Small pouch or large pouch—which one fits your day?

The Mini Donuts zipper pouch comes in two sizes, so you can choose the one that works best for how you actually use it. The small size is great for keys, chapstick, pens, and other everyday essentials, while the large size gives you room for sunglasses, a wallet, a small journal, and travel basics.

Same fair favorite. Two different kinds of carry.

Choose your size—or Build Your Own Collection from the Tri-County Sweet Shop.

There are some things you expect to find every year at the Tri-County Fairgrounds.

Fresh mini donuts. Lemon shake-ups. Cotton candy. Circus peanuts. Salt water taffy.

The Fairgrounds Mercantile has gathered five of the midway's sweetest traditions into a collection of officially issued zipper pouches—each designed to feel like something you might have picked up on your way home from a day at the fair.

Whether they're carrying pens, receipts, travel essentials, or everyday odds and ends, they're a small reminder that fair season never really has to end.

Which one would you bring home first?

I have a theory.

Everyone deserves a journal that gets them.

Not one that tries to be everything for everyone—but one that feels like it was made with your interests in mind.

The hiker.

The curious observer.

The home baker.

The theatre lover.

The movie buff.

That's why each journal I design belongs to its own destination. They aren't just different covers—they each have their own personality, artwork, interior pages, and story.

Because the right journal doesn't just hold your thoughts.

It makes you excited to fill the next page.

So tell me—which one feels like it was made for you?

This stack represents months of ideas that somehow became real.

One started as a national recreation area. Another became a mysterious government department. Then came a community Shakespeare festival, an old movie theater, and a county fair recipe collection.

I love creating things that feel like they've been discovered instead of designed—objects that hint at histories, traditions, and places that invite you to imagine the rest of the story.

Thanks for following along as That's So Kitsch continues to grow. There are plenty more destinations, journals, and curious little worlds still waiting to be made.

If you had to take one of these home, which would it be?

There are places that quietly leave their mark long after you've gone home.

Blackwater Ridge is one of them.

Its gift shop is filled with the kinds of things visitors tuck into their bags before heading back down the trail—a field journal for future walks, a canvas tote that carries the day's discoveries, and a Raven Watch shirt commemorating one of the recreation area's favorite autumn traditions.

Not souvenirs.

Just small reminders of a place worth returning to.

Choose your adventure.

Everything I create starts the same way—with a place, a tradition, or an artifact that feels like it should have always existed.

From there, the story simply takes a different form.

I thought it might be time to introduce the person behind all of the strange little places that keep showing up here.

Hi—I'm Heather.

I'm the designer behind That's So Kitsch, and I spend an unreasonable amount of time thinking about things like county fair traditions, forgotten organizations, museum gift shops, vintage typography, and whether a shirt feels like something someone would have proudly worn home thirty years ago.

Every design starts as a place, a tradition, or an artifact before it ever becomes a T-shirt.

I love creating things that make people stop and wonder,

"Wait... was this actually real?"

If you've recently found your way here, I'm so glad you did. Thanks for following along while I build this wonderfully curious little world.
