This is the season we’ve been planning for and waiting for all year long. September through December can be a wild ride, but as a product business owner, it’s SO fun and SO exciting (and, ok, maaaayyybee just a little stressful... but mostly exciting!).

Demolition on Teak & Twine's new space is done and construction is underway! It won't be long before we can move into our new studio. I'm excited to show you what's been happening at the construction site!
These five words have made me more money than any other words in my six years of business. And they’re the five words I LOVE hearing more than anything from the vendors we work with!
