I love supporting local shops in my area. Also, I enjoy visiting farmers' markets and festivals to meet the owners of their artisan shops and get to know the people in my community. When you support small businesses, you're giving back to your neighborhood which stimulates the economy.
Last week, my daughters and I traveled to Milton, GA, to check out a new store opening in the Crabapple Market called Evimero Market Place. (Evimero is the Greek meaning "to thrive")
This was our first time visiting the city of Milton, which is right next door to Alpharetta, and I must say, this town is the cutest! It's a great, walkable town for families with charming shops, clean parks, adorable homes, and fun activities. Milton is a beautiful place for Evimero to set up shop.
Evimero is a free-trade, sustainable and local artisan gift store founded and curated by Natalia Beley. You can find unique gifts that are hard to find anywhere else.
Evimero has fresh finds like women's apparel, home goods, skincare items, children's products, and accessories. Plus, the store has a fabulous DIY workshop space, Posies Fields Farm flower market, and laundry, dish, and hand soap re-fill station inside the store. So you can get creative and make your own stuff inside.
My visit was because we were invited to the VIP Party to tour the store while enjoying light bites and drinks.
All around the store, you can find a curated collection of fun fair-trade finds from all over the world and local artisan gifts from Georgia.
So many fascinating products that caught my eye, like the hair, accessories, and body items. I purchased some soothing lavender body cream, a cute headband that I rocked immediately after leaving the event, and statement earrings.
Suppose you're not in the Milton, GA (Alpharetta) area. In that case, Evimero Market Place has a website you can purchase from too.
Thanks to your purchase, you're supporting companies doing something for the social good and are passionate about helping artisans.
Make to check out these other places I visited in Alpharetta. Also, after seeing Evimero, have a fun day out doing these activities near Alpharetta/Milton.
