We are so excited about this weeks giveaway and to have you learn more about these amazing makers!
Last year, we through a Halloween party at our East Nashville store and it provided me with the opportunity to get to know so many local businesses in the Nashville area, and the brilliant humans behind them. These next two businesses were a part of that party, and what they create inspires and drives me. I follow them all on Instagram and interact with them daily, which I will admit, I am thrilled they read that as love and not as annoying. What can I say, I'm passionate about small brands!
Jessica and Simone, of TNT Goods, are wonderful makers and they sell absolutely beautiful things! From their delicate but very sturdy coasters to their lovely initial necklaces, their online store is perfectly curate to find something for you or for someone you love. As part of this giveaway you can win one of their double chain necklaces. It's both elegant, understated, and one of my favorite things in their shop right now, but if I'm being honest, I would just love one of everything because it's all so amazing!!
Prior to meeting Ashley (Black Sheep Goods) I had never heard of ice-dying, but that is just one of the many things she does. She sells the most unique pieces that are the perfect addition to any wardrobe and I should know, I have several pairs of overalls, tanks, and crop tops. Ashley is also the OG maker of the pop out loom (which you can win as part of this giveaway) and if you want to make a beautiful statement wall tapestry, but don't know where to start it's brilliant!! She recently introduced exciting new shapes and I am dying to get my hands on one.
Keep reading to learn more about them. We, at Molly Green, are so lucky to know them and have them be a part of our community here. Go read, follow, and support them too!
TNT GOODS
1. What's the name of your company?
2. How long have you been in business? How did you get your start?
TNT Goods is a Nashville-based business, owned by two best friends, Jessica & Simone. We started our business about a year ago. We initially began by offering hand pressed pin-back buttons and we grew into a gift shop filled with unique jewelry, apparel, accessories and home decor.
3. What is your favorite item in your store?
Picking a favorite item would be difficult. Our latest 90s R&B crewneck sweatshirt line was so much fun to create, but we also have tons of jewelry favorites. We like to offer affordable, high quality jewelry for all occasions. We would recommend the Initial Necklace Trio for those who enjoy layering necklaces but sometimes get stuck with choosing which necklaces would pair well (link https://shoptntgoods.com/products/initial-necklace-trio ).
4. What's your best selling item?
Our best selling items are our pin-back buttons and our custom necklaces. We think that people love the ability to customize and choose how they want to express themselves. We offer almost 100 different button designs and our custom necklaces allow for tons of creativity (link: https://shoptntgoods.com/collections/buttons ).

BLACK SHEEP GOODS

Black Sheep Goods2. How long have you been in business?
6 years
How did you get your start?
I just had my first son and really wanted to find my thing. I taught myself how to weave and dye clothes and was forever hooked! I created my DIY weaving kit so others can easily learn how to create their own one of a kind tapestry.
3. What is your favorite item in your store?
It’s a tie between the new shape weaving looms and the ice dye kaftans. They are just so comfy and I live in mine.
4. What's your best selling item?
The DIY weaving kits are my best seller which makes me so happy to know that there are thousands of people out there that have now experienced how fun and relaxing weaving is.
