Black Lives Matter

#blacklivesmatter #blackouttuesday

Thinking of all of you artists and small businesses out there effected by this increasingly changing social climate due to the Coronavirus. May we all balance social distancing with also moving towards each other in love and support. To all of you more deeply effected by this health crisis, we are so sorry! @rebeccaeichten PC @letsfrolictogether

Can’t believe this was already a week ago!!! Finding special places around the house for the treasures we bought over the weekend and smiling every time they catch my eye. Hope your post Makers Arcade week has been a great one!!! #makersarcade PC| @letsfrolictogether

Inspired!!! One of the words we kept hearing over and over again this weekend about how our attendees felt from being in this space. And we felt that way too! Inspired by the creativity put into each booth and shop. Inspired by people doing what they love from the makers to the food trucks to the musicians to the florists to the kidpreneurs and more. And inspired by the community of people that showed up to support local and handmade businesses of all sorts. We love all of that! #makersarcade PC | @letsfrolictogether

Come shop our 100 local makers, make a minimalist wreath at the free make and take craft area, sip some cocktails and enjoy the live music! It feels very cozy and holiday like here.
