[Recap] Hops & Shops October Market

October’s Hops & Shops felt like pure chaos in the best way — packed crowd, killer weather, and enough caffeine to power a small city. The energy was wild from setup to teardown, and our booth somehow managed to survive it all.

Highlights?
🖤 Vendors showing up in full fall-core glory.
🖤 The playlist giving “Halloween party meets dive bar.”
🖤 Customers snagging fresh sticker drops before noon.

We met so many new faces (and plenty of familiar ones), and seeing people stop mid-walk to laugh at our tags and magnets never gets old. Markets like this remind me why I do it — the community, the chaos, and the creative adrenaline rush that comes from being surrounded by weird, talented people.

Next stop: more caffeine, new product drops, and maybe sleep if the universe allows it.
