Sweet Southern Cravings

06/18/2026

Y'all, if you haven't checked out Vintage 985 yet, you need to. They recently moved locations and had their soft opening today. The new space is absolutely beautiful. Every nook and cranny is filled with amazing finds from so many talented vendors, and you can tell how much hard work and love went into creating it. And have you seen the new logo?? 🥹
Of course I couldn't leave empty-handed. 😂 I found some elderberry syrup from Guernsey Goodies and was thrilled because I've been looking for a local source!
If you're out and about this weekend, go show Amanda and all of her vendors some love!
While you're shopping, don't forget to stop by my booth at Cypress Landing - Louisiana. I've done a partial restock today and will be fully restocked around opening time tomorrow, including some Father's Day baskets and plenty of sweets for Dad (or yourself 😉).
It's a great weekend to shop local and support small businesses. Thank y'all for always supporting mine! 🩷

Good morning, sweets!
We didn't get home from the Louisiana Corn Festival until almost 3:00 AM, and I'm running on fumes today. As much as I hate to miss a market, I need to listen to my body and get some rest, so I will not be at the Abita Springs Art and Farmers Market today.
Thank you to everyone who came out and supported me at the Corn Festival this weekend. Your support means more than you know!
I'll be restocking at Cypress Landing - Louisiana on Wednesday, and I'll be back at Abita Springs Art & Farmers Market next Sunday.
Speaking of next Sunday... it's Father's Day! I'll be putting together a few special treats and will share those tomorrow.
Thank y'all for understanding, and I hope everyone has a sweet Sunday! 🩷

Cypress Landing - Louisiana

06/13/2026

Today is opening day at Cypress Landing and if I'm being honest, I'm a little sad that I can't be there to see all the excitement! I would've loved to be walking around, spying on my booth, seeing what everyone thinks, meeting customers, and finding out who wins the door prize I donated! I know it's going to be an amazing day!

But I'm also exactly where I need to be! At the Louisiana Corn Festival for Queen's Day! 👑🌽

Today is the last day, and I'll be here until midnight. I have fresh strawberries being delivered in about 30 minutes, the weather has been beautiful (and yes, hot), and the atmosphere here has been amazing. The people are friendly, the food is great, there are rides and games for the family, and some really good bands playing throughout the afternoon and evening.

Soooo... if you're within driving distance and looking for something fun to do today, come spend the day with us! Stop by and say hi, grab something sweet, and enjoy everything the festival has to offer.

I'm crossing my fingers for a great day today because this small business owner is feeling a little broke, broke, broke after all these recent adventures and future festivals prep. 😂 Buuuut I wouldn't trade this journey for anything.

Hope to see y'all out here! 🩷

Y’all have been asking so many great Opening Day questions, and honestly…

We LOVE it. 🤎
It means you’re just as excited as we are!

So let’s answer a few of the big ones…

❄️ “Is it indoors?”

Yes indeed. Fully indoor. Fully air-conditioned.
No sweating. No melting. No weather apps required.

🥂 “Will there be drinks?”

Absolutely.

We’ll have waters and complimentary wine available while you shop because treasure hunting is thirsty work. 😉

🎟️“How do we win all these giveaway prizes?”

Easy.

Just walking through the door gets you entered!

Then, for every $25 you spend, you’ll earn more chances to win.

The more treasures you find, the more chances you get. 😉

And yes…
There are more ways to win.

No…
We’re not telling you yet.

Some of y’all already peek at Christmas presents and it shows. 😂

👇 Keep the questions coming!

What’s something you’ve been wondering about Cypress Landing? 🤎✨
