Porter Flea, Summer 2023

I’m back in Ohio, and reflecting on the awesome that was my first out of state market. I packed up with my bud, Stephanie Shields, and we headed south to Port Flea. It was a 250+ vendor event at the Nashville Fairgrounds.

Porter Flea was such a well curated event! I was so inspired by all the different booth displays and decorations! We were neighbors to last season’s “Best Booth” winner, Elektra Cosmetics. So that was a massive boost of inspiration!

I came away feeling so inspired, and ready to really up my brand presence for in-person events.

Maybe the most important thing I took away from the event was the confidence that I can keep doing this thing! The people of Nashville were so kind and welcoming! They responded well to my products, and I made some really lovely new connections. I’m feeling energized and ready to keep building on this little business.
