Regarding the Clarksville Event

I have posted this to my social pages and website, but wanted to also send it out directly to cover all bases.

I recently vended at an event in Clarksville and had no indication that the event was tied to a specific group. After the event was over, I learned that it was actually a fundraiser for a conservative religious group whose values greatly oppose my own and are harmful to people I care about, as the group excludes people based on how they identify, who they love, or how they dress.

I want to be very clear: I do not support that religious group or their values, and I deeply regret that my participation may have suggested otherwise. I continue to support equality, LGBTQ+ rights, and protections for marginalized communities, and will not be vending at that event in the future.

Most of the events I participate in are hosted by schools or community organizations that are supportive—or at the very least, neutral—when it comes to LGBTQ+ rights, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Going forward, I’ll be doing more research into where event proceeds go to make sure the groups I support align with my values.

Supporting my community through my work is important to me and I will continue to fight for inclusion, human rights, and equity for all.

More events in just a few weeks

Next is Howard High School on Sunday, October 26, 10am-3pm. This will be my last event of the year with Halloween-specific decor items, but if you want something Halloween-themed any time of year, feel free to reach out so we can chat about it. I'm happy to help!

Then the following weekend is Oakland Mills High School on Saturday, November 1, from 10am-3pm. I'll have fall decor, stuffies, cat-ear hats, and various cozy apparel.

Event season is early this year! School is back in session and the weather is finally cooling a little, so it's time to start thinking cozy thoughts! I'm doing some new events this year and skipping a couple of past ones that didn't have the right vibes. Since everything I sell is handmade, I try to be mindful to not overextend myself with too many events in a short time. This also gives me more availability for custom orders and special projects for my wonderful customers, like you! Do you...
