I am honestly still speechless after yesterday. 🩵

The turnout for our Grand Opening Maker’s Market at Copper Mill was beyond anything I could have imagined. We had 42 incredibly talented vendors show up today, and seeing the community come together the way it did was something I will never forget.

The parking lot was completely FULL, cars lined all the way down toward the main road, and EVERYWHERE I looked people were shopping, supporting local, laughing, connecting, and showing love to small businesses. There were so many moments throughout the day where I had to hold back tears because WOW.… you all showed up. 🥹

This isn’t just a job or a hobby for me. This is truly something I feel called to do!! To create a space where people can come together, where artists, bakers, makers, and small businesses can be seen, supported, and celebrated.

Yesterday made every late night, every stressful moment, every setback, every lesson, every doubt, and every year of building this completely worth it. After 3 years of markets, today felt like one of those moments where you realize why you kept going.

To every single vendor… Thank you. Thank you for believing in this market, for showing up, for working so hard, and for sharing your talent with our community. Every one of you brought something unique and special, and this event would not exist without you.

To everyone who came out today.. Thank you for supporting local, shopping small, and showing so much kindness and encouragement. People don’t always realize how much it truly means to small businesses when you choose to support them, but I promise you… it means everything.

Thank you to Copper Mill - Clinton for giving us this opportunity and for all the hard work from the staff yesterday. You all absolutely crushed it, and we are so grateful.

A huge thank you to Chad Olson Guitar for truly setting the vibe today 🎶 Your music brought such a fun, welcoming energy to the market and it honestly would not have felt the same without you there.

And thank you to Trevor, the man who can literally build anything I could possibly imagine 😂 Thank you for always believing in me and helping bring all my crazy ideas to life. At this point, you’re basically my human Pinterest board… I see it, you build it 😅

My heart is so full!! Truly, thank you.

And if you took the time to read all of this… thank you. You truly don’t know how much it means to me. 🩵

WE WILL SEE YOU JUNE 27th! 🤪🥳
