a heartfelt 

hello!  

A heartfelt hello! I am Kelsey Potts, the owner + founder of Social Shop. Born and raised in Kansas City, I found my passion for parties and love for connecting people right here in my hometown. As a wife and mama to two kids + a very fluffy dog, I only know how to stay busy while valuing the importance of filling my own cup.

I am a true lover of: entertaining, gathering around a table, breaking bread with the people I love most and making micro moments memorable, I believe entertaining can and should be effortless. I find power in patterns, elevating experiences and fueling friendships with memories & not more "things". I love helping people find their confidence in color, putting their heart in hosting at home, mixing styles and bringing that sprinkle of southern charm missing from the midwest.

"Entertaining seeks to impress. Hospitality seeks to bless.”

Social Shop’s story is simply that, we help ease entertaining so you to focus on attention while we take care of the perfection.
