** LETS KEEP TRYING TO GROW ** Over the last couple weeks I have been trying to raise some extra money to help with expanding the store. This money will be used to help with renovations of putting a hole in wall, making the empty space next door to me & my space one large space. I have another 3 weeks or so to try to get my landlord some money he wants to allow me to get this space & make it work. I have some great ideas that I want to make happen if we can get this extra space. The store will change somewhat & new ways to operate & grow will be in place. Very excited to make this happen so fingers crossed with all of the efforts put in teamwork will make the dreamwork. Big big thanks to the 27 people who have donated $1400 so far!! We have had 2 cash donations, 4 venmo donations & 21 GoFundMe donations. For anyone who has came to the store to buy some things recently or bought anything ever THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT. Me & all of these 200+ artists appreciate you!! If you cant donate no hard feelings, but if you could share one of the recent posts over the last couple weeks that would be awesome!! Many may ask why not get a business loan from bank, well Ive tried. CS just isn’t high enough at moment, but hopefully with some sales at store & some efforts from the art community we can try to continue to grow and get this extra space. Always like to take time to say THANK YOU! To all of the artists, art lovers & buyers, neighbors in Highlands, friends & family.. thanks! To all of the traveling people who find me, repeat customers, anyone who has ever shared my posts thank you!Truly cant be me without so many of you all & we will keep trying to grow & keep this store alive one day & one step at a time! I know what it means to some people, I know what it means to the local art community. Its been a fun tough battle but I wouldn’t trade this path & journey in for any other one. ( Well maybe Scottie Scheffler path) But thats besides the point. Again thank you for the love & support, have a great Tuesday & rest of week out there!! Big love from me to you!! ❤️🔥🤝🎨 ❤️

How many places do you know of that has 200+ artists work on display under one tiny roof?! For real.. how many? How about a place that has paintings, drawings, vintage clothing, hype wear / street wear, jewelry, stickers, patches, glass art, shoes, all under one tiny roof. Do you enjoy being able to walk into a unique one of a kind space & be able to buy handmade pieces of magic that don’t cost an arm & a leg. A place to get a one of a kind gift for yourself or a loved one. Do you like helping small businesses grow & expand to reach the next level?! We are trying to get the empty space next door to my gallery, put a hole in wall to make the two spaces one large one. We are trying to get art lovers, artists, friends & family of mine & artists with large dreams to come together to reach this goal. I have created a Go Fund Me, link is in bio with more details. Going to post link on story all week & weekend as well. Donations can also be made on any electronic apps or in person as well. Even if you donate $1, $5, $10 that can go a long way of helping us reach this goal to acquire more space to grow in. Even simply sharing a post can go a long way.. I understand some friends & 100% some family don’t want to share these posts on their page. I understand some ppl do not have the funds & do not want to donate any money. I understand, I get it. I STILL LOVE YOU! But deep down from the bottom of my heart & soul thank you to every person who has donated on venmo or go fund me! Up to $1175! It truly means the world to me that so many ppl are willing to extend a helping hand to see me & this gallery try to reach the next level! I am so blessed to have such an awesome support system & amazing art community. REMEMBER YOU ARE NEVER ALONE, NEVER GIVE UP & ALWAYS PUT THAT BEST FOOT FORWARD. Shine your light, be there for your neighbor best you can! ITS NEVER AS BAD AS IT SEEMS, YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH EVERY & ANY GOAL YOU SET FOR YOURSELF. NEVER STOP LEARNING & GROWING, THERE IS ALWAYS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. THE GRASS IS GREENER WHERE YOU WATER IT! Be the best version of yourself, I promise it’s enough! One more thing when you look in the mirror be sure to smile back! ❤️🎨🤝

❤️🤝🎨🔥 WE ARE BACK AGAIN TODAY TO GIVE THANKS! As day 3 rolls along of trying to gather money to help expand store we have reached $1000 on GoFundMe & $125 on Venmo. The goal is to try to snag this empty space next to my store with in the next 3 weeks. All of the money donated so far is helping big time & really chipping away at what we need to make this expansion happen. Got some cool things I want to do with this extra space. Ready to see what kind of growth year 6 holds. For 5 years I have been trying to navigate this thing alone, finally these past 3 months I have found a couple new teammates in Ash & The Hidden Colors Planet Lovestar Fashion that have been helping big time. Excited to keep this ball rolling, community love is REAL & again I cant say thank you loud enough! Donations can be made on the Go Fund Me link in bio. Its all over the page, posting it on story daily as well. Venmo, cashapp, zelle, paypal, & in person donations are all also welcome. Message for those app payment options. Please open up the Go Fund Me link, read the details, if you feel like donating do it, but if not, no big deal. Would love for you to share some of the previous posts over last few days for me if you don’t mind or share the link to the Go Fund Me, that would be greatly appreciated. But if you don’t feel like doing that, I understand and I still love you! For anyone who has supported me and my store over the years it means the world! Coming by to hangout, passing out stickers, coming to buy gifts for any occasion you may need to buy a gift for, sharing my posts or simply liking a post. THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!
