Walking into Peace, shoppers are greeted with enthusiastic employees and a table full of goodies. Peace is located in downtown Naperville, Illinois. Owner Kate Mason centered the shop around “conscious living”. The merchandise is eco- friendly and cruelty- free. Some products are even locally sourced! I love that the boutique is mindful about people, animals and…
Hey folks! Last month I went down to Tennessee with Early June, who record a couple new tracks. If you are not familiar with Early June, that’s okay- I’ll tell you about them!
