Today, June 19th is a day to honor history, resilience, reflect on the meaning of freedom, & the ongoing pursuit of equity.

“If people can be taught to hate,
they can be taught to love.
But we need to know,
that you can't erase history.
So, let's learn from it and be damned sure it doesn't happen again."
- Opal Lee, (Grandmother of Juneteenth)

💛We would like to send out a big, huge THANK YOU to those of you who took the time to come out to our Spring Open House!
We were blown away yet again by the amazing turnout! You guys have no idea just how much it meant to us to see all of you!

We never know what to expect for our Open House events, will people show up?🥴
With the state of the world lately, every day feels a little uneasy in retail world right now! It’s rough out there for a lot of small businesses & just people in general! The unknown feels scary.

BUT we just felt so incredibly fortunate seeing all of your beautiful faces walk through that door! The never ending love & support means more to us than you could ever know!

New inventory is still rolling in each week! We have a couple more BIG orders on their way as we speak! So continue to bop in & see what’s new!✨

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!❤️🥹

This International Women’s Day we celebrate the strength, resilience, & grace of women everywhere.
Women who nurture, who lead, who dream, who break barriers, & who lift others as they rise.
To the mothers, daughters, sisters, & friends who fill our lives with love.
To the trailblazers who fight for equality.
To the warriors whose courage goes unseen.
You are seen. You are valued. You are powerful.
May we continue to uplift, support, & celebrate women
—not just today, but every day✨
