Hello and good morning! Happy Saturday to you and yours! Today finds me, bright and early, at the lovely event venue of 3 Oaks Farm!
Those who follow my posts know that I attended a FANTASTIC open house here a few weeks ago. I was lucky enough to be invited back!
So, here I am! Set up with my Tire Tales books, poetry chapbooks, custom poem flyers, and wedding service flyers! I am so happy to be here and be enjoying such a lovely day surrounded by such wonderfully creative people!
Before I dive into the post, please check out the services I offer on my Services page and know that you can get in touch with me by Sending A Letter (AKA emailing me via contact form)! I look forward to working with you!
At the end of this article, I will have a list of each vendor here as well as a picture of their booth and business card and how you can reach them! These are some AMAZING people so be sure to check them out!
The Venue
If you have never heard of 3 Oaks Farm, you are missing out! Located directly off Hurt Bridge Road at 3565 Tallant Drive Cumming, Ga – this venue is absolutely amazing with a wonderfully friendly staff that want to make your event the most perfect version it can be!
Below are some images I took today while on the property! There’s just something about this place that makes the light JUST RIGHT. These photos are completely unedited! Wouldn’t YOU look good here with your future spouse? Standing side-by-side as you promise your lives to one another? I think so!
The Event
This Friday-Saturday (May 6th and 7th) marked the very first Mother’s Day event here at 3 Oaks Farm! Vendors of all talents came and set up with their best gear to give the mother’s out there something special for Mother’s Day (May 8th).
Marsha Gravitt, the runner of the event, was there for her vendors with any need that may arise! The wind proved a challenge on Friday evening but a nice cool start with the promise of a warm Saturday brought the light!
I was here with my custom poetry, poetry chapbooks, and Tire Tales series ready and waiting to write on-the-spot poems for event attendees!
I was even lucky enough to get to attend alongside my mother, who runs her own t-shirt quilting business called Material Memories (find her website here).
The event was the first of (hopefully) many more like it to come to the Gravitt Farm!
