A BRANCH & CORD

⚠️ Market schedule in progress ⚠️

I'm making a list, checking it twice, trying to figure out which will be naughty or nice ... A Branch & Cord is coming to youuuuuu. 🎵

Friends, I didn't even use AI for that that fun lil diddy. 😂😂 For real though, this season I'm being gentle on myself and my schedule. For some reason, I thought as my kids got older, it would mean I would have more time for my work. But it turns out, as my kids get older they all just get involved with more things and I'm spread even more thin.

So, I'm lessening my holiday market load and I'm picking other small business events to attend this season. I'm still fine tuning the list and I can't wait to share. I hope to see your beautiful face this season. Holiday markets are my favorite of the year! ✨

When your knotted earrings make it all the way to Florence and end up posing with David… 😏 Honestly, I don’t know who’s more iconic here. 😂 Thank you for for taking A Branch & Cord on your adventures! I’m officially adding “David approved” to the earring marketing plan. 🇮🇹✨

The scene: you're at Swan Island Dahlias browsing their amazing merchantile looking for the best hostess gift. You come across their w**e section to see a sweet little white box in the center of the display. (See the last picture for a visual) You pick up the box to investigate closer and notice they are macrame w**e charm markers for stem glasses and you immediately think CUTE!! Now your idea for a hostess gift is complete: a fine w**e + a box of cute and colorful w**e charms. You'll be a favorite guest of the party. Remember, Thanksgiving is just around the corner. 😉

Portland metro locals can grab any of these color sets at in Canby, OR (aka the most amazing dahlia farm) and they can also be found online in my shop. ⬇️

Which set calls to you? The pinks? 🩷 Black 🖤 or greens 💚?

Favorite moments from this past weekend's Summer Market:

1. Throwing my hands up in the air and full on dancing as a welcome for my friend Natalie who was driving up to her vendor spot only to realize it wasn't Natalie. 😂🫣 After this stranger-to-me vendor parked, I laughed and introduced myself to her and she said my welcome dance made her feel so welcome and happy to be here. So, not all was lost. Fellow vendors, lemme know if you want a welcome dance next time I see you.

2. I made this new to me plant hanger style a couple weeks ago after a friend suggested it and it was the first piece I sold Saturday. It's so validating to have a new piece sell quickly.

3. My time with and These ladies are pure gems and I LOVE them. 😉

4. Fist bumping with Gayle and being invited to drink w**e at her beach house. I live for random conversations with strangers that make an impact.

5. Listening to all weekend on the speaker. IYKYK

A big thanks to for hosting a fun and welcoming event.

It's a special one. Tomorrow I am back at one of my favorite events. A BRANCH & CORD will be popping up with many amazing other vendors at Little Rebels with a Cause in West Linn between 11am-4pm on Sunday, July 12th.

This event is extra special because of my love for Rebel Clothing Collective and their mission. They are clothing and gift boutique that focuses on kindness, inclusion and embracing differences.

My youngest has a communication disorder called Apraxia of Speech. Apraxia of speech is a neurological motor speech disorder where the brain struggles to plan and sequence the muscle movements needed to speak. Individuals know what they want to say but cannot consistently make their mouth produce the correct sounds. It's businesses like Rebel Clothing Collective that help normalize differences we all have and give me ways to help advocate for my kiddo.

So, I'm extra excited about tomorrow's event because it means I get to pick up at least 1 new RCC shirt, spend time with some of my favorite vendors and sell my handmade products.

I hope to see you there.

Join us Sunday, July 12th from 11-4 for sipping, shopping, music, and more at Rebel Clothing Collective! We’re welcoming TEN other local small businesses to the West Linn shop for a market day full of fun!

Another triple hat hanger out in the world! I often am asked at markets if I have triples. I don't ever bring any for in person events but I always offer them in my shop! Available in natural or black. Which would you order?
