On June 26, 2026, Living Full Company hosted our very first pop-up market in Gallup, New Mexico—my hometown. Our family packed up the car and traveled back to the place that first taught me the value of community, hospitality, and home. It felt like the perfect place to share the heart behind Living Full Company.

We were honored to partner with Camille’s Sidewalk Cafe, whose fresh salads, sandwiches, smoothies, desserts, and welcoming atmosphere made it the perfect setting for an evening of gathering and connection.

Although our event wasn’t held on a Saturday or the first of the month, we were blessed to welcome a wonderful group of visitors. Friends, family, longtime supporters, and many first-time Living Full Company customers stopped by to browse, visit, and shop. Every conversation reminded us why we started this journey.

Our tables were filled with handcrafted kitchen and home goods, pantry favorites, loose-leaf teas, granola, candles, hand-sewn bowl cozies and coasters, beautiful serving pieces, and thoughtfully curated gifts. The room sprays, homemade jams, and our slow-cooked 8-hour apple butter quickly became customer favorites.

One of the greatest joys was watching each purchase leave with a smile. Friends enjoyed a girls’ night out while searching for housewarming gifts. Hardworking moms found something special to bring home to their families. One of my favorite moments was seeing my former high school teacher, who had recently retired, celebrate this new season of life by taking home a wonderful collection of Living Full Company products. Those moments reminded me that what we’re building is about far more than selling products—it’s about creating meaningful moments.

There was a genuine excitement throughout the evening. We met so many new faces, received encouraging feedback, and heard countless requests to come back again—some even hoping we’d return the very next day! Because we were traveling, our time was limited, but we certainly hope this won’t be our last visit to Gallup.

To make the evening even more memorable, the first 30 customers received a complimentary Camille’s cookie and were entered into our giveaway featuring a Living Full Company gift basket valued at $75, along with a $20 Camille’s Sidewalk Cafe gift card. Celebrating one of our customers in this way was the perfect ending to a wonderful evening.

As we packed up after those three hours together, our hearts were incredibly full. This market represented an important milestone for our small business. It reminded us that there is something deeply meaningful about gathering around home, food, family, and community.

To everyone who came out to support us, followed us on social media, shared kind words, or simply stopped by to say hello—thank you. Your encouragement means more than you know.

We are grateful for the opportunity to continue sharing our mission: celebrating home, family, and culture through handcrafted goods, culinary creations, and meaningful gatherings. We believe the smallest gestures—a homemade meal, a thoughtful gift, or something handcrafted with care—have the power to make a house feel like home.

Gallup, thank you for welcoming us with open arms. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

With gratitude,

Dr. Lisa Brown
