Little Pretend Homestead

I was terrible about taking any photos, but managed to remember to snap just one.
Had an incredible day, met some fabulous new vendor friends, and just plain had fun.

It was a good, albeit HOT day, to have a good day.

Thank you to all who came out! ❤️

Teeny-tiny business market prepping! Tagging and bagging items today, and we’ll see what the final 24 hour, pre-market prep marathon produces. Can’t wait!

I’ll be located behind Farm Girl Mercantile on Saturday, (09/19) from 10am-4pm.

If you can’t make it, I’ll always chat custom and special orders. Contact me here or on my Etsy. ❤️

I’ll be outside, enjoying the sun, the music, friendship, and the cutest little town in Indiana. Come visit and shop local! 🤗

Here we go! One month until my only market this year, and market prep has begun! 🤗

While I’ll have some of my traditional, colorful makes, keep an eye out for moody fall making her appearance. Wish me luck!

I’ll post more about where you can find me as we get closer; but for now, mark those calendars for September 19th for a fun, outdoor, Gilmore Girls-eque sort of evening. I can’t wait!

Due to an incredibly busy season of life, I will not be accepting any custom orders for the foreseeable future.

I WILL, however, be market prepping all summer for an adorable outdoor market deep in the heart of historic Franklin! (I’ll chat more when details are released this summer!)

Until then, you’ll find me in the ballet studio, on the soccer fields, at music lessons, traipsing through my garden, (fighting squirrels. Grrr.) planning for the new homeschool year, (because when you help run a homeschool group the work never stops) running my OWN homeschool, working in the kitchen, and maybe, just maybe, crocheting in the margins. Probably at midnight. 😆

What would like to see at a market? I have a list of things to make but I love to see your suggestions!

Sunny spring Sundays call for something new:

New yarn and a new pattern; wonder what it will be? 🙃
