From cozy wardrobe additions and sweetly-spiced seasonal treats to plenty of pumpkin decor, we’re leaning all the way into the season with this month’s round of local FINDS. Check out these 15 fun offerings currently on offer at Nashville businesses!
SEASONAL DECOR
Tortoiseshell glass pumpkins
The tortoiseshell pattern on these glass pumpkins offers an unexpectedly chic spin on traditional fall decor. Mix things up by arranging a variety of modern faux pumpkins with fresh pumpkins! Find these at Hot Pink in Brentwood for $34 apiece.
Disco pumpkins
For a more kitschy spin on your Halloween decor, go for these mirrored ornaments at the “Junk Is The New Black” booth at GasLamp Too in Berry Hill. Choose from mirrored pumpkins or black mirrored disco balls, $28 each.
Pumpkin taper candles
These pumpkin-inspired taper candles are perfect for fall gatherings! Because they’re unscented, they won’t interfere with your dinner spread. Find them in packs of two for $12 at White’s Mercantile.
Venetian pumpkins
If you prefer a more subtle nod to the season, consider these delicately patterned Venetian pumpkins, which can see you through October and well into the winter holidays. Snag a few at The Wreath Stand for $8.99 each.
Gilded insects
While Dashwood Vintage & Flora near Opry Mills Mall specializes in vintage and antique furniture and decor, it also has plenty of new merchandise in the mix, including a variety of insect accessories like the one pictured here. This giant gilded beetle, which can be mounted on a wall or placed on a tabletop, is currently available for $85.
‘Lady Poisoners’ book
Stage your coffee table, desk, or bar cart for the season by incorporating some dark literature. The League of Lady Poisoners: Illustrated True Stories of Dangerous Women, available for $24.95 at Parnassus Books, is the perfect addition!
Metallic bats
A stylish spin on bat decor, these gold metallic bats — available in three sizes — look adorable inside or hung outside (ideally on a covered porch so they’re somewhat protected from the elements). Find them for $5.95 to $9.95 at The Barefoot Cottage in L&L Market.
Creepy cup
If you’re in the market for some seriously spooky accessories, pay a visit to Hail Dark Aesthetics in East Nashville. They’re stocked year-round with taxidermy, antique medical instruments, and various other creepy goods. Right now, they’ve got some fun mugs complete with skulls and other creatures waiting to greet you at the bottom of your beverage ($25).
SB Tip: You can spot their merchandise at the Holston House Raven’s Nest pop-up bar! Be sure to check out our running list of pop-ups taking place around town here.
CLOTHING & ACCESSORIES
Reversible scarf
Sweaters seem to get all the glory this time of year, but “scarf weather” is just as exciting, if you ask us. This cozy Barbour scarf is reversible — tartan plaid on one side and a windowpane pattern on the other — so you get double the mileage. Pick yours up for $75 at Oak Hall.
Leather wristlet
ABLE is currently hosting an anniversary sale with quite a few exciting markdowns. Their signature leather wristlet, usually $98, is currently available in five colorways for $74. We especially love this versatile black-and-brown style for fall and winter!
Sherpa jacket
Cozy sherpa designs are still in for fall and winter, and this unique boxy jacket is a sleek spin on the trend. Featuring a stand-up collar (hidden in this photo by the model’s hair) and modern button details, this piece is a fun way to stay warm as temperatures start to drop. Find it for $290 at e.Allen.
OCTOBER-INSPIRED GOODIES
Pumpkin butter
Lean into pumpkin season by stocking up on a couple of jars of Loveless Cafe’s famous pumpkin butter. It’s delicious on toast, pancakes, swirled into oatmeal, and more. Pick up a jar at Made in TN for $10.95.
‘Haunted Howler’ coffee blend
If you’re a Halloween fanatic — or you know one — you’ve got to check out Frothy Monkey‘s “Spook-E-Spresso” blend. Adorably dubbed “Haunted Howler,” the blend features notes of grape (eyeballs), almond (guts), berry (blood), and dark(est) chocolate. Grab a bag for $18 before they run out!
Smoked spiced orange syrup
It’s time to leave summer fruit cocktails behind (for now) in favor of earthier, spicier flavors. This Smoked Spiced Orange Simple Syrup by Bang Candy works beautifully in bourbon cocktails, but you could also try it in hot tea or drizzled over desserts. Pick up a bottle at Hester & Cook for $13.
‘Basic witch’ popcorn
Perfect for your next viewing party, this “Basic Witch” popcorn is a limited edition pumpkin pie kettle corn currently available at Marigold Popcorn. Choose from a variety of sizes online and in-store ($6-$13).
Happy October!
