Three years ago, The Sugar Connection was just a dream. Friday, that dream was surrounded by the most incredible community, and I truly don’t have the words to express how grateful I am. Thank you to every single person who came out to celebrate our 3rd anniversary with us. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or attended your very first class, your support is the reason we’re here. Seeing so many smiling faces, new friendships, and unforgettable memories being made reminded me exactly why I started this business.

A huge thank you to our amazing vendors and sponsors who poured so much love into this event. Your talent, generosity, and belief in my vision helped create such a magical evening, and I couldn’t have done it without you. Every detail, every experience, and every special touch was because of all of you.
To my family, friends, and everyone who has supported The Sugar Connection over the last three years thank you for believing in me, cheering me on, and helping this little dream continue to grow. My heart is so full. Here’s to celebrating this milestone and to everything that’s still to come. I can’t wait to keep creating and making sweet memories with all of you! 🤍🎂✨

🧵✨ SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: JUNIE & LOU CO. ✨🧵

I’m so excited to introduce another incredible sponsor helping make The Summer We Turned 3 so special! 🤍

Meet Hayley, the founder of Junie & Lou Co., a custom embroidery business creating beautifully personalized gifts, branded apparel, and one of a kind embroidered pieces.

After spending 15 years as a graphic designer in the corporate world, Hayley decided to take a leap of faith and build something of her own. Inspired by her two daughters, she created Junie & Lou Co. so she could spend more time doing what she loves most, creating meaningful pieces that people will treasure for years to come. From custom gifts to live embroidery experiences, every item she makes is crafted with so much care and intention.

For our anniversary celebration, Hayley is generously sponsoring the custom embroidery on all of our guest tote bags! 🪡🐚 Every guest will leave with a beautifully embroidered keepsake that makes our anniversary totes even more special, and I couldn’t be more excited to share them with everyone.

I’m so grateful to have Hayley and Junie & Lou Co. as part of this celebration. Supporting women who take a chance on themselves and turn their creativity into something incredible is one of my favorite parts of what I do, and Hayley is such an inspiring example of that.

Although our anniversary class is officially sold out, we’ll have several incredible small business vendors set up throughout the event, and you’re more than welcome to stop by, shop, and experience a little of the magic with us. Be sure to give Junie & Lou Co. a follow for all of your custom embroidery and personalized gift needs! 🤍🧵🌊
