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!

Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 10^th

If you can’t see Mom this Mother’s Day, send her a little something to let her know you’re thinking of her and appreciate her.  

Moms are always there for the ones they love and she deserves a little celebration in gratitude for all she does year-round.  This year, Mothers everywhere are facing even more unique challenges.

• Does she need a pick me up from staying at home with the little ones 24/7?
• Does she need a little happiness while being away from her grandbabies during this time?
• Does she need a reminder that she is enough even when homeschooling isn’t her strong suit?

Let us help you make Mom feel special.  We’ll send the gift you choose directly to her door with a thoughtful note from you! 

Shop our Mother's Day gifts now or make your own gift box you know she’ll love.

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESS

Everything in our collection, including the greeting cards, is made or designed by a local Tennessee artist or small business.  Supporting us and, in turn, supporting these local makers with an online purchase is appreciated now more than ever!  Thank you for being part of our community!

The new Made in TN Nashville location is finally ready to open the doors!  Come see us at the newly restored L&L Market at 3820 Charlotte Avenue in Nashville, TN.  

We have all of your favorites from local foods, home décor, jewelry, and other gifts carefully curated from local makers such as Nashville Jam Company, Olive & Sinclair Chocolate, Music City Suds, Sweet Tea Candle Company and many, many more.

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.  

2. 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”. 

3. You brought the world GooGoo Clusters, Moonpies, Cotton Candy, and Jack Daniels, among other amazing things.

4. You’re the Music capital of the world. Nashville and Memphis in the same state? We’ve got blues, country, gospel and more.

5. You give us an escape to the Smoky Mountains, hikes to waterfalls, big city lights, and windy backroads to small towns.

6. You know how to do bbq, biscuits, and hot chicken right!

7. There are four seasons even if Spring and Autumn are never long enough.

8. Income. Tax.

9. Football or Hockey? We’ve got both! 

10. 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.
