Three days, three states, two markets, and our first ever SD market in the books 🚙
Sometimes I have to stop and remind myself that this is real life. Haley and I had some long days, but they were such good ones. We stayed in the coziest little Airbnb, shared brownie batter ice cream every night, and had time to slow down after the markets. It was exactly what we needed after those busy days. Huge shoutout to our host for creating such a cozy place 🪴
I’m also incredibly thankful for my team. Haley joined me on this trip, but both she and Cloey have become such an extension of Ideal Thrifts. One of my biggest goals has always been to build a business where, whether it’s Haley, Cloey, or me helping you, it still feels like Ideal Thrifts.
Now we’re back home and keeping things a little more local for a while. Battle Lake, Detroit Lakes, and Fargo we’ll see you all next week! Prepare to be sick of me 🤪
As much as I love that this business lets me travel and experience new places, there really is nothing like coming home. These little lake towns, familiar faces, and this community will always have a special place in my heart. Thanks for following along and cheering us on wherever this dream takes us - Emily 🤍
