June Joy!

Good Sunday morning Joy Creators and Joy Partners! (customers and wholesale stockists 💖)

Summer is here with it's sunshine and swimming pools, watermelon and cookouts, ballgames and late sunsets! I love it! Summer has always been my favorite season. My childhood memories of VBS, season passes to the pool, riding my bike for hours, church camp, a week a grandma's with the cousins so we could go to their VBS, eating corn on the cob and watermelon fresh from the garden and farmers wagon in the corner of their field - the best memories!

Now it's still all the yummy summer food, and of course Evansville Otters and St. Louis Cardinals baseball, but my favorite activities are popping up the canopy and setting up shelves of Alegria at farmer's markets, street fairs and even on the sidewalk downtown in front of Posh or at some of our other Joy-Partner stores. It's a time that blesses our artisans with their salaries while we await the fall season when gift shopping and fashion shopping picks back up on our website and in wholesale.

This season IS my favorite, but would you please pray for safety from weather, and for my health and stamina for the physical energy it takes? In my 50s that tent is just a little heavier and the heat is a little more draining. I love it though! 

And my 2nd request for prayer today is our June Joy Bundles campaign that started Friday. Please pray that our ad campaign converts to sales and that we can see a build of our online ordering and social media engagement again. I know not everyone is going out in the heat for street festivals, so there are still online shoppers that we want to show our Alegria artisan accessories to.

Thank you Joy-Creators and Joy-Partners for joining the story and for praying that others will too!
