Black Circle Market
Happy Thursday Y'all!!!
Your chronic worker took some time off! But even on vacation, I still felt some inspiration for @blackcirclemarket while my lovely partner and l perused some markets and vintage shops. We also picked up my creative-assistant and l got to recharge my soul!!! So now I am ready to plan this next Market!!
First I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all the vendors and patrons that came out and made my first Market a very uplifting experience!! Please feel free to reach out with any feedback or advice on what we can do differently going forward!
I have sent out an email to those I had on my list and some folks l remembered saying they were interested in vending on August 30th. | will have a flyer soon for anyone interested in sharing to promote. If any of you are interested in vending and haven't gotten a message yet, please reach out! We got more time to promote this month, but the 30th will be here before we know it, so LET'S GOOOO!!!!
