THIS PAST WEEKEND WE PARTICIPATED IN A SMALL MARKET THAT THEY HAVE ONE SUNDAY OF EVERY MONTH IN SAN CLEMENTE, CALIFORNIA. SO COOL... WE WERENT REALLY SURE WHAT TO EXPECT, WE HAD A FRIEND TELL US ABOUT IT. HE SAID IT WAS A LITTLE MARKET WHERE A FEW ARTISTS GET TOGETHER ONCE A MONTH AND HAVE A LITTLE SHOW. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHECKING OUT SHOWS LIKE THIS, I AM PRETTY SURE THEY ARE POPPING UP ALL OVER, IN FACT A FRIEND OF MINE SAID THEY WERE STARTING TO HAVE THEM OVER IN BALI ALSO. AS A NEW SMALL CLOTHING BRAND IT WAS REALLY COOL TO GET TOGETHER WITH OTHER SMALL BUSINESS STARTERS, PEOPLE WHO TOOK THEIR PASSION AND MADE A BUSINESS OUT OF IT. IT WAS REALLY INSPIRING. WE ALSO MET A BUNCH OF REALLY COOL PEOPLE AND MADE NEW FRIENDS, TO HELP INSPIRE US TO KEEP DOING IT. HONESTLY, THE BEST PART OF SELLING IN MARKETS LIKE THIS, IS YOU GET TO MEET THE PEOPLE WHO BUY YOUR STUFF AND GET TO CHAT WITH THE REAL PEOPLE WHO ARE BACKING YOUR STUFF. IT WAS COOL TO SEE PEOPLE GET EXCITED ABOUT THE STUFF WE WERE EXCITED ABOUT. OVERALL MORAL TO THE STORY IS WHEN THEY SAY "SHOP LOCAL" I GET IT NOW, ITS RAD GO OUT AND MEET THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE YOUR STUFF, IT GIVES SO MUCH MORE MEANING TO THE THINGS YOU OWN WHEN THEY ALL HAVE A STORY AND FACE BEHIND THEM.
IF YOU ARE EVER IN SAN CLEMENTE YOU GOTTA LOOK UP theyurtsc.com AND FIND OUT WHEN THE SHOWS ARE CAUSE THERE ARE SOME TREASURES IN THERE, FROM JEWELRY TO ESSENTIAL OILS TO AWESOME CANDLES AND CLOCKS, TO VEGAN SNACKS EVEN SOME REALLY COOL CLOTHING. AND PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU STOP BY AND SAY HELLO TO US, CAUSE WE LOVE TO MEET NEW PEOPLE.
