So many reasons to praise the Lord!!

I just want to say, THANK YOU, LORD, for sending me such a wonderful community of girlies who are striving to be a light in this world. So much has been going on lately, and I figured it was only right to bring you all up to speed.

Not really sure where to start, so we'll just dive right in!

Market season is officially among us! We had our first market of the season just a week after getting back in town from my sister in law's graduation, where I helped plan and run her grad party. Needless to say, I was on the edge of my seat right up until market day! It was so sweet getting to meet some of you and make new friends along the way.

I still have a few little treasures left over that will be making their way to the shop very soon. We also have more markets coming up, so the big collection drops will be slowing down. Instead, I'll be adding little goodies here and there, so keep your eyes peeled!

Now for a rapid fire life update!

I have the most amazing opportunity to help build a new private school, and I am so pumped! There are so many exciting things in the works. I've also been serving more at church lately, and it has brought me so much joy to serve the Kingdom. I'm especially excited to help at camp this summer!

We are beginning to find such a loving community here and are really soaking in all the simple summer days and nights. I'm learning to embrace a slower pace and leave room for rest, which has been such a gift.

On top of all of that, my husband and I are coming up on our second wedding anniversary, which feels so surreal. I am truly blown away by how God has been shaping and strengthening our relationship over the years. And this year, as we celebrate, we are also in the process of closing on our first home! We are so grateful for this opportunity and for our families, who have walked alongside us through every step, because y'all, this process can feel so overwhelming!

This season has felt a little wild and wonderfully full, but through every new beginning, every busy day, and every answered prayer, I've been reminded that there is always a reason to praise!

Thank you for being here and supporting this little dream of mine. I am so excited to continue sharing life, creativity, and all the little moments in between as we step into this next chapter together.

With love,

Aliyah ♡
