Whether you’ve been here for a year or since yesterday, I thought it might be time for a little re-introduction to our family, our life, and our crazy.
I’ll tell you…A year ago at this time we didn’t have a clue that 2,500 square feet in our schoolhouse basement would be filled with vintage vendors who would become some of my very best friends. In the process of collaborating + lifting fellow small business owners, we’ve found something so special about this basement space when it’s full and loud and thriving with shop owners and guests.
So here we were, over a year ago, in our cozy + beloved old living room. We had plans for guest suites and small event space but just had no idea the wonderful sideways spiral things would take as interest in the basement (of all places!) popped up.
We still actively run together, honestly that’s what we would call our main gig…though hiring efforts have resulted in a bigger + better team in 2025, miraculously giving Josh time to manage BLC operations + seamlessly enter his new role of schoolhouse maintenance boss. We quickly learned, this is a full-time position on its own.
Our boys are now about to enter kindergarten and fourth grade, so between running multiple businesses we’re also shuttling them to soccer and tutoring and most evenings you can find all of us ripping around the Milford township on our UTV.
Since moving last July we’ve added kittens, 20 chickens, two ducks, and a PUPPY. We’ve hosted weddings and parties, showers and youth retreats…even a preschool Christmas program!
Life isn’t as simple as it was in this photo, it’s fuller and busier and louder but we’re loving it. Come see what we’re up to this weekend, Friday + Saturday, 9-2 both days!
