First! If you are new here, THANK YOU. I appreciate you after everything that's happened this week with Painted Tree. Here's a few housekeeping updates -

Thanks to Ladie Lex Scented Candles - I am working on compiling a master list of all local businesses who were impacted by Painted Tree's closing. Please be patient because I went and followed all of them on my personal account, and now I get to do it all over again on my business account so I can properly tag them in a post. Expect this master list tomorrow.

Secondly - I have almost DOUBLED my follower count. It's official y'all, I'm famous. 😆 I promise I won't let it go to my head (if it's not clear, I'm joking). But because there's so many new people, we get to hold YET ANOTHER give away. Please keep your eyes peeled this weekend where we're going to do a huge prize opportunity for our new and long-time followers.

Love you, love God, love Des Moines. 🖤🤍

We are truly saddened by Painted Tree's decision to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which affects hundreds of vendors across the country. The professional side of me wants you to know, we are going to be ok and bounce back. But in the meantime, stick around for an update as I get a list going of all the local vendors and business in DSM that were impacted.

In the meantime, shop and support local. We'll see you at Living History Farms on April 25th and Downtown on May 2nd.

Going to go to the food pantry and donate my 3-ish loaves of soap (35 bars worth) because I'm ready to start creating again.
