📅September Schedule📅

Here is our show schedule for the month!

First up, we'll be returning to the wonderfully chic Louie's Mercantile at their McIntosh location for the McIntosh Harvest Festival on September 19th! We'll be right outside their shop.

The following weekend on September 26th you will find us at Ash + Oak Pumpkin Patch for their Fall Vendor Show!!

We've been working hard building our stock back up & creating some awesome new DIY kit designs! We'll announce our new kits on Sunday!

Sept 26th from noon-4pm you can find me and 11 other vendors, maybe more at the Ash + Oak Pumpkin Patch!!

Our September schedule will be released later today!

😍 We are loving this combo!! 😍

Did you guess right? We donated this custom piece to a benefit & the winner got their choice of round or rectangle back, as well as their choice of stain!

The winner chose our rectangle back and a bold black stain that we were all to happy to try out. We were worried about the black string blending in with the back but that didn't happen and it is a stunning finished product!

We do make a limited number of donations to different fundraisers every year. We keep it local because it is our locals that make us successful!

🐾National Dog Day🐾

It's National Dog Day and we're showing some love to our fluffy mascots Sammy & Ollie! They work extremely hard to ensure proper treat distribution, belly rub breaks, & "good boy" encouragements are received.

Neither really likes being out in the shop while Nate is working on building the backs, the air compressor is too loud. But they are usually inside with me watching me wrap string, or pound in nails. Or we're all in the garage staining/burning the backings that Nate built!

✨️Sunday Vibe✨️

Taking a break for the rest of the day to let my fingers rest a bit, but my mind is still racing about possible new designs, finishing up orders, & show/order announcements!

I'm excited to finish the piece in the photo & get it delivered to the clients so I can share the story.

🚫CANCELLED🚫

Due to multiple factors that are out of the coordinators control the final Market View Events vendor show of the season is cancelled tomorrow.

Nate & I would like to take this opportunity to thank Rochelle Hanson for all of her hard work 💪 every season to put on such a wonderful event, not just for us but for all the vendors! From putting up signs, marketing, social posting, watching weather predictions, to phone calls, emails, last minute additions and cancellations (and so much more) your work doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated! 💕

We will be back next summer and will continue to encourage vendors to come & join in the fun so this event keeps growing!
