Tomorrow, December 17th, is my last day at . A journey. A gift. ✨

My first day was in March 2012. It was pouring rain. I borrowed a black Oakley tent from a friend and my only customer was a man who excitedly came to my booth thinking I was selling sunglasses and instead was confronted by sweet fruit and vegetable illustrations. It was difficult hard.

Thanks to the support of Carla , Castle castle), Liszt , my bestie Chris and SO many other incredibly humans at PSM I tried again and again until eventually I found a home, a community and a place for A Little Sun to thrive.

Over the last 11 seasons, I have spent my weekends - 10 months of the year - meeting incredible customers, being inspired by the talent of my colleagues and I also…

- Painted 84 original illustrations
- I met, was engaged and married my person
- I welcomed two nephews and an additional niece!
- I lost a pregnancy
- I was confronted with the ups and downs of having a chronic illness
- My father died unexpectedly to cancer - 18 months later my magical mother died rapidly to cancer
- 6 months later my step-father passed ❤️❤️❤️
- I went to graduate school to become a Clinical Rehabilitation Counselor
- I had a daughter…they are powerful, empathetic magic
- I had a son…they are loving
,authentic laughter
-I bought my first home

And I am happy and profoundly grateful. The Portland Saturday Market will always be my home…thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏼
