This past weekend we had the pleasure of being a part of the Craftery along with 50+ Local small businesses at the Hortulus Farm + Nursery family festival and summer market. Not gonna lie, it was a rough one. The weather put us through it with the possibility of rain and thunderstorms throughout the day, high humidity and temps, as well as greenhouse effects. Though through it all, it was a truly magical experienceĀ āØ
I mean, just look at the location. Can you say, d r e a m y ?

Not only was the location spot on, the people were great. I quote one beautiful soulĀ said to us while taking in our setup and products, āYouāre like a mini Anthropologieā (I take this as a pretty big compliment šš»āāļø). Her eyes lit up like a millennial in a plant shop. Yaāll this is why we do this.
We also got the chance to make new friendsĀ and reconnect with others. Thereās no feeling like when youĀ are able to meet in person with thoseĀ who are good company and like minded.

We met Nestle, founder of Tone Collection, at a previous Craftery market. She is the sweetest and her candle company is top notch ātheir branding is to die for! So good! They focus on sustainable, vegan wax candles and evenĀ hand-pour their concrete vessels. A truly elevated handcrafted product.

We recently stumbled upon Christina of Cloude Skincare on social and have slowly been dropping likes on her page in order to find a way to initiate conversation and he we were at the same market! Such a vibrantĀ soul and variety of skincare goodness. Give her some loveĀ š

A friend of ours, Victoria ( a fellow small business owner herself ) visited and brought much needed refreshing vibes for the day. She is a kind soul and a talented photographer. Thanks for the love! Ā
Last we wanted to share a full circle moment āturns out that one of the Craftery staff helping out at the market, Kelli, is a former customer who was at one of our markets in Upstate New York a couple years ago! She lives in the Lehigh Valley which my husband and I and JLM now reside in. She also used to work at Lehigh Valley Style which my full time job at Pressed Bouquet Shop has been published by multiple times! Itās such a small world yāall. She is one of the nicest and most encouraging and connected women I have ever met and I hope that this is just the beginning of our ongoing story. Follow her on insta for all the hiddenĀ gemsĀ in the Lehigh Valley!

I have been converted. I donāt usually enjoy caramels, but these. These are very good. I highly suggest checking them out. I got two different flavors: chaiĀ and spicy caramels. And then a bag of their classic for my momma (she loves caramels, obvs). Ā Ā |
