Unfortunately, Luna Rose will not be returning to Blakes tomorrow for the last day of the Lavender Festival. I am absolutely heartbroken and in shock.
Today’s storm was one of the scariest things I’ve ever experienced while doing a market. Everything happened so fast. My tent was destroyed, many of my candles and display items were damaged, and I’ll be spending tomorrow trying to salvage what I can, dry everything out, and buy a new tent.
More than anything, I’m incredibly grateful that my fiancé was with me today. I honestly don’t know how I would have handled everything on my own. As heartbreaking as today was, I’m so thankful we’re both safe. At the end of the day, that’s what matters most.
My heart also goes out to all of the other vendors who lost tents, displays, and products. These aren’t large corporations with endless inventory. They’re small businesses run by real people who pour their hearts, time, and savings into what they create. Days like today can be absolutely devastating.
If you were planning on stopping by my booth tomorrow, I do still have inventory that was safely stored at home and is available on my website. To help make up for the sales I’ll be missing while I recover, I’m offering free shipping on all orders all week. If you’ve had your eye on something, now is a great time to shop from home.
And if you saw another vendor who was affected by today’s storm, please consider supporting them too. Visit their website, place an order, share their business, or simply tell a friend about them. Every purchase truly makes a difference for small businesses like ours.
