A Saint's Southern Market

09/20/2026

FIRST OFF👏🏼::: I want to say, I am SO THANKFUL for my ASSM FRIENDS & FAMILY who came out this weekend to shop! You have know idea how much it meant to me. Even if it was just to say "hey, I wanted to check on you" 🩷🩷

P S A:: (Please Say it Ashley, We all know you are going to anyway....😂)

Buckle your seatbelts💺, ladies & gents:: I have tried to shorten this 4 times but, it's not working LOL!

📃PLEASE READ AND INITIAL that you UNDERSTAND below!! I am trying to be as nice and professional as possible, but I have to admit, I am a little upset....

🩷 SQUISHES ARE IN FULL FORCE && TBH, THEY ARE GETTING RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE EVEN ON THE WHOLESALE SIDE OF IT.🩷

I LOVE that our squishes are so much fun to shop for and enjoy for ALL ages! However, to keep them clean, sealed, and in sellable condition for everyone, we have a few very important rules:

1. 🚫 PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE, DO NOT OPEN THE BOXES, BREAK THE SEALS, OR TOUCH/PLAY WITH THE SQUISHIES.

💰YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PURCHASING THAT ITEM

--This applies to ⚠️KIDS AND ADULTS⚠️. If you do not intend to purchase the item, please leave it ALONE.

2. Once a squishy’s seal has been broken, the bag has been popped, or the packaging has been opened/damaged,

💰YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PURCHASING THAT ITEM!!

It is very hard for me to explain to another customer that the product is "new" but it's "been messed with", in the same sentence.. and that is not $$ that I can afford to let go down the drain. So, please use your common sense and don't mess with it if you don't want to take it home with you!

I promise—I’d much rather help you pick out the perfect squishy-- seriously, ask away!! I am MORE than happy to help, rather than have to awkwardly explain this rule. 'Cause if y'all know me, ill make it awkward 🙃😅🩷

⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ ALL SQUISHY SALES ARE FINAL ⚠️⚠️ ⚠️

NO REFUNDS • NO EXCHANGES • NO RETURNS•

Once you have paid for a squishy Saint’s Southern Market, in person, online, or otherwise, the sale is FINAL. No refunds, exchanges, or returns will be accepted after the item(s) have been paid for. I do not know what happens from the time you get it home, in the days, or weeks that it's been used to know if it was an actual "defect" or someone was too rough with it.

This is why I try my VERY BEST to make sure my prices are reasonable, my vendors are TRUSTWORTHY. I cannot replace each and everyone that pops. They are NOT indestructible. I wish I had the capital that the big box stores have, because I'd be more than happy too... but I don't..

To be VERY clear, I normally have ZERO ISSUES-- however some issues have come up in the past few months and the customers (ADULTS) have been VERY UNKIND. So, that makes this post NECESSARY.

I also want to be transparent, as always: occasionally, a squishy may have a manufacturing defect that isn’t visible until the packaging is opened. Unfortunately, manufacturing defects are OUTSIDE of A Saint’s Southern Market’s control and do not reflect a defect caused by the shop. To reiterate, there are no refunds/exchanges/returns.

If you are NOT okay with that, I completely understand, we all work had for every dollar we have and 9/10 I WILL do what I can to help remedy the situation.

But, having a few encounters with some ill-advised ADULTS just marching back to my booth or my shop and "assuming" I will refund the squishy will NOT be tolerated. PERIOD.

Crazy things happen, kids are rough on EVERYTHING. I get it. I am also a parent.. There are A MILLION other ways to handle that type of situation than to "assume" I'll make it right, because if that is the vibe I am getting-- it most certainly will NOT happen.

I called in a favor 2 days ago, because I am drowning, in every aspect of my life, it seems like. THE LAST THING I, OR ANYONE, FOR THAT FACT NEEDS RIGHT NOW, IS A RUDE CUSTOMER mad about a SQUISHY....

My Kids and I almost lost our LIVES last week due to a reckless semi-driver......

All I am asking is for some grace, and a little kindness goes a long way.

I am ILL that I have to even make this post.. && 99% of you, that know me, understand where I am coming from- business owner or not..

I will always and have always bent over backwards for my customers. The attitudes and rudeness stops at the door and I WILL ask you to leave. I let a lot slide, I hear EVERYTHING, but accountability goes BOTH WAYS.

Most business owners would NOT post in this manner, Ill probably loose followers over this too. But, if that is the case-- then maybe I am not right for you-- and that is OKAY! No hard feelings.

I love you ALL.. I am hurting, My family is hurting right now, and We are ALL trying to survive.

Squishes are fun, they are enjoyable, BUT they are NOT worth getting into a pickle about......

‼‼Remember when I JUST posted a week ago about a semi almost RUNNING US OVER-- ALMOST KILLING MY KIDS AND I..... put yourself in MY shoes and then decide if your ill- attitude over a squishy, is worth it...

99% of this doesn't apply to most of my customers.. y'all know.. but, I have to say it, unfortunately and I am sorry to have to..

Thank you for understanding and helping me keep the inventory clean, intact, and ready for the next squishy lover! 🥰

I LOVE being able to be a "squishy dealer", please don't ruin it for all the others who love it too!!

LOOK • CHOOSE • PURCHASE — THEN SQUEEZE THAT SQUISHY! 😂🩷 (Enjoy the video of my kiddos opening up the MASSIVE/BIG AS MY HEAD/JUMBO SQUISHY for some cute smiles)

‼️Hey you🫵🏼, yes, YOU‼️
I NEED YOUR HELP, PLEASE

I’m about to be 🛑extremely vulnerable🛑 right now, please bear with me. 😔

A week ago today, a semi driver, who wasn’t paying attention, slammed into my kids & I as we were sitting still, waiting to turn into our neighborhood. I still have PTSD from getting in a car much less having to drive. I have a pretty severe concussion. Simple tasks are confusing. My head hurts constantly. I can’t think straight.

