✨ Hey friends! ✨

Soft Spot is currently international- but I’ll see you again on June 20 at the Ignite Appalachia Maker’s Market and then all three days at ComFest! As always, I hope you come say hi 🤗

🌸 Big exciting things ahead, and I can’t wait to share them with you!

Wow. What a day. I need a second or very very many seconds to process it all, honestly.

Today was one of those days that just stacks- booth full of the best people, conversations that turned into actual connections, dogs!!!, kids being chaotic and wonderful (shoutout to the little ones who made themselves at home on my rug like they owned the place- they do), and friends stopping by just because they wanted to.

My sister, niece and nephew came and brought me flowers 🥹. My brother came through. My husband and kids came and hung out and helped. And somehow in the middle of all of it I signed some paperwork that I can only describe as life-changing.. the kind that only happens when the right people believe in you enough to make something possible.

Then we ended the day with tacos. Obviously.

This market is why I do this. Not just the selling part, but the showing up, the talking, the laughing with strangers , and helping people download Libby. That’s the whole point.

Canal Wi******er, you were so good to me today!! 🌸

If we met today- hi, I’m so glad you exist. And if you grabbed something from the booth, thank you from the actual bottom of my heart. I hope it was special for you too.

Yall know what I’m going to say, right?

New fave market, yet again!

Today was SO fun. The vendors in my space were perfect and we had such a cozy little loft going on - me, kids books, candles, and loose leaf tea! All we needed was a fireplace and a dog, seriously.

So excited for tomorrow!

These next two markets are extra special to me- I actually postponed a trip abroad just so I wouldn’t miss them, and I’m so glad I did.

After this weekend, I’ll be out of the country for about a month, so if you’ve been meaning to stop by and shop in person, this is your chance! I would love to see your faces before I go. 🫶🏼

This morning was EVERYTHING.

Fun casual chats and laughs, hide and seek behind my table with the cutest giggling babies, listening to a middle schooler rave about her favorite books, deeper convos about community, living with intention, slowing down, integrity, all of it.

Absolutely loved getting to connect with other small businesses and hype each other up (and I loveeee the iced coffee, cinnamon roll, and sugar scrub I treated myself to!!)

And the whole point of it all, for me, is encouraging people to take time- for themselves, for their friends, for their families. Life is so much better with a pause here and there.

Already so excited for my back to back markets next weekend, and can’t wait to see yall there.
