Nashville Welcomes a New Store Focused on Kindness and Friendship Bracelets
Hey there, Nashville! If you’re in the mood for a little creativity and a lot of kindness, we’ve got some exciting news for you. A charming new store called The Little Words Project has officially opened its doors in the Assembly Food Hall area of downtown Nashville. This delightful shop, which opened on a sunny Saturday, is all about celebrating friendship and kindness through custom beaded jewelry.
Make, Customize, and Spread Love!
The Little Words Project is inviting everyone—yes, you too!—to step inside and check out their unique offering. The shop features a cozy Bead Bar, where you can sit down with a friendly “bead”-tender and create your very own bracelet. Whether you want to craft something for yourself or a loved one, this boutique has got you covered. Appointments are encouraged to ensure you get the best experience, but don’t worry if you’re the spontaneous type; walk-ins are more than welcome as long as there’s a seat available!
Words of Kindness
Ever wonder what you want to manifest in your life? Store manager Bernadette Boggs certainly has! She explained her personal tradition, saying, “Every year I pick a word to put on my wrist, and then every day it’s a reminder of what I manifest. At the end of the year, when I’m done, I pass the word on to someone else.” Isn’t that beautiful? The bracelets come with a custom gold or silver tag that has a unique six-digit code. You can register it online, and when you give your bracelet away, you can track where it ends up years down the line! How cool is that?
A Place of Comfort
Bernadette emphasizes the store’s core message: “Our biggest message is to be kind.” If you’re feeling a little down or just need a pick-me-up, this is the perfect spot to come to feel welcomed, loved, and appreciated—almost like a warm hug from a stranger. Imagine walking in and immediately feeling the positivity radiating from the space and the people in it.
A Little Background Story
Now, if you’re curious about how this whole idea came to be, let’s take a quick trip down memory lane. The Little Words Project isn’t just a new phenomenon that sprouted overnight. The founder, Adriana Carrig, started this journey back in 2013 after facing bullying in her earlier life. She began making bracelets during her college years, not just for her own comfort but also for her sorority sisters. Through these colorful, wearable affirmations, they reminded one another of their worth and supported each other through tough times. “Ten years and millions of bracelets later, the Little Words Project community is living proof that kindness is a superpower,” she happily shares.
The Nashville Location
Excited to check it out? You can find The Little Words Project at 5057 Broadway Place. And if you’re a fan of Taylor Swift, you might already know that her lyric from 2022—“So make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it”—helped spark a worldwide trend of trading bracelets at concerts. It’s no surprise that Swifties are flocking to this spot, making their own creative tributes to friendship and kindness.
So, whether you’re looking for a new self-expression piece, a unique gift, or just a little friendly outing, swing by and immerse yourself in a world where kindness reigns supreme. Let’s all embrace this positive vibe—together!
