OUR STORY....
A little of the beginning, some of the middle, and no where near the end...
Roads, maps, tires whirring on pavement, gas stations, books on tape, fast food- this is our life, we are modern day gypsies. The past 25 years have been filled with laughter, new places, new faces, friendships to last a lifetime, and problems even Albert Einstein would have a difficult time solving from blown out tires and ripped off fenders, to digging for change under the car seats, to bouts of food poisoning and etc 1,000 times over. Festivals to fairs, farmers markets to expos, even to the extreme of sheep herding events down a main street in the middle of no where, then theres the sun and sand sculpting celebrations to western rodeos and on to demo derbys, motor cross racing and the classic rough and tough motorcycle rally. Basically you can count on the fact that we have been there and done that within a 3,000 mile radius of our direct location. If you haven't guessed by now, which most normal individuals never would, we represent the self employed working class of america. Now i'm not attempting to speak for everyone that falls within this category but we live an extremely rich life on a paupers budget. We have always viewed life as an ongoing adventure even the kind you don't seek out, want, or would rather just pass on in general. Sometimes the best memories have evolved from the most embarrassing and difficult times, years later we find it easier to laugh at these scenarios when in the moment we really just want to cry or throw something. We are professional vendors, and let me tell you this honor is quite the feat, we really should have a doctorate, a travel guide certification, and be licensed therapists. Enough with the self appreciation though and onto the material products. We bring an eclectic blend of merchandise to our customers stretched out across the country, ranging from top quality sunglasses to boho chic clothing and even home decor and at this very moment we are working on two other extensive lines for our business. We are foodies, even though that word is slightly annoying and overused, we cant resist a good coffee shop, a creamery, a fresh seafood market on the coast, or for that matter anything indicative of a region. I love New Orleans beignets and zydeco the same as I love Oregon's cranberries and hazelnuts. Learning and discovering is a privilege that we have been able to be a part of thanks to our line of work. We always support local businesses whenever we can in our travels and are always on the hunt for organic or fresh products. Nature, the environment, and animals are HUGE parts of our daily lives. We have cats and a goldfish, and we are proud to say they are all rescues. Truth is we are the true rescues, they bring humor and love into every minute of our lives. We inhale and exhale pure molecules of nature on our travels, elements of mother nature are mysterious and powerful. We camp almost every night in a tent and wear the soles of our hiking boots off throughout the year no matter where we are on the map. Along with battling these same elements at our booth every weekend! Each and every place has something special to offer and we are dead set on finding and experiencing it. We recycle what we can and just make small adjustments in our lives to have less of an impact on our environment. The outdoors is good for your body and for your soul.
We have been working hard to bring each and every one of you the latest and greatest in the industry. Don't panic our travels have not come to an end, if anything this is just the beginning, we are thrilled and look forward to our new chapter in our family novel and hope to share our stories with you, the good the bad and yes even the ugly! We can learn from one another through these epic adventures even if your epic getaway is a good book or wearing one of our fabulous pieces, we really do want to know. We operate, literally eat, sleep, and breath, the slogan family is everything - this single three syllable word anchors our souls to one another, allows our minds to breath, guarantees a fight or two, and yet simultaneously gives us the courage to continue our journey and accomplish our dreams. "Family is not an important thing. It's everything." Michael J. Fox
Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, and sometimes in the middle of nowhere you find yourself.
