Purlicue Pinch Featured in the Desoto Times Tribune

I’m so honored to share that Purlicue Pinch and my hat booth were recently featured in the Desoto Times Tribune! 🎉

The article highlights the vibrant community at Snowden Vendor Market — a place that has quickly become a hub for local makers, small businesses, and shoppers who love unique finds. I’m proud to be one of the 40 vendors who call it home.

Since opening Purlicue Pinch in 2023, I’ve poured my heart into designing and handcrafting one-of-a-kind hats. Each piece begins with a blank base and comes to life through custom burns, engravings, and adornments pulled from nature and vintage treasures. The article also shares my love for weaving antique pieces into my designs and even touches on hats I’ve created for musicians like Grammy-nominated Sharde’ Thomas.

Being part of Snowden Vendor Market has not only given me a space to share my work, but also a community that uplifts small businesses and encourages us to grow beyond the market itself.

While there is no direct link available to read the article, hopefully the image in this post is clear enough for you to read! Enjoy!

✨ Thank you to the Desoto Times Tribune for the feature, and thank YOU for supporting local makers like me.
