we decided that it's time to sell our beloved pop-up camper, Jo! 🥹 we have traveled with this girl across the country and are so grateful for all the adventures she's brought us.

being a vintage girlie, Jo is a PROJECT and we just don't have the time to give her the love she deserves. we are excited that she's going to someone in The Bright Spot family and will live her next life with someone who will give her some TLC so she's ready for her next chapter ❤️

there always seems to be something cute to do in McConnelsville! we checked out heritage days this weekend and had a life-changing apple c***r slushie, got a cute sweatshirt from a local vendor, and heard a local band. it was a gorgeous fall day!
