In this episode of Hey Julie by Moss Bags, Julie sits down with Teresa Remple, textile artist and founder of Texture Clothing - a brand she officially launched in 2001 after years of selling at festivals and markets.

Teresa shares what it looked like to build a clothing business through farmers markets, wholesale, festivals, and even a brick-and-mortar shop, and how that journey has evolved into the small-batch and custom work she focuses on today. This conversation is full of wisdom about longevity, following your own rhythm, and creating products that carry care, intention, and real heart.

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to build a business over decades instead of just seasons, this episode is such a beautiful reminder that meaningful growth doesn’t have to be fast or flashy.

In this episode, we cover:

• How Texture Clothing began and the early festival years
• What Teresa learned from 16 years at the farmers market
• The role of wholesale in growing a product-based business
• Why slow transitions are still valid transitions
• How she shifted from large-scale production to small-batch and custom work
• The emotional value of handmade products and personal connection
• Why follow through matters so much in business
• Getting clear on what’s really written on your heart

Favorite quote:
“May you feel wrapped in love every time you wear this thing.”

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Nicole of Headwaters Farm for a conversation about family legacy, flower farming, motherhood, and building a business season by season.

Nicole shares how growing up around her dad’s flower shop shaped her love of flowers, what the early years of building her farm business looked like, and how she found her way through pop-ups, wholesale, and community collaboration. We also talk about consistency, raising kids while growing a business, and the beauty of creating something that truly aligns with your life.

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to build something meaningful slowly and with intention, this conversation is for you.

If you’re getting ready for your first market, event or pop-up, there are so many little things no one really tells you until you learn them the hard way.

Not just what to pack, but how to set up a booth that actually works. How to make it easy for people to shop. How to think beyond the sales you make that day. And how to prepare for all the little things that can go wrong - from weather to payment issues to forgetting the basics like food, water, or signage.

In this episode, I’m sharing what years of markets and events have taught me about preparing well, creating a booth that feels clear and inviting, and making the most of in-person opportunities - especially if you’re new to pop-ups.

Because a successful market booth is not just one that looks good. It’s one that helps people buy, remember your business, and come back later.

If you’ve ever wondered what actually matters when preparing for an event, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I talk about:

• what to bring to a market or pop-up
• why booth setup matters more than you think
• signage, business cards, and marketing materials
• how to collect emails and grow your list at events
• preparing for selling out or having slower sales
• practical tips that make event days easier
