Exciting News for October
Hello Friends,
I know it has been a while since we have connected, but trust me when I say, I have been missing you all! As I have been navigating through the new weekly routines, I have been finding such a beautiful community that is embracing me on this healing journey. Joining Midtown Mercantile Merchants has been such a blessing. Did you know Midtown houses over 100 small businesses/owners? When you shop there, you are truly supporting fellow Tucsonans that are chasing their dreams like me :) Plus, it's just a beautiful and inspiring place to get lost in, have you been yet?
Along with Midtown, I was invited by Jessica, the owner of ReArt to join her pop-up called "Back to the Holidays Market" located at 2432 N Pantano Rd. on the East side of Tucson. So, me and a few of the CoCo vendors have rented spaces there for this event that runs from Oct 15-Dec 24th, Wed-Sun's 10-6pm. I will drop a flyer below with all of those details too!
Finally, the most exciting news to come to the booth is....Sweet Pickins Milk Paint! Along with their other brand Farmhouse Finishes Milk Paint. These two paints are so lovely and the perfect pairing with my Iron Orchid Designs products. I was really drawn to this brand because it is woman owned and has the longevity of proven quality, safety and ease of use. Plus, I absolutely LOVE that in powder form it will last forever, you only mix up what you need for your project with warm water!! If you are familiar with milk paint, I am sure you will love this brand, and if you are new to milk paint, I will be here for you should you choose to try it. I will be at Midtown Mercantile Merchants, October 23rd from 11-1ish, to introduce you to Sweet Pickins!
As always, I am so humbled by you staying along for this new ride with me. I am so insanely grateful to be able to still create with the most amazing products, all with you still supporting me and my little(r) business. I am looking forward to the holidays and having you come check out both spots for your gift giving or crafting needs!
Biggest Hugs,
Shannon
