What we love most about Scout Guide members is that they get it. They too are such champions and supporters of the small businesses and business owners in their communities, therefore they make amazing #scouts for some of the best and most unique local recommendations. Because of that, we not only want to hear from them, but we want to get to know them better by getting to know what they love. We recently reached out to Lori Eddleman, owner of The Cottage Paperie & Gifts, to find out what she’s been loving lately. Be it her favorite season or what’s she’s currently reading, we loved learning more about Lori this way, so check it all out below!
