Four FULL days. And somehow, sitting here at the end of it all, my heart feels nothing but gratitude.
I just keep thinking about all of YOU.
Athens, Limestone County, Thank you. Truly.
To every single person who stopped by our booth this week — thank you. Whether you bought something, came back for something you’ve bought before, introduced yourself for the first time, brought a friend over and said “this is the place I was telling you about,” or simply stopped long enough to say hello — you absolutely blew us away. You all are incredible.
We hugged so many of you. We caught up with old friends and made new ones. We talked about products and gardens and kids and life. We heard your stories. We laughed. We waved at familiar faces from across the crowd. And more than once, I stood there looking around, thanking God.
Because Deeded Oaks started in a way very different than where we’re at now.
It started at home, with a need. With things I was making for my own family. With friends trying them. For over a decade, that was us. Then it was a little roadside stand and more figuring it out as we went. And then you all showed up.
You have shared our posts. Told your friends about us. Come back for another bottle. Asked when something would be back in stock. Encouraged us. Trusted the things we make enough to take them into your own homes and use them with your own families.
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to explain what that means to me and I don’t take your trust or support for granted.
This week, you didn’t just support a small business. You reminded me WHY I love doing this in the first place.
So to everyone we met, hugged, chatted with, laughed with, waved to from afar, and sent home carrying a little piece of Deeded Oaks — thank you. YOU filled my heart.
You showed up for us in a way I never could have expected.
And you absolutely, completely blew us away. 🤍
Four very full days. One very tired family. And hearts that are somehow even fuller. (But we are absolutely taking a break tomorrow before a big surprise Monday!)
From our family to yours, thank you for loving this little thing we’re building.
We really do figure it out together. 🌿
And if you saw the new artwork at the booth tonight, yes, it’s a blueberry bandit original. 💙
