Fresh & Co. Studio

Today's feature isTrinita Rhodes! Trinita and I met at a The Women's Creative workshop series. We were both just starting our small business journeys. I saw her bright smile across the studio and sat right down, grateful for a friendly workshop buddy! We went on to host her launch party for and pop-up shops for her adorable children's clothing boutique Muff’n and me children’s boutique. It was an honor to watch Trinita's brave leap into entreprenuership. She inspired me to push past my insecurities and grow my business too! Not all journeys end up the way we plan, but the hard work and creativity we pour into them will always bring us positive things if we look for them. Trinita is a shining example of that for me. Thank you for all your friendship and support!

Today's gratitute feature is Party Hop These two beautiful gals are Ashley + Ashley! They are co-owners of Party Hop an event styling and rental company. We started collaborating right as Fresh & Co.

These two make balancing it all look easy! Party Hop offers custom party decor, specializing in gorgeous balloons arche...s and garlands. They also offer party boxes including everything you need for the perfect safer-at-home celebrations. And their festive holiday kits can help you decorate your home from Valentine's Day to Christmas!

Today's feature in the Fresh & Co. gratitude journey is The Women's Creative. When I first opened Fresh & Co. I dreamed of it becoming a place for creativity, community-building, and celebration. And it did! Much of the credit goes to this awesome organization for women in creative business. When I first met Megan and Christina, The Women's Creative was transitioning from The St. Louis Women's Pop Up Shop into what is now a powerful organization "dedicated to, inspired by ...and invested in the local female brand". I was so honored that Megan and Christina hosted their first series of workshops at Fresh & Co.! I have gained so much from attending TWC workshops, mingles, and markets and have met dozens of fellow creative entrepreneurs! I am also proud to be part of The Collective, their membership community which offers an inclusive, supportive network and a variety of resources for starting and growing a successful brand! https://thewomenscreative.com/about-the-collective Small businesses need our support more than ever! And The Women's Creative HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE makes it so easy and fun to shop local this year! Check it out! https://thewomenscreative.com/holidaygiftguide Thank you to Megan + Christina and all of the brave, brilliant women I have met thanks to The Women's Creative! See more

Today's feature in the Fresh & Co. gratitude journey is City House Country Mouse Meet Kate! This warm hearted, creative floral designer was one of the very first vendors to host a workshop at the studio! Her floral shop isn't far from the Grove and I reached out to her as a neighbor and fellow small business owner. I'm so very glad I did. We instantly hit it off! Kate is a talented florist with a passion for sustainability, a generous spirit and an awesome sense of humor! ...Her floral design style is relaxed, romantic, and vibrant! City House Country Mouse designs florals for events, weddings, holiday centerpieces and wreaths, and bouquets - just because! And she offers design workshops too! Order something special for your holiday table or a festive wreath for your front door and pick it up from her shop in The Hill with convenient curbside service! http://cityhousecountrymouse.com/ Thank you Kate for all the love, support, bouquets, laughs, friendship, and sandwiches! You're one of a kind! See more

More Fresh & Co. memories! This was one of our first big styled shoots in early 2019. These wonderful friendors were so willing and ready to jump right in with their time and expertise. And they helped make my bridal party suite dreams a reality. It was such a chill, but fun day! Fresh & Co. grew so quickly because of the many amazing people who believed in it and I am deeply grateful for all of that love, support, and friendship. Thank you! I can't wait until we can pick ...up where we left off. Growing, creating, and celebrating together! : Mena Darre Photography : Seed Sprout Spoon : Peach Blossoms : City House Country Mouse

Remembering this incredible day back in February when a group of the most amazing people gathered for @hillaryjevents Collaboration Celebration. It was a beautiful experience and one I know I'll never forget! All that creativity and friendship in one room! The wedding industry has been devastated by the current crisis, as so many have. But here in St. Louis it is a tightknit community full of smart and supportive entrepreneurs. And I am honored to be a part of it. I know tha...t these small business owners will use all their creativity and moxy to lift each other up and perservere together. Community over competition. I can't wait to celebrate when we make it through to the other side of this. Because we absolutely will. Until then, I love reliving the many times we were all together creating lasting friendships and memories! : @emilybroadbentphotography

Hey friends! It's been a rough few (or several) weeks, huh? And I know things won't be really back to normal anytime soon. But I've been thinking a lot about what our new normal might look like. I bet you have too. Sure, I get sad thinking about all the fun things we had planned that might not happen now or might be very different than we originally thought. It can be hard to let go of plans and dreams even when we know so much is completely out of our control. And yet, I a...lso get really happy thinking about what is next. The hope, creativity, and love I am witnessing in my neighbors and friends is so inspiring. I know we'll get through this together. I can't wait to open those studio doors again......slowly and carefully at first, of course. But eventually wide open to welcome you all back to create, gather, and share once again! I miss you all and look forward to seeing at the studio SOON! Photo: Fresh Art Photography

Hey friends!! We have a big announcment! Just before the public health crisis pressed pause on the world, we were meeting with a very special person about starting an internship at Fresh & Co. Despite all the changes and the studio closure we decided to move forward anyway! So without further ado...... Please join me in welcoming Tirzah Russell @tirzahzyell_ to the Fresh & Co. team! Tirzah is a recent college graduate who studied business administration here in St. Louis. He...r background in retail and customer service experience will pair nicely with her interest in event planning and venue management. Tirzah will bring her amazing energy, attention to detail, and impeccable style to Fresh & Co. for the next few months and we couldn't be happier! Wish we could celebrate and introduce her to all of you with an event in the studio. Sadly that is not possible right now, of course. So instead, I hope our amazing community of clients, vendors, and friends will give her a warm social media welcome! Welcome aboard, Tirzah! : @adm.photography
