I spent the day at the Granville Area Chamber of Commerce’s Women in Business conference today and, before anyone asks, nooooooo, I still did not leave the Village. Very on brand. IYKYK 😂
And I just need y’all to know that somewhere between the panels, familiar faces, and realizing just how many badass women I know in this little village, it hit me again how much Granville has become part of my purpose, my story… my growth.
When I moved here and opened Relic & Reverie, I knew I was bringing something a little… weird. Plants, vintage, curiosities, witchy treasures, old stuff, pretty stuff, strange stuff, basically my personality in retail form…And instead of ever feeling like I wasn’t the vibe or like I needed to tone it down, I felt so so sooooo welcomed. People showed up. They shared the shop, sent friends, made introductions, invited me, included me, and cheered me on. So, seeing so many wonderful women in one space today supporting each other really felt like one giant reminder that there really is room for all of us.
One of my favorite moments was watching one of my fellow 124 S. Main Street girlies Kelly Ellis from Revive Women's Health, absolutely KILL IT on the wellness panel. Very much a “That’s my GIRL!!!” moment! And that’s really what I love about this place.
The more amazing shops, restaurants, services, makers, and businesses we have here, the more reasons people have to come to the Village, wander around, discover something new, and keep coming back. Somebody else doing well does not take anything away from the rest of us, it makes the whole place better.
I love my little Village! I love feeling like I live in a slightly unhinged Hallmark movie and I’m just really freaking grateful to be one weird little piece of a community that shows up for each other.
So I guess all that to say THANKS to my Village! 🌿🖤🦇🥀🌙
