❤️ A Little Business & Market Update ❤️
First, THANK YOU so much to everyone who came out today to Greenhouse Winery to support us and all of the other amazing vendors! It was such a beautiful day for a fall festival, and I’m so grateful for everyone who stopped by, shopped, chatted, and supported our little business. 🍂🍎🧡
I’ve made a few decisions about markets for the rest of this year and into 2027.
I’ve decided to cut back on my markets through the end of the year. Since starting my part-time job, I’ve realized just how much time markets have started taking away from my family time. And honestly, I’ve only been at the new job for TWO WEEKS! 😂
Going forward, I’m going to stick with having something steady during the week while opening up my weekends a little more for my family, catching up on things I’ve missed, and maybe even doing something I haven’t done nearly enough lately… riding my horse. 🐴🤣
I’m pretty sure he’s wondering why he has been put on the back burner and is currently taking it personally. 😂
I’ll still be doing markets next year, but I’m going to focus on my favorites and hopefully get into some of the larger markets as well. I’ve absolutely LOVED being able to support and participate in the smaller local markets this year, but I’ve simply taken on too many. I’m hoping to scale back to one or two markets a month instead of being out there practically every weekend.
The good news is that my retail partners will continue to be stocked! ❤️
They are a HUGE priority for me because I’m so thankful to have the opportunity to share this little dream of mine with other local businesses. Being able to have my products in local shops and support one another is something I truly value. 🥰
I’ll also be working behind the scenes on something I’m VERY excited about… the website! 🎉
The goal is to have the website launched at the beginning of 2027, so even when I’m not at a market, you’ll still be able to shop with us!
One more update…
I’ve made the very difficult decision to cancel my market this Saturday at the Whistle Stop during Mon Valley Fleatique. I was really looking forward to this one, and I hate canceling, but after doing double markets this weekend, I’ve realized I just can’t keep running at this pace. I need to listen to my own advice and give myself a little breathing room. ❤️
BUT…
I WILL be at Harmony Acres next Wednesday, October 14th! 😍. And that is definitely one market I’ll continue coming back to next year because Harmony Acres is the REAL MVP! 🏆❤️
Thank you all for continuing to support this crazy little dream of mine. Whether you shop at a market, visit one of my retail partners, order online when the website launches, or simply share a post or tell a friend about us — it all means more than you know. 🥰
I’m just learning that growing a business doesn’t mean I have to be everywhere all the time. Sometimes it means slowing down a little so I can actually enjoy the life I’m working so hard to build. ❤️
Now… somebody tell Fuzzy I’m coming back. 🤣🐴
