Over the last 2.5 months, I’ve been nonstop sewing bowl cozies in preparation for The Big Gay Market craft fair at The Alliant Center in Madison. This was my first 2-day event and to make the best impression, I hired my friend Jennifer Lindsley to update my branding. Jenny perfectly captured what I wanted in such a quick turnaround. (Thank you so much!!) This event was so well organized and I adored seeing the smiles and double takes of shoppers passing by. It was also lovely networking with fellow vendors and hearing stories and receiving feedback from my patrons. Here are my stats from the weekend: -33% of inventory sold, up 7% from average -Over 50% increase in sales compared to my average craft fair day -3 repeat shoppers -1 new wholesale lead Here’s what I’ve learned: -Don’t be afraid to take that big leap -Ask friends for help and collaborate -Your brand takes time, but once you gather the pieces you need, things look crazy professional -Staying up late the night before to paint that bunting was SO WORTH IT
Yesterday’s Pride Parade in MKE was an absolute blast! It was such a beautiful day full of community and freedom of expression. Our team, especially Martin Wesemann, created such a beautiful display. I love representing Kohler Co. and Kohler Energy as their PROUD BRG’s Community Engagement Co-chair this year and this event affirmed my commitment to our group’s mission. ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤 Happy #Pride everyone!

So much love and joy overflowing from the 2024 Milwaukee Pride Parade 🏳️🌈✨! Huge shoutout to Martin Wesemann's leadership and incredible handyman skills, which made it possible for Kohler Co. to roll out their very first pride float 🎉. Surrounded by bubbles and rainbows, our team tossed out Kohler Hospitality rubber duckies to the crowd 🛁! Immense gratitude to every member of KohlerPROUD and all the incredible individuals across the business who played pivotal roles in making this day an absolute success and a true source of inspiration. #Pride2024 #KohlerPROUD #MKEPride #PrideParade

I’m ecstatic to announce that I was recently elected as the Community Engagement co-chair for the Kohler PROUD Business Resource Group for 2024! My first coordinated event this year was a Milwaukee Bucks game last night. Despite the Bucks’ loss, we all had a great time watching the halftime show and connecting in person. It’s inspiring having a leadership role for a group I support, and I look forward to collaborating with more businesses and nonprofits this year to encourage a more equitable and empathetic space for Kohler Co. LGBTQIA+ employees and our local communities.

It’s been 7 months since I’ve moved from the Kohler area and revisiting this weekend was like I’d never left ♥️ We had a blast at the Kohler associate picnic. It was so nice to connect with new and old colleagues. Cheers to 150 years, Kohler! #kohler150 #kohlerproud #kohlerenergy
I debuted my bowl cozies at the Madison Makers Market on Saturday and the day was an absolute success, selling over 25% of my inventory! This was the first time I've gotten in-person, on-the-spot feedback of my products and based on the comments of people browsing, I'm hitting the mark on a whimsical, yet functional product. My craft is more than "just a hobby" and this market ingrained my passion for what I create. I look forward to participating in future maker events in Wisconsin. If you missed me, or are interested in snagging a bowl cozy for yourself or a loved one, you can find The Fool's Spool LLC on Etsy :) https://lnkd.in/gDcpw84J #smallbusiness #madisonmakersmarket #craftfair #etsyseller
