Under the Sycamore:
Musings on Life and Home

It’s that time of year again. The time when holiday carols cheerfully encourage us to dash through the snow, all while our calendars and to-do lists tell us to sprint through the stores. Who needs a one-horse open sleigh when you’ve got a tank full of gas, an armload of bags, and an overwhelming sense of seasonal urgency?

If you’ve ever felt the pressure of gifting greatness, you’re not alone. It’s easy to think that the holidays are about finding something expensive, elaborate, or Instagram-worthy. But truthfully, the perfect gift isn’t something that screams “price tag.” It’s something that whispers, “I know you.”
That’s where small businesses come in.

When you shop small, you’re not just checking items off a list—you’re curating gifts with stories. You’re finding local pottery that reminds you of the time your sister finally admitted her coffee addiction. You’re snagging that hand poured Blueberry muffin candle because your best friend’s oven is always more “it came with the house” than “home cooked goodness.” You’re buying into the notion that gifts, like the best memories, are personal.
Which is why our Renovation Sale is practically begging for treasure hunters like you. When you shop with us, you’re also giving the gift of support—to the artists, makers, and dreamers behind every item in our store. You’re saying, “I see you,” to the small businesses who pour their hearts into this community and rely on shoppers like you to keep the lights on—literally.

Let us help you find something magical, meaningful, and on sale because, hey, you deserve to keep a little sparkle for yourself, too.
Remember, the holidays aren’t about how much you spend. They’re about how much thought, love, and intention you pack into the moments you share. And if a Renovation Sale bargain happens to come along for the ride? Well, we call that a Christmas miracle.

Visit Sycamore and Stone Farm Saturday, Dec. 7 from 10-5 and Sunday, Dec. 8 from 11-4 for our Renovation Sale—because your next perfect retail score is waiting!
