March 27th marks one of my favorite memories yet. With love, Lank had the opportunity to set up shop at a vendor fair on Samford's campus. With over 100 items displayed, over half sold! The support was abundant as sweet friends stopped by to browse and buy. Friends and family remain the bloodline of this brand, so I am so thankful to have seen the with love community in person.
My mom dedicated her whole day (and many before) to travel and assist with the sale. I wholeheartedly can say that I could not have done it without her. And my dad showed such loving support through building the coolest wood and pipe racks for clothing. He helped create a unique, one of a kind set up that would not have been the same without his craftsmanship. I am so fortunate to have such supportive parents who eagerly help in building my brand. I love you both very much!!
I can't conclude just yet without mentioning the remarkable help from Katie Jane and Alex. They both came through and supported me throughout the whole process. Katie Jane so willingly painted the beautiful banner for the stand as well as stayed until the end to help break down. She and Alex packaged just about every order and managed payments as I scrambled around the stand. I don't know what I did to deserve their friendship, but I am so grateful for them!
And finally, I appreciate each and every one of you who came out to support. Seeing your faces absolutely made my day. Although I was a little stressed and all over the place, each friend's loving smile or hug reminded me of the reason why I do this -- With love, Lank is one of the ways I am striving to love those around me. You all displayed such love and support in return, and I'm so appreciative of that!
Can't wait for the next pop up or fair... I'll be sure to update on our instagram @withlovelank when the next event will be!
With love,
Lank
