Well…Here I am. Sitting in a closet. In the throes of prepping for another sweet Dasher Market, in the center of a town I have grown to love with My whole heart, Leipers Fork. The opportunity to host the market literally landed in my lap and came as a side gift after I was hired to design the future store that will be opening in this space in 2026. One conversation led to another and…knowing that renovations wouldn’t begin until later this summer, it became so clear that while waiting to open Bentontown, we shouldn’t let this space sit empty. The heartbeat of Leipers Fork is community, creativity & music. It is a place that has always carried a cadence that whispers “there is something so special here, I can’t quite put it to words…but I feel it, and I hear it, and it moves me…it’s different, and I want to linger here”. To me that speaks of the hearts of the people in this town. The creatives, the musicians, the locals who have grown up here, (all who frequent the community table at country boy, or the patio tables at Fox and Locke), those who have poured their hearts time, vision, and mind and resources into preserving the beautiful land around the village…the passion of the artists and writers who have spent time here…all planting their seeds that have helped to grow such a gem of a town. One that beckons a slow down. So we are jumping at the opportunity to create more community and experience and have opened up the space to some amazing brands, artists, designers, and creatives for the next two months. Hats off to everyone in retail because this is no joke. But it is fun and getting to meet and work with so many creatives is what makes me the happiest. That, and coffee..and chocolate…and labs. :)
We are so excited to open the Spring Market doors at
