I still can't believe I did it! From the last minute location change to not getting many ticket sales until the week of, the Summer Solstice Sip & Shop was a success within itself!

If you read my recent post, New Boutique on the Block, then you know that everything was going smoothly until about two weeks before the actual event. The initial location fell through, the DJ was barely paid for AND I still had to figure out where in the hell I was getting 11 tables and 20+ chairs from for the vendors.

Fast forward to Saturday and no one would have ever know the half of what I went through to make this event happen.

This event wasn't supposed to be this big, but I'm kind of glad it was. As a entrepreneur, I know how hard it is to sell a service/product to people who don't really understand you or your brand. I wanted to create a space for people like me to be creative and stand behind their vision as an artist.

The word artist isn't just associated with art but considered to be someone whose skilled at a particular task. Someone who is creative and has the ability to come up with their own ideas and implement them.

I was so unsure of myself through out the entire planning process but God showed me what he was capable of.

Thank you to everyone who helped to make this event a successful one and to those who came out to support me and the businesses. I am so thankful for my my friends, family, my Stylist United team and the owner, Danny. If it weren't for you guys, it probably wouldn't have turned out as great as it did.
