A Look Inside The GR Holiday Sip & Shop 2021
On December 9th, 2021, we hosted our first ever Grand Rapids Holiday Sip & Shop. It was everything I hoped the event would be and I am grateful to all the makers, creatives, artisans, and Treetops Collective that made the night extra special. There were vendors offering jewelry, crochet goods, fresh holiday wreaths, home décor and more that brought out the holiday spirit in us all.
Twenty-two local small businesses set up shop inside The Lit, a historic and charming event space in downtown Grand Rapids. The businesses included:
Brower’s Flowers Brush & Bark Color Feel Color Forest
Egg Carton Crafts Hanoverian Crochet Co.
Huron and Mill Candle Co InBooze Jenny + Co
Jill Dykhouse Art Karel Creates Liv Lyszyk
Loops & Tassels Michigan Made Mandy One Stitch Away
Raw Oats Slow Soul Studio Solstice Clay Sunset Succulents
The French Confection Tiny Tus Wonderfully Made by E
Yet, the night would not have been the same without further benefiting the local community. The mission of the Grand Rapids Holiday Sip & Shop drives giving to a local non-profit. This year, we collaborated with a local non-profit organization that works with New American women in the Grand Rapids area called Treetops Collective. Treetops is focused on connecting with and investing in New American women, inspiring their leadership, and transforming the Grand Rapids community. Proceeds from ticket sales and the cash bar all went directly to Treetops!
