Back in March I started building a private mental health group and told nobody about it. Today, I'm finally opening the doors. Why today? Cuz it feels right and cuz if I don't it may be March next year when I get the balls to do it. 😅🫣

The world is hard enough without feeling like you have to carry everything alone. This group was created to be a safe space for people to talk about the heavy s**t, celebrate the wins, vent when life sucks, and remind each other that we're not alone.

No judgment. No bullying. No pretending everything is fine when it isn't. Just real people supporting real people.

Full disclosure: this is my first attempt at running a Facebook group, so I honestly have no idea what I'm doing yet. 😂 I'm sure there will be some trial and error as we grow, but my heart is in the right place and I truly hope we can build something special together.

If this sounds like something you need, or if you simply want to help make a difference in someone else's life, I'd love to have you there. 💚

Because if we can help even one person feel less alone, it's worth it.

What’s up friends?! If you hear tiny little clink noises coming from the market, it’s these!! I def freaked out another shop keeper over the weekend cuz they kept hearing them and didn’t know where the sound was coming from til they walked back and saw them moving from the ac. 😂

I only have 3 at the moment, but they’re all gorgeous and I’m trying to let someone else buy them before I keep debating if one is supposed to be mine. I love all of them so it really is a problem for me currently. Do I want the blue? Or do I want the green? The white goes with everything… but the blue and the green… 😅

My Colombian dream catchers are marked down and need to find new homes so I have room for other things! They would make a great addition to a yoga studio or nursery w the pastel colors… there is a bright coral one too that I’m entirely obsessed with… so someone needs to come take it away so I stop thinking of where I could put it or how I wanna redo my office at home to match it.

It’s been a slow day at the shop, but it’s ok cuz it allows me time to do all the things I don’t wanna do at night when I get home, and I don’t have to cook for myself! Today I decided that I don’t like my business cards anymore so I created new ones that I’ll most likely order soon. They’re way more “me” than the minimalist style I have right now, so it def needs to happen. I am NOT a minimalist. 😂

Reminder that Pride Fest is happening Saturday at NewBo… and my shop is gonna have things that I’ve been hoarding at home that nobody has seen yet. I will also be manning the shop by myself so PLEASE have patience w me if I have to run away to p*e 😆 someone will be watching the shop while I run away and run back but just know there will be times I have to escape! 😂👏🏼 I also have a fun new outfit just for the day so make sure you stop by to see me and get yourself a free pride flag while you’re here! Supply is limited… first come first serve basis for the flags!!

I appreciate every single one of you who continues to show up, show love and show support!! You guys make my heart so freaking happy!!

Happy Wednesday! 💛

You guys.

Because my hubby and I are anime nerds and obsessed with One Piece, I wanted to do something unique for him for Father’s Day this year. I knew I needed Bailey to help me with it due to her being an anime nerd as well. 😆🫶🏼

We started plotting this back in February I believe and he had NO IDEA. 👏🏼 He really just thought I would run away to say hi and come back with snacks every time so we pulled it off perfectly!!

Thank you Bailey @ The Red Fox Bakery for making this a gift he won’t forget!! 👏🏼💛

So I ordered these for Father’s Day and they showed up YESTERDAY… but hey, they technically arrived before Father’s Day, right? 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Did you need to grab something last min for your dad or hubby?? Or need one for yourself? These little can coolers are only $4 and who doesn’t love Billy Madison?! (Shh if you don’t- nobody hates on Billy here 🤣)

I’m doing my best to make it thru the day today without my dad and sending love and digital hugs to anyone else feeling the same. We got this. 🫶🏼

Happy Father’s Day, Guys!!

Side note… it absolutely took me til 3pm to realize this is HAPPY GILMORE… not Billy Madison. Where was my person to call me out?! 😆😂🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m clearly not with it today!!

Update:

Mother Nature isn’t cooperating with our plans tonight. Due to the incoming weather, we have to cancel tonight's Rock the Block. 😭

We are looking into potential reschedule dates and will post updates right here as soon as we have them.

Stay dry and safe tonight!

Thank you so much for your understanding and continuous support. We’ll see you all next Friday!

Just a random late night shout out to Marissa Razzle Thomas / Razzle Dazzle Creations By Rissa for keeping me stocked with all the unhinged things!! 🫶🏼👏🏼

Can we take a moment for the Swear Bears tho?? Not at all kid appropriate but my inner child needs at least one of each for at home on my fridge 😆

Since I’ve had multiple customers come buy them in sets I did some of the work for ya and packaged them all cute. Best part, they don’t cost more cuz of packaging… it’s my lil gift to you. 🙃

There’s bookmarks, pens that are even worse (or better, depends on your sense of humor) in a “Adult Eyes Only” box, pens that are somewhat normal, keychains, bracelets, wall hangings, crystal trays, resin jars… I’ve got a lil bit of all of it!

Come check out her unhinged goodies in my shop and when you’re done judging me, head across the hall to Soul Book Nook and find appropriate items!! (Not tagging due to the photo I’m using!!)

May this photo bring a smile to your face like it did mine… and I’m sorry in advance for anyone who sees this and gasps due to the words used. 😂👏🏼 Slightly sorry but mostly not.

Love you all!

It’s been awhile…

Soooo… I’m moving extremely slow this morning for some reason. My body is sore and I’m just plain exhausted. I woke up at 630 and said nooope and went back to sleep “for an hour”, only to wake up in an absolute panic at 930 to have a napkin tossed at me and be told “I got this, take your time, but don’t leave me all day” by my husband as he was headed out the door to my shop. 🫶🏼

That man isn’t taken for granted (even tho he may feel otherwise at times) and it’s little s**t like him saying “I got this” that makes him my person.
A family came by yesterday and the kids asked where he was and acted almost as if they were disappointed he wasn’t there. It was so cute.

If ya stop by the shop before I happen to get there, say hi and tell him “Amy says kids get a free mini bee today” and show him this post! 😆🫶🏼 kinda wanna see if this works… open til 4pm today!!

Father’s Day is quickly approaching… and if your kids are anything like mine were when they were little, they want to find cute things for their dad. Even if it’s something like a plush toy. My husband still has most that were given to him… and our kids are teenagers now.

Palm pals got restocked this morning! The corn is back!! There’s currently 12 since the 3 I had the first time sold out in the first day!! They go great with a case of Busch Lite and some beef jerky. 😆👏🏼

Newest addition is the cardinal… if you’ve been reading my posts you’ll know what significance this holds for me on Father’s Day. I kept one for myself but there’s 3 left for other humans to grab. ❤️

While my shop may be heavily women focused, I DO have stuff for guys… and plan on bringing more in but I’m not a guy sooo it’s been lots of research and I’m open to suggestions.

Come get your shopping done w the shop keepers and guest vendors here this weekend and get outside and enjoy the gorgeous weather today!

Happy Saturday! 🫶🏼
