Then… and now. 🥹

Apparently I’m feeling nostalgic today! This was our space before it became OURS.

We moved into this location in January 2025, and we could see the potential, it still felt like a blank canvas waiting to figure out what it wanted to be… And then the Makers began arriving!

As makers moved in, this blank canvas began to take shape into Locale.
It wasn’t the walls or fixtures, but the incredible people who filled it with their creativity, their businesses, their stories & their awesome products.

They brought this place to life!

Looking back at this photo feels a little surreal, and a lot humbling. Because I know how much work, faith, risk and heart has gone into getting here.

When I look around Locale today, I don’t just see a shop. I see people. I see small businesses growing.
I see creativity everywhere I look.
I see Makers cheering each other on.
I see a community that has become something so much bigger than I ever could have imagined. That’s my favorite part.

We didn’t just move into this space. We made it ours.

And our Makers made it AWESOME!

I’m so incredibly grateful for how far we’ve come. I’m thankful for every single person who has helped make Locale what it is today.

Here’s to the memories we’ve already made… and all the ones still waiting for us. 🥂

☀️ 🌘 🍃🍁🍂 🧡

🍂✨Happy Fall Equinox✨🍂

Today we arrive at a beautiful point of balance… equal light & darkness, a gentle reminder that both are necessary parts of the journey. Fall is my favorite season.

The trees don’t resist the changing season. They simply release what they no longer need & trust that something new will come in its own time.

Perhaps the Equinox offers us the same invitation:
to pause, breathe, honor where we are, and to gently let go of what we’ve outgrown.

May this season bring you grounding, reflection, release, and a little more space for what is meant to find you.🙏🏼

Happy Fall, beautiful souls!

✨New Maker✨Terri, with A.M. Concrete Designs

I’ve always dreamed of having a side hustle and in 2024 I debuted my talent to the world and A.M. Concrete Designs was established. I’m naturally a creative person and I knew I wanted to create high-end looking pieces without the price tag to match. I love working with concrete, the way it’s so forgiving and how each piece of decor has its own unique look and feel, truly making the piece one of a kind.

My Give Back Story.
I lost my sister to a very aggressive cancer and I wanted to do something that would keep the memory of her alive so a portion of my profits are donated to a local Minnesota organization that sends out gas gift cards to people who are going through cancer treatment. This organization holds a special place in my heart because they sent my family a gas card when my sister was going through treatment and that unexpected kind gesture is one I will never forget and every donation I send them honors my sister and helps other families who are dealing with a cancer diagnosis.

I hope you find my collections unique and that they bring a new sense of style into your space. I love what I create and I’m excited to share my work with you.

EEEEEK… IT’S OFFICIAL! 🤗

We’ve been working behind the scenes to iron out all the details, and we are SO excited to share that Medium Thomas John ✨The Seatbelt Psychic✨ is coming BACK to Locale!!

After 2 incredibly special evenings together, Thomas will return to Stillwater on February 27, 2027, for another intimate evening of connection, messages from Spirit & Loved Ones, and the kind of moments that stay with you long after the evening is over.

There will also be opportunities for Spirit Circle, individual readings, and a VIP experience with Q&A and book signing.

If you’ve joined us for Thomas before, you already know how magical these evenings can be.

And if you haven’t… perhaps this is your sign.

We can’t wait to welcome Thomas back home to Locale ♥️
