Congrats Grads!

Happy Friday to all! It's Ella the Extern here wishing all of our graduates congratulations! Whether you're shopping for a panther, flyer, wolverine, or thoroughbred, we've got great gifts for your grad. Tonight, my best friend is graduating from Frankfort High School, so let's curate the perfect graduation gift for her!
She's headed to Centre College in the fall, so of course I'll have to get her some gold and black earrings. Made in Lexington, Kentucky, these wooden earrings are hand painted, and would be perfect for a football game. Roll Kerns!


Then, she obviously needs some Kentucky crafted dorm decor. What better way to brighten up her room than with floral art. Made in Berea, this artist collects flowers, sticks, and other natureful shrubbery to write out inspiring messages. She then takes a photo and hand-paints her work. Now we just need to get the roommate on board!

Unfortunately communal shower life is difficult, but she can spruce it up with some milk & honey sugar scrub and lotion. Made by a husband and wife in London, Kentucky, this goat milk based set will have all the girls on the hall asking where to get such nice toiletries.

And, finally, she's going to need a great wrist purse for date parties and formal events. Made from repurposed leather in Lexington, the bright color will impress any guest speaker (or maybe a lucky fella) at school!


Today I am wishing Lilia Saxena Smithson a happy graduation! I am so proud of you! And to all our grads across Frankfort - y'all are going to do amazing things. Just don't forget about us down at the store when you're famous.
