Check Out our Netflix Debut!

June 30, 2022

Have you seen the Netflix hit “Marriage or Mortgage?”

Notice anyone familiar in Episode 7?

That’s right, it’s us!

The hit show’s producers reached out to us in 2019 (yep, pre-pandemic) about filming an episode segment in our L&L Market location on Charlotte Avenue in Nashville. We jumped at the chance, and here we are more than a year later with a fun streaming TV appearance under our belt.

Haven’t seen the show? Here’s the deal: each episode features a real couple with a healthy nest egg. With the help of Nashville realtor Nichole Holmes and Nashville wedding planner Sarah Miller, they’ll decide whether to spend their savings on a house or a dream wedding. The first season of the show is part house hunting, part wedding planning, and 100% based in Nashville. Each episode showcases a few of our favorite neighborhoods and some of the city’s most creative businesses and venues. We were honored to be “cast” alongside Textile Fabrics, Olia Zavozina, and Taylor’d Crowns.

In episode 7, you can see super-pregnant owner, Sarah Pounders, behind the register at Made in TN as TV couple Hayley and Andrew choose gifts and favors for their wedding party. This couple put so much thought into celebrating with their community, and custom favors and gifts were at the top of their list. Hayley and Andrew were on a mission to choose just the right combination of local products that would welcome guests to Nashville, make them feel appreciated, and give them a little Nashville souvenir to take home.

Working with wedding planner Sarah Miller was a great chance for us to show a national audience just how we serve our wedding customers. We love helping couples create special gifts for hotel welcomes, bridesmaids and groomsmen. We even help with wedding favors by the hundreds, offering bulk pricing on customized gifts (a pretty rare find in the wedding industry). We truly love collaborating with wedding planners and couples to make their big days personal and special.

We had so much fun working with the Marriage or Mortgage crew, and we were thrilled at the opportunity to give some of our makers and vendors a little air time. Watch the episode to catch glimpses of Music City Suds, Loveless Cafe, Nashville Jam Company, Hoff BBQ sauce, Little Seed Farm, and Sweet Tea Candle Co. You’ll even get in on a discussion about hot sauce heat, Thistle Farms’ gorgeous candles, and a lot of love for the Bourbon and Cedar scent from Olivina Men.

We won’t spoil the episode for you, but after getting to know their story, we fully support Hayley and Andrew’s decision. Don’t miss Marriage or Mortgage on Netflix, and find Sarah and Aubri (still snug as a bug in Sarah’s belly) in Episode 7, around the 15-minute mark.

Did you catch us in Franklin Lifestyle?

April 13, 2021

We were thrilled to be interviewed in Franklin Lifestyle in April 2021 as a “Local’s Choice” feature. If you follow us on social media, you might have seen our Instagram post when the magazine hit the shelves around town. We tend to keep the spotlight on our vendors and artisans, which means we don’t talk about ourselves much. But as a small family-owned business that we started from scratch...well, that kind of attention is pretty exciting! 

The article was a great nudge to pause and reflect on just how far we’ve come. We started out with the simple idea to package the artisan delights we found at our local farmer’s market into unique corporate and visitor gifts. In the process, we got to know the stories behind the vendors and products we love, and what can we say? We were hooked on local.

We had no idea at the time that our gift basket side hustle would grow into two thriving brick-and-mortar shops (Nashville and Franklin) and two very successful online gift brands, High Note Gifts and Made in Tennessee. 

Most businesses start as physical locations, then open an online platform, but we did the opposite. After some very successful years as an online store, we decided to set up shop in The Factory at Franklin in 2017. Our goal wasn’t even to make more sales; we were just really craving that personal connection with our customers. It worked so well that we did it again in 2019, at L&L Market on Charlotte Avenue in Nashville. Bringing this business to life in physical space(s) was an absolute dream come true - we even got to hire some of our favorite local carpenters and artists to make the stores special. 

Another reason we were so excited to be featured in Franklin Lifestyles was the chance to get a little press for our vendors. The article spotlighted some of our best-selling artists and local businesses, from Music City Suds Soaps and JM Thomason spices to Dear Mushka Jewelry and Sweet Tea Candles. Our artisans and vendors are truly the heart of our business and our mission, so we loved seeing their names in print just as much as seeing our own. 

We had so much fun giving our neighbors a little peek behind the curtain and taking the opportunity to introduce our family business. Baby Aubri even made it into the photo shoot—what a lovely time capsule for our family and our company!  

Thanks, Franklin Lifestyle!

10 Things To Love About Tennessee

March 06, 2017

Tennessee, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways!

  1. You’re truly the volunteer state and that means when your neighbors are in need, you roll up your sleeves, dig deep, and give big. Like when we rebuilt Nashville after the flood.  Or supported those who lost cabins in Gatlinburg during the wildfires.  
  1. You are home to a people that still know how to say “please”, “thank you”, “how are you”, “bless your heart”, and “y’all come back, now”. 
  1. You brought the world GooGoo Clusters, Moonpies, Cotton Candy, and Jack Daniels, among other amazing things.
  1. You’re the Music capital of the world. Nashville and Memphis in the same state? We’ve got blues, country, gospel and more.
  1. You give us an escape to the Smoky Mountains, hikes to waterfalls, big city lights, and windy backroads to small towns.
  1. You know how to do bbq, biscuits, and hot chicken right!
  1. There are four seasons even if Spring and Autumn are never long enough.
  1. Income. Tax.
  1. Football or Hockey? We’ve got both! 
  1. You host the Banana Pudding Festival, RC Moonpie Festival, Mule Day, Memphis in May, Bonaroo, CMA Music Festival, and more fun events. 

We believe that Tennessee is home to the best people, places, and things.  We love the creative spirit that Tennesseans have cultivated and are so impressed with the items made in our home state that we wanted to make it simple to find these great products and have them shipped right to your door or sent as a gift to someone else.  

So even if you can’t make it to a local Tennessee storefront or farmer’s market, you’ll be able to get the best products made in Tennessee all in one accessible site. 

We’ll be adding more products along the way and welcome your feedback, suggestions, and comments.  We would love to hear what some of your favorite Tennessee made products are and why you love them so much.  Share with us in the comments below.
