As you make plans to come to Hudson for the Barn Sale on May 31, June 1 or June 2, I urge you to add in some extra time to explore my sweet little city.

I moved here from Columbus in 2006 because I loved the small town atmosphere of Hudson and I knew it would be an excellent place for Edie and Lila to grow up. What I didn't know at the time was just how cool this little place was. Boutiques and shops line Main Street. Yes, Hudson is somewhat like a Norman Rockwell painting. And behind Main Street is a shopping area called First and Main. One of the shops I love in First and Main is  AR2. (I bought the blue dress you see me wearing in the sidebar on the right there.)



Not only does AR2 carry some really incredible clothing, they also have some seriously cool home decor.

The girls at AR2 have an upcoming fun event you can take advantage of. On May 11 and 12 they will have national makeup artists from Trish McEvoy in store giving free sessions. You can check out their new summer selections while you get your makeup done. RSVP to 330.653.9538.

Hudson has been a great place to live, but also a great place to shop (and eat, but that's another post for another time!).
