Shop the Steam Plant this December: Buy gifts locally, Spokane WA

|

Share away friends!

Spokane is filled with so many quality local businesses and shops! But, you know what always seems to be my problem? I’ll hear about a shop and think, that sounds like a great place, and then assume I’ll surly remember the name and location. Sadly my brain is fried (I mean really Eryn? You can’t even remember to take your coffee out of the microwave after 30 seconds.) and a few weeks later when I’m ready to go exploring I find myself scratching my head trying to recall the info. For this reason, I’m writing this post for me as much as for you! Ladies and gents, I have the great pleasure of presenting to you: Shop the Steam Plant!

I had the joy of working with some of the most talented local retailers just a few weeks ago in Downtown Spokane at the Steam Plant. These amazing women came together and decided to help highlight each others businesses, (how cool is that?) and they brought me and several other local Instagram gals along for the ride.

We did a photoshoot, shot by the talented Heidi of Glimpse photography, to help highlights their services and products. I’m all about supporting other boss babes, and these ladies are surly that! Plus their services and products are top notch! Talk about creative! I encourage you to check each one of them out, even after the Christmas season is through!

Jenny’s passion is painting furniture, turning something old into a new statement piece! I love all her ombre pieces. Chic & Shab is your go-to home boutique! In both shops, you’ll find vintage, hand-crafted, up-cycled, repurposed, antique or modern treasures! Whether you’ve redoing your homes interior or looking for that one special piece to finish off a room, Jenny’s got your back!

My mission and heart is to share about restaurants where you and the special people in your life can go to connect, fellowship and make some lovely memories while having an enjoyable dining experience.”
