A little gratitude post.
Sometimes I have to stop and really take in how much has changed in just one year.
What started as a little hobby in my basement has grown into something bigger than I ever imagined. And when I say small business, I mean SMALL business — it is truly just me. Every order, every design, every shirt pressed, every message answered, every order sorted and packed…me.
These pictures are just what is going out the door THIS WEEK. And on top of all of this, over $1,000 was raised for three local school groups this week alone. That might be the part I’m most proud of.
I’m so incredibly thankful for every school, team, business, organization and family that has trusted Roots & Rival. I’m also so grateful for your patience and grace during the crazy weeks when I’m juggling hundreds of pieces and trying my hardest to get everything out the door.
Thank you for every order, share, referral, opportunity — and especially your patience as I continue to grow. I truly don’t take any of it for granted.
Community over competition. Always. 🖤
