One of the greatest gifts that has come from me working on projects like Afterglow Market Artery Alley and The Block Market is that I have been able to connect, reconnect with many of my peeps in the Detroit, Michigan handcrafted/handmade community and build new relationships with the greater Lansing, Michigan creative community!

This summer – the summer of Afterglow Market at Rotary Park every Friday from July 2 – September 3 – is going to be awesome! There are so many surprises in store. Make sure you stay connected with me, y’all! |THIS.
