A Lot On My Palette - Watercolor by Nicole

My booth ( #30) at KC Finds on N. Main here in Decatur is restocked with cards & paintings! The shop has resale and independent vendors and a TON of great opportunities for holiday gift finding 👀🎁🎨

Witches Night Out was fun and sweet 🍭🍬🎃👻🧙🏼‍♀️ up next: getting ready for the winter holiday season, taking custom orders, preparing Christmas card and ornament bundles, and restocking in Peoria and Decatur!

Can’t wait to see you for Witches Night Out downtown this Thursday! I’ll be set up inside on Main and Merchant 👻🧙‍♀️ come on by from 4-8pm and even wear a costume if you’re feeling spooky!

My grandmother (and biggest fan) sent me this photo of my first “official” greeting card she saved, given to my grandparents for Grandparents’ Day long ago 👩🏻‍🎨 just a little throwback for fun!

I love putting together card sets for orders 🫰

My dad purchase my first-ever set of thank you cards - and I commend him, because I've only improved my work!

Let me know how many cards you want, and you won't forget a birthday or a "just because" again 🥳

Pop by the Finder’s Market at the Progress City grounds to see me in booth #20 😊 I’ll be reading between customers, but don’t ask me what I’m reading (iykyk, booktok queens) 📚

Finder's Harvest Market is TOMORROW! There are always so many unique vendors, and last time I was here, the weather was gorgeous 😘

Come see me from 9am-3pm 🥳

Updated Fall Market schedule 2024 💌🎃🤭🍁

REMINDER: Fall Markets are coming up! 🍁🌿

I'll see you on September 14th for the biggest market I get to do this fall at Progress City USA! Then, on September 20th is my first market with the Forsyth Market.

Come say hello!👋

August lasted approximately 27 years! I had a quick break, then start-of-school activities had me working 12-hour days. Here’s some of my favorites as we get back in the swing of things 📚✏️🎨

Thanks for the feature Prairie Commons Business Collective 🩷 Downtown Decatur First Fridays this summer were absolutely some of my favorite times! I also get to connect with other small business owners and pump them up, too 😄

Make sure to follow and like on all platforms to keep up with the next pop-ups!

This week's vendor spotlight: A Lot On My Palette - Watercolor By Nicole! A Lot On My Palette is a growing small business offering one-of-a-kind, handmade watercolor artwork🎨 Nicole is selling watercolor cards, bookmarks, and just about anything you could imagine! Be sure to give her a follow and look out for her next event!

Keep a watch on our Prairie Commons Business Collective page for our next small business pop-up event!

My brain resets to the school year each August. It's also the month of birthdays for literally 6 of my close friends! Just a note: get those birthday cards in advance (you can order them any time)! 🎨

I get to teach a class each fall where I can choose my own topic, and this year, I'm focusing on civic engagement because it's an election year - registering to vote, how to evaluate resources for bias, etc.

May this year bring you peace, courage, and agency to do exactly what you need for your body and brain 🧠

It was a dazzling evening at Downtown Decatur First Fridays tonight! Met so many fellow Swifties, saw many incredible shirts, and even traded some of my stickers for a friendship bracelet 🩷 thanks to the pals who showed up for a nearly sold out event!

If you know me, you know I'm "Down Bad" for this First Friday in Downtown Decatur! Join me and a bunch of other Swifties for a Taylor Swift-Themed Event at 100 E. Main St., including Taylor-themed candles with T's Candles!
