*thanks to our relationship with Hyde Park Village, their stores, our bloggers had the opportunity to participate in VIP treatment for Shop Small Saturday in exchange for a blog reviews & social media posts; all opinions are our own.
Hello! I’m Caitlyn! My little space on the inter web can be found at Live.Sweat.Sleep.Repeat. I was lucky enough to join the bloggers and Shop Small Saturday with Hyde Park Village.
Our first stop was Piquant, we were greeted with mimosas and breakfast delectables. Their French style menu is divine, you visit for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. I previously did a review for them, you can find it HERE.
(from Piquant, Pumpkin French Toast, a must try!)
The members of the South Tampa Chamber of Commerce joined us at Piquant, along with Commissioner Sandy Merman joined us as well. Sandy announced with us that Hillsborough County, Florida was proclaiming November 28, 2015, as Small Business Saturday!

There is quite the selection of stores to check items off your holiday list in Hyde Park Village. Here is what you can find at a few of the favorites:
Juxtapose Apparel & Studio: Women’s fashion, home decor, jewelry & accessories with an eccentric, Florida style.
Paper Source: They are more than just paper & cards! Let your creative juices flow… You can find planners, stamps, small gifts, and everything you could want for your desk to keep you organized!
Toffee To Go: Oprah told me to go! This was an item on one of her yearly ‘Favorite Things List’ and I can now see why! They serve toffee that is perfect for gifts. Not too hard to bite into, it comes in three flavors: Milk Chocolate with Almonds, Dark Chocolate with Pecans and White Chocolate with Macadamia Nuts.
Don Me Now: If you have someone on your list that loves style, the chic look of designer…but not the price tag, this store is for them! Danielle offers personal styling, but if you are doing your own shopping, you can find: cute graphic tees, perfect pieces & outfits for a night out, accessories & jewelry.
Buddy Brew Coffee: A local craft roaster, their truck visits Hyde Park Village often so that you can have a nice pick-me-up during your shopping adventures.
Blue Moon Trading Company: Natural & nautical feels, they carry unique items for your home. They also have a gorgeous line of jewelry.
(teeny tiny Christmas tree in a locket as an ornament…yes please!)
Albisia: Handcrafted, unique & delicate jewelry, all made from raw materials.
