Hello Happy Plants
Anyone trying to turn a side hustle into a full-time job will find hope in Kelsey Ryder's hard work. She started off hawking plants in thrift store pots, but her online store, Hello Happy Plants, has blossomed into a full-grown business where she sells a variety of handcrafted planters (air plants included) in the colorful, cheeky shape of troll dolls, beer and soda cans, chip bags, cigarette boxes and much, much more. She ships to customers and wholesalers all over the world, in big part due to the following she's gained on her playful Instagram page.
Goods and Services: Best in local shops, boutiques, dog groomers and more
Gypset
Taking its name from the early-2000s coinage combining "gypsy" with "jet set" (cf. Julia Chaplin's coveted trilogy for publisher Assouline), Sam Redding's Gypset provides boho-chic adornment in a wide range of price points for both Coachella princesses and more-prim types. Go for a subtle turquoise cuff, or load up neck, wrists and ears with pieces dripping in geodes, quartz crystals, gemstones and rare hardwoods. Find the mobile boutique by following @gypsetco on Instagram or checking the website; Redding's adorable renovated trailer is posted outside East End Market for the month of August.
