We're back in action. ❤️
First, thank you all so much for your patience over the last few weeks while I took some time to navigate life and the loss of my mom. Your kindness, support, and understanding have meant more than you know.
Now it's time to get back to doing what I love.
We're in Oak Island today until 1:00 PM, so come out, say hi, and check out all the new goodies! We've got a full week of markets ahead, and I can't wait to see so many familiar faces.
Let's do this. 💛

I've been a little quiet over here lately, and I wanted to share why.

After six long weeks of fighting an infection in her brain, I lost my mom—the woman who created me, inspired me, and helped make me the artist and person I am today.

Losing my mom has been heartbreaking. Losing my best friend has been something I don't quite have words for yet.

If you've noticed fewer posts, fewer new pieces, or a little less of me showing up online, that's why.

My mom was one of the strongest, most creative people I knew. A lot of who I am as an artist came from her. She taught me to make things, fix things, figure things out, and keep going even when life gets messy. She gave me my creativity, and right now it's helping me find my way through the grief.

I'm doing my best to keep showing up, keep moving forward, and create when I can. Grief isn't a straight line, but if she taught me anything, it's that quitting was never really an option.

Things may be a little slower around here for a while, and I appreciate your patience more than I can put into words. Every kind message, order, comment, and bit of support means the world right now.

Thank you for being here. ❤️

Cant wait for Tuesday!! See you in OIB Tuesday from 9-1!

We’re down at the Blue Crab Festival all weekend long and the vibes are immaculate. Come hang out, shop small, and say hey — we’re in spot 415!
If you’re coming down Mineola, look for the Hurricane Jules sign, hang a right, and boom… we’re the very first booth on the right. Easy peasy.
Tons of vendors, amazing food, live music, sunshine, shopping, and all the good coastal chaos you could want in one day. Come make a day of it with us. 🦀✨

PSA for anyone who enjoys the greener side of life 🌿 — please be mindful about leaving anything where the wind, the yard, or curious little noses can get to it.
Yesterday, our CEO of Snuggles managed to sample the neighbor’s “gardening supplies” and earned himself an emergency vet trip. 😅
The panic was VERY real… right up until the vet basically told me my dude was just spiritually vacationing on top of a mountain somewhere. Then I couldn’t stop laughing.
He’s recovering well, currently accepting cuddles, snacks, and zero judgment while we look into Doggy NA meetings. 🐶😂

Remember those poppies from yesterday? Well today is their debut! Im in love! At the Southport waterfront til 2pm.

Graphic stripes and a bold red poppy? Oh, she’s cute cute. 🌺✨
The square donuts though? Jury’s still out. 😂 They’re giving “trust the process” at the moment, but I’ve got ideas brewing, so don’t count them out just yet.
