Shop Local - Sadie's Boutique and Kitchen A La Mode - South Orange, NJ

These two shops in South Orange, NJ are simply amazing: Sadie’s and Kitchen A La Mode.

Occasionally I walk into a store and want everything. OK maybe more than occasionally. This happens EVERY SINGLE TIME I’m in both of these shops.

Sadie’s

Sadie’s, 65 Valley Street, South Orange, NJ

Sadie’s has beautiful clothing for both men and women, home accessories, jewelry, and gifts. And my FAVORITE part is that many of the items have a socially conscious connection - money either goes to charity with a purchase, or many of the brands are environmentally conscious. (Check Sadie’s Instagram for hours).

Kitchen A La Mode

Kitchen A La Mode, 19 South Orange Ave, South Orange, NJ

Kitchen A La Mode (KALM) has everything from kitchen and cookware to tons of cool gifts and home accessories. Anything and everything related to baking, cooking, coffee, drinks, tea towels, mugs, cutting boards, candles, pots, knives, you name it. Popular brands like Corkcicle and La Creuset. Did I mention I want all of it?! (Check KALM’s Instagram for hours.)

And, Cat Fischer, a very engaged South Orange resident, is the owner of both of these beautiful stores (pictured below).

2019 Calendar + General Store Holiday Pop Up

It’s been an amazing week since the General Store Holiday Pop Up opened! We have sold lots of @livelovemaplewood calendars (<— order here online!), Instagram collages, magnets, and artwork.

Live Love Maplewood

The General Store hosts 60+ artists and small businesses from Maplewood and South Orange, NJ and surrounding towns. Located at 14 South Orange Avenue, the shop has tons of amazing gifts and goodies, and interactive experiences and events too! It’s the brainchild of Work and Play’s Amy Howlett and Deborah Engel (pictured below), who have worked incredibly hard to put this unique boutique together for the community.

Deborah + Amy

In the week since it’s opening, there have been workshops with Mrs. Meshugga hand lettering, family photos with Photo Booth Studios, tastings with Kreme + Krumbs, Three Daughters Baking Company, and SOMA Brewing Company, and charity partnerships with Jespy House and Take the Cake.
