💚🐾 FINAL ENTRY 🐾💚

Alright y’all… this is the LAST one 👀✨

This entry is for the SoLoaded gift certificates 👏🔥

🎥 Make sure you watch the video and follow the instructions exactly as given - step by step!

Thank you all SO much for sticking with me today, showing love, supporting these businesses, and just being part of something really special 💚🐾

I appreciate you more than you know 🥹

Let’s finish strong!! 💪 ✨

I need to take a minute and say thank you to my family 💚

They truly put up with all my shenanigans… and if you know me, you know that’s no small thing 😂

Jared is constantly getting, as Landon would say, “voluntoled” into whatever I’ve got going on next. And the truth is… he just shows up and does it. Whether he feels like it or not, he’s right there, helping, supporting, and backing me every step of the way. I don’t say this enough, but I am so incredibly thankful for you. I love you Jared Porter

To my kids… thank you. You share me more than you should have to sometimes and you still show up, help out, donate, and support what I’m doing. That means more to me than you know.

To my whole family, near and far… thank you. I would not be able to do any of this without you.

💬 Now for a little fun…
I’ll give you an entry if you can tell me something you’ve seen someone in my family do here at the Boutique. Could be Jared, my kiddos, or even extended family… let’s hear it 👇

💚🐾 LOCAL LOVE MOMENT 🐾💚

Y’all know I could NOT put together a basket without including our $5 Fill Up Bags 👏🛍️

So… I went ahead and purchased 6 (YES SIX) $5 Fill Up Bags that will be used for specific Saturdays( you’ll see the dates on the coupons starting next Saturday, the 25th) 👀✨

And I just need to take a minute…

Jodi and Ann Barrett … thank you 💚 For everything you do for this community… For the heart you have to serve… For continuing to show up - even when it’s hard and unkind and when I do not agree with you about processes or things going on outside these walls!

Because what’s happening at the Boutique… it’s bigger than all of us.

Yes, it’s $5 bags (see the pic below if you wanna see how big a bag is!). Yes, it’s great deals. But it’s also a community pantry - no questions asked.
It’s supporting students, activities, sports, and events.
It’s a place where people can come when they need something… or just need a little light on a hard day.

And when we say community… we mean everyone.
Franklin Furnace, yes - but truly, anyone. Anywhere. You belong here 💚🐾

👉 For this entry:

If you’re new here go like and follow the Boutique page!

If you’ve been here invite someone to like the page who could benefit from what we’re doing… and make sure you tag them in this post! Also go to the Boutique page and thank Jodi and Ann! 💚

Because I promise you… this place is for everyone! And I am just really thankful our community has it 🥹🐾

💚🐾 HONORABLE MENTION 🐾💚

I promised I wouldn’t name names… and I won’t 😉 but some of y’all just wanted to give… just because 💚 So many businesses offered to donate and I really wanted to support them, but a few of you got a little sneaky about it 😆 “I just want to be a small part…” “I just want to be a blessing…” and let me tell you… that’s not small, that’s BIG 💚 You know who you are… thank you 🐾

We’re almost done with the giveaway, so you’ll start seeing a few fun extras added in 🎁 Some were gifted, some I grabbed myself… like this little face tool 👀✨ (yes… I bought one for me too 😂)

🎟️ For this entry: tell me what you’ve learned about local businesses through all of this. Have you found someone new? Someone you want to support? Maybe even someone you could partner with? Because at the end of the day, this is what it’s about… loving people and showing up for each other 💚

✨ Bonus entry: tell me something from these posts that meant something to you

Almost there… stay with me 🐾💚✨

So when I first talked to Kara, she was like “I just want to donate!” And I was like… no no no… Jared Porter and I are supporting our local businesses 💚

So Jared went over to Ironton PureTap and picked these up for me 🙌

BUT THEN… 😂

This sweet girl goes and ding d**g ditches MORE stuff on my porch this morning!!

And she said she did it on purpose because she knew I’d want to pay… and she’s not wrong 😅

So now I’m over here like… I want to buy ALL of it for myself!!!! 👀 This pen?! So cool. The freshies and soap and cleaning spray?! I want to smell every single one… but I don’t want to open the giveaway items 😂

She is so talented 💚🐾
