There is something about that cozy autumn glow in the shops right before we turn on the lights, it just hits different. ✨ But there’s also a very fine line between ‘living the dream’ and standing in one space, realizing the one thing you need is all the way over at the other one. 🤪

When you walk through our doors, you see a beautifully curated space filled with the brilliant work of hundreds of artists. What happens behind the scenes is a one-person circus act ~ curator, designer, cheerleader, content creator, inventory keeper, and professional finder of the missing artist code, all while trying to be in two places at once. 🤓

As it turns out, opening a second storefront does not actually mean I get another me. That would be helpful!😅 Most days are fueled by caffeine, spreadsheets, willpower, and a whole lot of heart. ❤️

In all seriousness, this growth chapter has been beautifully messy and wild. I would have lost my mind months ago without my tiny but mighty team, my tribe, and the incredible Cincinnati community that keeps wrapping its arms around these spaces. 💖

I am exhausted, I am stretched, and I am so fiercely grateful. If you love what we’re building, come see us this season. Bring a friend, buy the print, grab the earrings, or pick up the exact thing that makes you smile. Every single purchase supports hundreds of local artists and keeps this wild dream alive. ✨🥰
