Both Mom (Lynn) and I were born and raised in Savannah and it is to us what New York City is to Carrie Bradshaw. We love the smells (even of the paper mill), the tastes of all the good southern food, and the sights (even during St. Pat's most raucous times). So we thought we'd compile a list of some of our fave Savannah grown products and show you our Top Ten!
1. Macarons from Maison de Macarons. Honestly, up until about a year ago we'd be hard-pressed to tell you what a "macaron" was. Then, by the grace of God, we put up shop right next to Laura and Amy's beautiful patisserie in Eisenhower Square and got to sample the most delicious treat this side of River Street. Brilliant for weddings, birthdays, or just a Tuesday, Maison de Macarons is definitely going to be around for awhile!
2. Shotgun Shell Cufflinks by Meredith Anne Sutton. If you're a man in the south, or a woman who knows a man in the south, y'all need to get some of these beautiful 12 gauge shotgun shell cufflinks by jewelry designer, Meredith Anne Sutton. My husband rocks a pair and they could not be more sexy and stylish. Whether he's wearing them to a wedding with a fancy suit or on a plaid button up, these little gems R-O-C-K.
3. Key Lime Coolers from Byrd Cookie Company. Savannah's world famous Byrd Cookie Company is also one of Clutter's neighbors. And it's a good thing we like to work out because sandwiched between some of the nation's finest macarons and cookies, we'd be foolish to not eat a dozen (or two) Key Lime Coolers a month. If you haven't checked out Byrd, and I doubt there's many out there who haven't, y'all need to get over to BCC ASAP!
4. Soap from Panhandle Girl. The self proclaimed "Soap Maven", Saja Aures makes beautiful smelling and environmentally sound soap that also makes your skin glow!! So throw out your Dove and grab some soap from PHG. "Little Dinosaur Eucalyptus Mint" is our favorite!
5. Chocolate Nougat Caramel Bars by The Chocolate Lab. You may have gathered that we like to eat and that we have a bit of a sweet tooth...that being said, The Chocolate Lab's products are some of the finest pieces of chocolate we have put (or more appropriately jammed) into our mouths. Described as "Southern Artisan Candy Bars" check them out online to order some sweets!
6. Salt Soaks by Salacia Salts. With all the sweets we love to eat, we also love (like) to run. If you haven't already, every runner needs to try a soak in a salt bath post-workout. It relaxes your muscles (and your mind) and just feels dang good. And who doesn't like to feel good, I'd like to know?!
7. (ANYTHING) by lovelane designs. We're officially obsessed with the latitude/longitude pillow and if that's a crime lock us up. But Lane Huerta of lovelane is so much more. Tea towels, mustache obsessions, and even snuggly bunny hats aplenty make Lane's world, and ours, a bright, lovely place to be.
8. Raw Honeycombs from Savannah Bee Company. We had amazing food at our wedding, but my favorite, piece de resistance moment was a simple cheese platter with a honeycomb from Savannah Bee that was world changing. Delicious, mind blowing, gotta try it!!
9. Stationary from Blank Canvas Graphics. Need a funky new way to express yourself?? Check out some super keen stuff from Lindsay Williams and start writing your friends on cards that say, "You are the Cup to my Cake" and "You Look So Skinny!" A lot better way to say happy birthday that some generic Hallmark card...in our opinion!!
10. Pecan Pralines from Savannah's Candy Kitchen. Ok, so we'd be remiss if we didn't close out our Top Ten with some more grub. And oh what delicious grub SCK's pralines are! We've all had them, we've all loved them, we've all been mad at ourselves for eating an entire pound in one sitting, but we all go back to the Candy Kitchen and do it all again time and time again. SCK, y'all are doing it right down there!
