HOME & KITCHEN
Wool throw
Welcome cooler days with an oh-so-soft wool throw. Choose between bold gingham and timeless herringbone, two classic patterns that add warmth and character wherever they land. Toss one over a chair, layer it at the foot of your bed, or wrap it around your shoulders on a crisp fall evening. Find them for $115 each at Bedr Linens.
Fall stoneware
Add a whimsical touch to your fall decor with these charming stoneware ghosts and pumpkins. Display them together on a mantel, bookshelf, or entryway table, or tuck them into little corners throughout your home for a hint of seasonal fun. Starting at $50 each, you can find them at Stoneware + Co.
Planter
Reminiscent of iconic Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, this playful planter is sure to add personality to any space it graces. While it’s designed to showcase your favorite plant, you could also use it to display small treasures or a colorful collection of matchbooks. Find it for $48 at the KMAC Contemporary Art Museum.
Fall stems
Delightfully vibrant and full of realistic texture, these gorgeous stems give you plenty of freedom to style them on their own or as part of a larger arrangement. Place them in a favorite vase for an easy seasonal refresh you can enjoy year after year. Pick up a few for $9 each at Digs.
FOR THE PANTRY
Bourbon maple syrup
Your pancakes and waffles may never taste the same again. This award-winning syrup is aged in 10- to 20-year-old Pappy Van Winkle bourbon barrels after they’ve been emptied for bottling, creating rich notes of vanilla, caramel, butter, and oak. Pick up a bottle for $38 at Pappy & Company.
Smoked bourbon soy sauce
Who says bourbon and soy sauce don’t go together? Slowly smoked with white oak bourbon barrel staves, this mixture develops a natural smoky aroma and depth. Use it as a finishing sauce or add it to soups, stews, and noodle dishes. Bottles are $15 each at Bourbon Barrel Foods.

Louisville holds on to its favorite restaurants and bars long after their doors close for good. Local artist Bri Bowers created these colorful “Old Flames” prints as a playful tribute to the beloved spots we still miss. Hang one in your home as a nostalgic reminder of the places, meals, and memories that helped shape our city. Buy a print at Bri Bowers Studio, starting at $20.
