GRACE is the one word that keeps popping in my thoughts when I think about The Jones Market. it's been nearly three years since I took over creating for TJM--and to be honest, I have very little to show for it.

running three retail shops was priority when I first started working on TJM. when I decided to close the shops, I had used every ounce of my being trying to keep the shops afloat--leaving nothing left, let alone creativity, for TJM.

towards the end of 2025, I felt ready to start back into small, creative business life but I really wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I started painting and creating, researching, looking for inspiration...

two weeks ago, I started to delete all of TJM's old photos on Instagram (because I thought I needed a fresh start) and something made me stop. I went back and 'restored' 2,026 photos--which literally took me almost ten days.

and then I went downstairs to my workshop and created this week's drop.

one thing I learned during that manic fury: I need to stop trying to make TJM something it isn't and come back to the OG.

thank you for your grace. I'm so glad you're here!
