Getting two of the busiest Sarahs together was a year in the making.  But, we made it happen!

Join in the conversation with Sarah Frost of Making Local Markets - a carefully curated vendor market that takes place 4x each year in Bothell, Washington in the spring, summer, and fall.  Sarah knows that she's not in the farmers market business just like I'm not in the high-end vendor event business, but our jobs have a LOT in common. 

In this episode, we talk about vendor tips, strategy, frustrations, customer quirks, and all of the things in between. 

You can find Sarah on several channels linked below:

Included: Britney Spears update !!! 🌷💩 !!! Someone, please get her a 2015 iPhone Pro Max. Emily notes that Cricut machines are for personal crafts, not for starting a business. Samie learns that Larry Bird is not running for Everett Mayor, and who the frontrunner is for Washington State Governor. They share the f***** up laws and confusion in Arizona, and about the idiots in Idaho who think babies can get pregnant. 

They lament “Neutral A** B******” and are so cheugy they don’t realize we’re being made fun of as they talk about the meaning of cheugy. 

And they share their excitement for shows like Bridgerton and Outlander, which are dropping new episodes - and about the books, shows, movies, and podcasts they're reading, watching, and listening to that you should check out, too! There are no spoilers because the summaries, while delightful, will leave you guessing 😉! Enjoy the bleeps!
