Our Story

Welcome to Belle & Southern!

Call me a small-town girl as there are few times in my life when I am happier than when I visit a small town. These are the places where time often seems to stand still, where the local diner is the hub of the day’s activity and the source of the town’s gossip. 

Many of these small towns have changed through the years, but my favorite part of visiting has always been exploring the quaint little family-owned shops and boutiques lining their streets.  Every store carries its own unique array of treasures, many handmade or crafted by local artists. 

Living in North Georgia, I am blessed to be close to several of these towns and to have been able to shop at so many of these incredible stores thru the years.  I created Belle & Southern to share the experience of visiting these places with you. 

When you shop with us, you are also making a difference by supporting small businesses in the US, helping provide a fair living wage to incredible artists worldwide, and allowing us to donate a portion of your purchase.  Check out our philosophy on Giving Back here. 

Thanks for dropping by Belle & Southern today, please stay awhile and do come again.
