Pawsitively Alternative Markets is heading to Clayton. 🖤✨
We’re bringing DARK SPIRITS SOCIAL to Elixir VI on June 6th and turning it into a dark little pocket dimension filled with spooky vendors, metalcore energy, oddities, books, crystals, creepy art, sweet treats, karaoke, and the kind of people that still miss Warped Tour. 🌙

🕯 June 6th
🖤 1PM - 7PM
📍 Elixir VI
425 E. Main St, Clayton NC

Come support small businesses, hang out with your fellow weirdos, and help us raise funds for The Pooch Pad Foundation🐾
Locally sourced chaos is expanding. ✨

Today’s goodies 🖤
Finally got my signed copy of The Man is a Cacciatore from .bookshop + a lil murder ghosty pin👻
Made my husband buy me that sick stone from and I’m so hype to have them at our markets.

Also shoutout to for the goodie bag and being the best hosts 🖤

Local business wall is growing and I love it.

Excited to officially add this one 🖤

RIFFS & RESCUES 🖤🐾
August 15th @ Mason Jar Lager Co.

A full day of live local bands, metalcore night & karaoke, vendors, raffles, and adoptables — all coming together to support Lending Paws A Hand, Inc.

You already know we’ll be out there with all the alt chaos, new designs, and probably yelling along to half the setlist 😅

We took a week to breathe after Vans & Vendors… and now we’re back at it 😌

Here’s where you can find us coming up 👇
(more chaos + pop-ups around town coming too because we can’t sit still)

Also… our website has been living in the “we’ll get to it” pile 😅
We’re working on getting that updated over the next few days so you can actually see all the things we’ve been making lately.

As always, thank you for showing up and supporting this wild little thing we’ve built 🖤
