Happy Friday! I'm going to keep this one super short because we have two markets back-to-back and I have to be on my way...
Our first outdoor holiday market is tonight! It's at Heritage Park in North Lakeland from 5pm-9pm! Family friendly spooky fun with vendors, food, treats, and shopping! Feel free to wear your costumes, trick-or-treat around the park, and support local!
Then we wake up and return for an indoor market back at the Black Swan Venue in downtown Lakeland! Vampires or werewolves?! Our Twilight-inspired pop-up market, which got featured in the LALtoday, celebrating the series' 20 years! Numerous vendors (featuring very special curated items for the occasion), food, treats, shopping, giveaways, and more! We’ll decide who has more fans… Team Edward or Team Jacob! (P.S. If you love Twilight, you're going to be amazed at some of these vendors that are new to me... and you!) And personally, I'll be selling 10 each of these...
First come, first serve! I almost forgot! This Saturday, the cat rescue is returning! We will have kitties with us! 😻

This newsletter is sponsored by Las Rosas Colombian Cuisine & Catering This Week's Welcome Saturday's mini pop-up at Foxtail Coffee Co. went very well :) You couldn't have asked for better weather!
