We are so excited to help debut a pair of newer local artists, Marie Collective! They will be joining us this weekend for the Back Roads Junk-it Trail!

Their talent includes the art of hand sketching, and completing with beautiful watercolors. I personally already own a few of their pieces. 🥰

Their story:

What started as two mom-friends creating together in their kitchens has grown into Marie Collective — a traveling creative business designed to bring women together through art, connection, and shared experiences. While watercolor is at the heart of much of what we do, we believe there is no limit to what can be created when like-minded, supportive women come together.

Come & check out their gorgeous products!
