It's We Love Local Week here on baci's blog! Check back each day this week for great local (Northeast and Northwest Ohio) finds, food and fashion - enjoy :o)
A few weeks ago I brought you my top nine photographers, well this week I am bringing you nine of my favorite local (Northwest Ohio) places to shop for unique, custom, or vintage items that may be secondhand and for a great price :) AND amazing places to eat that are right here in my town!!
1) The Bees Knees - A Vintage Handmade Boutique located in Bryan, Ohio. I came upon her site when I realized she was opening a store on the square in Bryan and I was of course happy because that meant another place to shop :)
This is just a little bit of an idea for you of the items she sells. Things change daily though :)
2) The Old Red Barn located in Defiance, Ohio. I have personally never been here but I haven't heard one bad thing about this place and the pictures they have up of their items look amazing!!!
This is just one of their newest items :)
3) Green Awning Gallery Gifts in Stryker, Ohio. I have been here and it's worth my 45 minute drive every time, they never disappoint me with new items.
The outside of the building :)
4) Zelena Handmades located in Fort Wayne, Indiana- A girl that graduated with my sister started up this custom design business where she uses old ties, shirts, or anything that can be "re-used" and she makes anything from pursues to diapers bags.
How many people do you know that can make an old tie into a wristlet for ladies :)
You can also go to her "shop" to look around.
5) Bill's Locker Room III located in Bryan, Ohio - This is a sports store that can make any custom order!!!
Just one of the many custom orders they have made for a Fairview High School event. Check them out on facebook :)

6) Saks Thrift Avenue located in Bryan, Ohio (and also just opened a place called Savvy Thrift Avenue in Grand Rapids) - They have a lot of custom made items as well as old, vintage items. I go here a lot after work and spend way too much time and money in here :)
These chalk boards (and they also have dry erase boards) are probably my favorite items in here!!! They have them all year around and will make a custom order.

7) The Komfort Tea Spot located in Defiance, Ohio - This is not only a fabulous place to get tea but it's also owned by my best friend's mom!!! It's just such a cute shop, nice to sit down and relax after work!!
8) A Little Slice of Heaven located in Defiance, Ohio - Best cheesecake ever!! I have had this amazing cheese cake for the last few years at Christmas because my Aunt is good friends with the owner, however, Mary did not open her store until about a year ago.
Check her out on facebook :)

9) Pretzelady located in New Bavaria, Ohio - I have seen her food featured at some local shops (like The Bees Knees Boutique) and it looks amazing!!! 
Look how cute and creative this is!!
The reason I picked these nine stores is because I haven't came across another one and I find them unique and amazing in our "little" town :)
