Who we are

Every meaningful community begins with people.

At the beginning of 2022, Lily had just moved to Titusville—where she quickly noticed how rare recurring markets were—while Kelly had just welcomed a baby and entered a slower season of motherhood, one that allowed space for creativity to unfold naturally.

In September of 2022, the two met at a market hosted by Sunrise Bread Co. Kelly was there as a vendor, and Lily—new to town and actively seeking out local markets—stopped by. What began as a simple conversation quickly turned into something more. They bonded instantly over a shared love of anime, Studio Ghibli, and all things whimsical—the kind of magic that makes everyday life feel a little softer.

In May of 2023, at Rockledge Gardens’ Fairy Market, that connection deepened. Kelly was working the event and had completely forgotten to eat. Midway through the day, Lily arrived—wearing a giant mushroom hat, fully dressed for the fairy market—with hummus, snacks, and drinks in hand. Not just nourishment, but care. The kind that says, I see you.

After that, early coffee mornings became a ritual. Those quiet meet-ups became a grounding space—part friendship, part creative brainstorming, part gentle support system during a season of transition.

Over coffee, the same questions kept surfacing:
Why weren’t there more recurring markets?
Why wasn’t there a consistent space for artists, makers, and the community to gather again and again?

Eventually, the question turned into a decision.

Let’s start our own.

After another year of dreaming, planning, learning, and building, that idea came to life in November 2023 & the first market in May 2024 at Vine & Olive. What began as a chance meeting at a local market grew into something bigger—a shared vision rooted in creativity, care, and connection.

Today, the heart of it all remains the same: gratitude for the community that shows up, the friendships that grow alongside the work, and the relationships built with intention and love.

Because sometimes, the best things don’t start with a grand plan—
they start at a local market, with coffee, conversation, and a giant mushroom hat & fairy wings. 🍄✨🧚🏼
