The Golden Stitch

Guys...I'm running out of room for all the headbands on my display. Y'all better help a sister out and scoop some up! I replenished most of the designs I've had, plus added some new prints like Disney princesses, bumble bees, kitty cats, doggos, and pickles (not a fan of pickles but I know people who LOVE them)!

Check me out at the Sykesville Farmers Market Sundays or PM me for local pickup. I also offer shipping.

A warm welcome (and morning) from the Sykesville Farmers Market! Come by to check out some handmade bits and bobs. I'm sure you will find something you like!

It's a great morning for the Sykesville Farmers Market! I have one of my sidekicks with me and she's ready to create beautiful bracelets for customers on the spot! Come see us; we are here until 1pm!

We've got lots of new, fun, cheery, summer prints for our beloved rice heat + cool packs. They come in size large, small, two hand warmers, and our fan favorite: cat packs!

Two little kiddos are going to be tickled when they receive their pillow bed covers! Aren't these prints just the cutest!! Just slip five standard bed pillows in the cover and voilà! You have yourself a perfect space for reading, naps, movie night, slumber parties, or a calm down corner! Plus they roll up with the attached ties to stow away.

Welcome to The Golden Stitch!
(Swipe to see now vs. my first market!)

Today is the perfect opportunity for a quick intro of me and my biz! It all started when I had kids- I love sewing things for them like jammies, clothes, stuffies, and all the things. I found a really cool idea to make a roll-up pillow bed for my kiddos' indoor playhouse. After several of my kids' Moms asked me to make one for them, I decided to start selling them. I kept getting requests for other products and also had lots of ideas of my own. So I decided to start a business and sell at the local farmers market, as well as list them on Etsy.

My first market day, I was not prepared! I was not happy with my setup and I kept thinking that I didn't look legit enough. So the next market, I put a lot of effort into my displays (I made all of them), signage, and marketing, and I am always improving and changing things!

And here we are today! I'll be at the Sykesville Farmers Market this season, today being the season opener. Please stop by and see all the cool things I have to offer!

Ps. Take a peek at my first market in the 2nd pic!

How are you supposed to choose which headband pattern to get?! Lots of *NEW* patterns for the summer will be available at the first Sykesville Farmers Market of the season tomorrow!

What a perfect morning to sip on a hot coffee at the 10 year celebration of Kismet Cafe! Stop by to check out all of the unique products made by your local artisans.

Ps. Also, it's the perfect opportunity to get your coffee cozy here at The Golden Stitch, then drop in at Kismet Cafe for a coffee!

Cheers!

Check out today's event at kismet cafe! TGS is set up here (waiting for the sun to come out 😏 ) . It's going to be a beautiful day!
