Handmade Happy Hours

Thank you to everyone who participated and supported us on Saturday!

As I was walking through the event, I was almost moved to tears with how stunning all the displays looked, how amazing it was to bring back in the way I’ve always envisioned it, and with the kindness and flexibility of all the vendors who participated.

It’s a beautiful thing to see everyone’s hard work come together the way it did on Saturday! Even though we had to make last minute rearrangements, the show was a gorgeous display of talent, community, and collaboration.

Thanks again everyone! And a special thanks to for inviting us to cohost!

A big THANK YOU to everyone who turned out to our market/fundraiser last night! We had a wonderful crowd of people following all COVID precautions and for that, we are very grateful!

Although we didn't raise as much as we'd hoped, we will be donating a little less than $50 to Communities for Better Health. This money will help them buy cleaning supplies for those in Houston, TX who've experienced water damage related to winter storm Uri.

Stay tuned for info about our next market(s)!
