter with precious art all around, especially during the cooling months of the year!~
Whimsical Luna Creations - Whimsical Crystal Infused Clay Art
Whimsical Luna Creations' art is possibly the MOST whimsical art I've ever seen! It's even cuter that it's a bit of a family project, with features of creations made by the mom and sister, too--cute!! I've never wanted to be a faerie more in my life, honestly, but until that happens, a piece from a magical faerie land will do.~
Mooey And Friends - Crochet Creations and Cozy Content
And last but not least-- a special thanks to the one who indirectly inspired this!! I was a blogger before I was a small business owner, and reading Michelle's blog posts lately has not only been a cozy pastime but has also inspired me tremendously in many areas of my day! From blogging to reading, to my favorite cozy hobbies, I can't help but feel excited again to get back in touch with those parts of my life after reading her blog posts. Her content is so comforting and cozy, absolutely perfect for the fall season ahead! Plus, INFJ's unite!! Regardless of how cool and relatable Michelle is, her content is so comforting, and her love of cows is endearing. I had to include her here!~

And that's all for this season! It was so fun seeing what everyone is doing for the season, and appreciating the art that each of these lovely people put out into the world. I'm personally inspired by each person on this list, and I am so happy to share them with you! If you're looking for small businesses to support, consider one of these! The world is scary, and our money matters now more than ever, so why not give yourself something unique and made with love while also supporting fellow creatives and making someone's day, week, or sometimes month! Besides, a billionaire would never notice you, but a small business does! 👀 Share the love, give your money power and purpose, and get something amazing to boost your life!~

Want to be in a future list? Let me know so I can check out your shop!
Why am I doing this? Because community is everything and with the increasingly fast-paced changes in social media, community and connections are taking a backseat as social media becomes more about 7-second videos and less about keeping up with people and shops you love. This is my small contribution to encourage us to get back to connection and sharing good vibes...let me know what you think! <3
