Fayetteville Find: Fox Trot Boutique

August 27, 2015 By Talya Tate Boerner 6 Comments

Fox Trot Boutique, Fayetteville, ArFox Trot Boutique is such an exciting find, y’all! Owner, Carly Rae Overbey, hails from Kentucky and grew up in retail. Her family opened “a store” in 1955 that has evolved into a fine home and garden destination on the banks of the Rockcastle River.  After graduating from University of Kentucky with a degree in Fiber Arts and Textiles, Carly worked five years for J. Peterman Company. (Yes, J. Peterman Company is real and not just a Seinfeld thing.) A position with mega-retailer, Walmart, brought Carly to Northwest Arkansas, but after two years, she was ready to get back to a smaller, local business environment. She opened Fox Trot about a year ago.

I only recently discovered it.Continue Reading

Fayetteville Find: Blackboard Grocery & Eatery

July 17, 2015 By Talya Tate Boerner 9 Comments

I love everything about Blackboard Grocery & Eatery on Dickson from the cool, urban vibe to the bright open window in front of the sandwich bar. This, my friends, is a true Fayetteville find and definitely something needed in the area.

Fayetteville Find - Blackboard Grocery!

Um, yes, they have breakfast tacos! Take it from someone who recently moved from Dallas, breakfast tacos are sorely underrepresented in Fayetteville. Owner Lycia Shrum hails from Austin, so naturally, she knows a thing or two about building a breakfast taco.Continue Reading

Fayetteville Find: Garden Living Supply Co

Fayetteville Finds - Garden Living Supply Co

Modern gardeners rejoice! Garden Living is my latest Fayetteville Find and a place I am elated about. This boutique, located at 160 E. Joyce (near IO Metro), is a true garden living shop complete with interesting specimen plants, gorgeous hand-thrown pottery, Dutch garden tools, eclectic gift items, and not-your-typical outdoor furniture. Dallas people, think Redenta’s and you’ll understand my happiness. Garden Living is the sister floral shop to Pigmint (which has also moved to Joyce Blvd).

Simply walking through is a zen experience.

I’m a big fan of these zinc pots. I have one planted with aloe.

Here’s a find for you. Cool linen napkins. If I didn’t have a self-imposed napkin moratorium hanging over me, I would snap these up.

Garden Living even has Nest Fragrances. Luxury, people. Sir Elton John apparently agrees because he has his own woodside garden aroma.

So, in a nutshell:

Location: 160 E. Joyce Blvd, Fayetteville; Phone: (479)435-6999; Website: coming soon; Follow on Facebook for information about upcoming classes (YES! there will be classes); Follow Pigmint on Instagram for floral inspiration. Hey, follow me too if you aren’t already:)
