So, my Farm Girl friend Tracy, with all of her wonderful Southern hospitality, gave a shout-out to her friend Chuck — and I just had to share! ❤️
Tracy, owner of Farm Girl Mercantile loves her Franklin community, and it shows in everything she does. We love Franklin too, but you all know how much we absolutely LOVE our own little City of Beech Grove. 🩷 That love for our communities is just one of the many things us sisters have in common!
Over the changing seasons, Tracy has graciously invited The Traveling Tea Room of Rustic Root to visit her beautiful shop in Franklin. She is truly a gem and such a wonderful supporter of other small businesses. 💎
Thank you, my friend, for always inspiring us and reminding us how much can happen when small businesses work together to lift up an entire community.
And Tracy’s post got our wheels turning…
🎉 ACTIVITY DIRECTORS — COME SPEND THE DAY IN BEECH GROVE! 🎉
