The premise is, local handmade and vintage vendors purchase a table, display their goods, and the shop [...]

So, Ryan and I have decided that it just isn’t worth beating around the bush any longer. I want to have a profession that encourages my creativity, offers me the freedom to choose my own schedule, and gives me the sense of belonging and responsibility that I never got when I was working for someone [...]

Pals! Since the first Picnic Music + Arts Festival, I have been simply enamored by the feel of the entire affair.

Facebook Fan Page

Although I do realize it is rather presumptuous to make my own “Fan Page”, I sought an internet space where I could keep people updated on the current happenings in my shop. I do love to post photos & things in here (& will continue to do so), but there are a lot of people [...]
