Voting ends on Wednesday night! 🫶🫶🫶 link in the comments!

I’m honestly so humbled and excited to share this! 🥹🖤

Maxilyn House made the TOP 5 for Best of Racine County 2026!!

Seeing our little shop on that list feels surreal. We’re still growing, still working hard to get our name out there, and still pouring so much into creating a place where people can discover something special, create something of their own and feel welcome when they walk through our doors.

To know that enough of you thought of Maxilyn House and took the time to nominate us means SO much to me. Truly. Thank you. 🖤

And now we get to ask for your help one more time!

We’re finalists in TWO categories:

🎁 Best Place to Find Unique Gifts under Shopping
🖤 Best Customer Service – Retail

If Maxilyn House has become a place you love to visit, if we’ve helped you find the perfect gift, or if you’ve simply been cheering us on as we build this little dream, I would be incredibly grateful for your vote.

No matter what happens from here, being in the Top 5 already feels pretty darn special. 🥹

Thank you for supporting Maxilyn House and believing in what we’re building here in Racine. Now let’s vote!! 🖤

Mr. Maker is out and about today! ☀️

You’ll find him set up at the Milaeger's Great Lakes Farmers Market from 10–2 with a bunch of his Madimus creations!

The shop is closed today, but it’s a beautiful day to get out, wander the market and shop small. 🛍️

Stop by and say hi to Mr. Maker if you’re there! 👋

Sunday behind the scenes 🎨

Today’s job: paint pods. Lots and lots of paint pods. 😂

We’re getting all the little details finished up for our very first Creative Club boxes, and it’s finally starting to feel REAL.

I can’t wait to get these packed up and into the hands of our September members! 🎉

🖤 ONE WEEK LEFT TO VOTE! 🖤

We’re officially down to the final week of voting for Best of Racine County, and I’m asking for your help. Please vote for Maxilyn House and, just as importantly, please SHARE this post to help us reach more local people.

Our journey has been incredibly rewarding, but it has also been incredibly challenging. Our location continues to be one of our biggest hurdles, simply because so many people still don’t know we’re here and our location is unconventional.

Winning Best of Racine County would mean so much more to us than a title. It would give our little shop some much-needed local recognition and help more people discover everything we’ve been working so hard to build.

We’re finalists in two categories:

🏆 Best Place to Find Unique Gifts
🏆 Best Customer Service – Retail

✨ You can vote ONCE PER DAY through September 9th!

And I’ll just be really honest. I know I sound like a broken record when I ask you to share our posts, tell your friends or help spread the word about Maxilyn House. But we’ve worked way too hard to give up, and we have tried just about everything we can think of to get our visibility up.

And it’s still not working the way we need it to.

There are still so many people right here in Racine who have no idea we exist. That’s why this means so much to us. Having our name recognized through Best of Racine County could help us reach people we simply haven’t been able to reach on our own.

So if you have a minute, please vote today. Come back and vote again tomorrow. And PLEASE share this to help get our cozy shop in front of some new faces.

Thank you for helping Maxilyn House be seen 🫶
