Lindsey Garvin says opening a new flower shop inside Sunrise Mall last weekend was a dream come true for her. The shop, Little Violet’s, is named after her one-year-old daughter and is located near the JCPenney entrance of the mall.

Garvin sells more than flowers at Little Violet’s, and everything is made in America by small business owners, she says. There are handmade greeting cards from New York and Massachusetts, gift bags from a woman in Utah, and puzzles by an artist in Georgia. Garvin makes the T-shirts herself.