My jeep is destroyed. So, have no vehicle. My husband is only one person and doing everything he can to keep us going, but I can’t “Recover” with all the bills hanging over our heads.

I am EXTREMELY thankful God was there to give us another day— had the driver looked up 1.. second.. later.., someone would be planning 3 funerals right now….

That being said, being a small business owner, bills don’t care if I am hurt or not... it’s just me, myself, & I.
&& I. Am. Drowning. It makes me SICK to even post this. I’ve cried more this week then in a long time. My eyes burn. I’m frustrated. I’m exhausted to where my bones hurt. I’m mad at how hard life is- and how much harder it just got.

I know I’m not alone. I know other SBOs are out there doing everything they can to survive. The odds are impossible. I feel like I am failing in every part of my life right now. 🫶🏻

📸The photo below👇🏼 is RAW. It’s gross, NO FILTERS, bags under my eyes from tears of sadness and prayers. Confused and dazed from a concussion I didn’t ask for- concerned, because I’m not sure where to go from here…..

&& those boxes I’m sitting around…. 🫣👀 that’s what 3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ P O U N D S of ✨NEW, NEVER BEFORE SEEN 〰️SQUISHIES〰️LOOKS LIKE 🫣👀✨

Hey Saint Shoppers/Family🩷

I need to update y’all on os thing that happened this week. I’m not ignoring in messages- I’m slowly getting back on my feet…

‼️‼️Please feel free to share ‼️‼️

I have debated on posting about what happened Thursday afternoon..

I’ve had so many people reach out and I think this would be easier.

Thursday, September 10th, I picked up my boys from school and we were headed home like a normal day.

I stopped in the road on US60 to turn left as there was multiple oncoming cars which enabled me not to turn. My turn signal is on Derrick even pressure washed my jeep so it was nice and clean.

Before I knew it, I smelled smoke, heard tires squealing, and I looked in the rearview mirror and saw the grill of a semi truck headed straight for us.

The only thing I could say was “boys, hold on”..,

My life flash before my eyes, and I thought the three of us were going die.

The semi driver was not paying attention. There were no vehicles between the semi and our vehicle. He had an open area of around 1500 feet to stop.. and didn’t until it was too late.

The semi clipped the back passenger side of my car and I thought we were OK, until the trailer swung after and slammed into us.

It busted out the all back windows. The rear axle of the Jeep was broke in half. And that trailer spun us 180degrees around into oncoming traffic.

I was stunned.

Carson and Grayson were crying and screaming in the backseat.

I tried to find my phone. I tried to call Derrick. I felt like my words were very slurry..

My Dr Pepper- the liquid itself- flew out of my can- all over the passenger seat

My sunglasses flew off of my head into the passenger floorboard.

About 45 minutes later as we were cleaning out my car before the wrecker arrived, I found a claw clip that was broke in the backseat, I then realized that was actually in my hair during the crash- it was mangled and broken half.

Grayson is hesitant in getting into a vehicle because he’s scared “he doesn’t wanna get hurt”

Carson has a knott on the side of his head from hitting it against the window…

I was diagnosed with a pretty severe concussion. Light sounds and smells bother me. I feel worthless. I’ve got so much to do. 😔😭

🫣🫡 3 0 0 POUNDS 🫡🫣 of squishies were delivered that day….
Whatnot shows are cancelled until further notice…

How we walked away from this wreck I don’t know. I guess it just wasn’t our time.

Had the semi driver looked up one second later there’s no doubt in my mind. The three of us would be dead.

My jeep is destroyed.

I know you can replace a car and you can’t replace the people inside. But, that’s the vehicle that I brought both of my babies home from the hospital in. Sentimental or not I’m still processing everything.

The screeching of the tires.
The smell of the burnt rubber.
The metal on metal between his semi, and my jeep in the windows crashing is something I will never forget.

It keeps replaying in my head and I’m sick of it.

I’ve prayed 100x over thanking God for sparing our lives.

I am choosing to not post pictures, because it’s horrific and I honestly don’t want to see any more of it.

I pray for the truck driver, for whatever reason it was that he wasn’t able to pay attention- I pray that he is OK and then he learns to focus a little bit more on the road.

My grammar passed away in April of this year, and I have no doubt that she is the one that had her wings wrapped around our car to save us.

My village came running. I called Derrick Saint and told him what happened. I think he blacked out and was able to get to us in 4 minutes, which normally would’ve been around a 15 minute drive. My parents Tony Sparks and Anna Sparks heard the Life360 crash detection alert and ran. My best friend Demi Wooldridge & my neighborhood family friend Damon Hagan came running.

I had 2 extremely helpful by standards who stayed the entire time to help direct traffic, talk with the officers on the scene, check on us- everything.

I know we are extremely lucky and thankful it wasn’t worse.. but all due respect if that’s the comment you want to put please keep scrolling.

Even though we were not bleeding, we did not need the jaws of life to get us out. The accident still occurred, and it was still extremely traumatic especially for my boys.

Thank you GOD for keeping us safe. For allowing us to spread your word more each day. We love you and can’t thank you enough for letting us know it want our time! 🫶🏻

I’ll be back at it- I love my Saint shoppers. Thank you for never leaving me. Yall deserve the world! 🩷💚🩵
