The photos are in and we are OBSESSED!!
We did two vibes in the same color palette.
Look one was a vibe - mixing eclectic boho, iridescent and rustic vibes.
Look two was more romantic and whimsical.
We can’t decide which we love more! 🤩

We are super excited for our Spring 2020 workshop, but we are ready for some connection and interaction with fellow vendors sooner than later.
—
—
Part of our community here involves helping the friendor to friendor relationship - to encourage the habits that start that vendor referral snowball effect - to be the vendor not only clients rave about, but fellow vendors rave about!
—
—
We are doing a pop-up Facebook group on September 14th for two weeks of FREE, candid and open vendor-to-vendor sharing.
We will be sharing anything and everything you want to ask us about.
Feel free to join us in sharing, or enjoy sitting back and learning.

You can’t keep doing the same things, workflows and systems and expect your results to change. It doesn’t mean you have to reinvent the wheel though. Sometimes talking to others in your field and seeing how they do things can help you adjust what may currently keeping you from meeting your goals. // Not only will you be hearing the perspectives of others in the industry so you can serve your fellow creatives well, but you will also be able to dive deep in the breakout groups and ask those tough questions you need answers or insight to.

“Successful people link up, they don’t squash each other.”
Lifting each other up and creating a community isn’t just a catchy phrase, it is truly a way of life. We are so excited to welcome all our attendees to our Forge + Refine family, and we look forward to lifting each other up not only at the summer 2020 workshop, but indefinitely. We want to help you grow as a company and as an individual. 🤍
—
—
We hope as you continue to grow and learn, that you continue to pass on the same community over competition way of life, helping lift the newcomers up alongside you. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel, and there’s plenty of events to go around.
Kindness. Always.
