👕✨ VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: JUAREZ KREATIONZ ✨👕

We’re wrapping up our vendor spotlight series with our last—but certainly not least—very loved vendor, Juarez Kreationz!

Veronica has been creating shirts for me for years, long before she officially became part of Against the Grain. When we began bringing local makers into the store, it only felt right to have her creations here too! 💛

Veronica started Juarez Kreationz from her home in 2016 as a hobby, and it has grown into a wonderful one-woman business. She creates custom shirts, koozies, garden flags, spirit towels, tote bags and more—turning ideas into fun, meaningful pieces people are excited to wear and share.

We especially love her small-town Texas designs and the way she helps us celebrate our community, our Cardinals and all the things that make Columbus feel like home. ❤️🤍

Supporting Juarez Kreationz means supporting a hardworking local woman who has poured years of creativity, care and heart into her business. We’re so thankful Veronica has been creating for us all these years—and even more thankful to have her as part of our Against the Grain vendor family!

Stop by to see her latest shirts and creations, and follow Juarez Kreationz on Facebook to see everything she can bring to life. 👕✨

☀️ VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: SUNBOUND BEAD & THREAD ☀️

Today’s spotlight proves that talent and an entrepreneurial spirit can begin at any age!

At only 17 years old, the young lady behind Sunbound Bead & Thread is already creating beautiful handcrafted jewelry filled with Western charm and personality. From turquoise statement pieces to silver-toned beads and one-of-a-kind designs, her jewelry can add the perfect finishing touch to any outfit. 🩵✨

Her creativity goes beyond jewelry, too! Sunbound Bead & Thread also creates waxed-thread bracelets, hand-beaded hat bands and shoes, along with custom pieces designed especially for the person wearing them.

We absolutely love having the opportunity to encourage young entrepreneurs and give them a place to share their talents with our community. When you purchase one of her pieces, you aren’t simply buying jewelry, you’re supporting the dreams, creativity, and future of an incredibly talented young maker. 💛

Stop by Against the Grain to see her jewelry in person, and be sure to follow Sunbound Bead & Thread on Facebook and Instagram to watch this young business grow!

🌶️ YOU ASKED… AND WE DID! 🌶️

MENUDO IS NOW IN OUR FREEZER! 🥣❤️

A big bowl of Mexican comfort food is officially just a freezer away. Our homemade menudo is packed with tender honeycomb tripe, hearty hominy, and lots of delicious spices & peppers that come together for that rich, comforting flavor you’re craving.

Just heat it up, pile on your favorite toppings—fresh cilantro, lime, diced onion (and whatever else your heart desires!)—and dig in. 🤤

Because sometimes you need a bowl of menudo… and sometimes you need it without having to spend all day making it. 😂

🔥 Grab yours from the freezer and bring home a little bowl of comfort!

🌿 VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: B BLEST T 🌿

Today we’re celebrating a vendor who brings together two beautiful gifts—her love of nature and her eye for art! 💚

B Blest T grows herbs right here in Columbus and uses them to create her own all-natural, caffeine-free loose-leaf herbal teas. From garden to cup, her teas are thoughtfully grown and blended for a comforting taste of home. 🫖🌱

But her creativity doesn’t stop in the garden! She is also a talented artist and photographer. We carry greeting cards featuring her artwork and beautiful photographs of familiar sights from around Columbus. Each card is a little piece of our hometown that can be shared with someone special—or framed and enjoyed as art!

Whether you’re looking for a soothing cup of locally grown tea or a meaningful card with a hometown touch, B Blest T offers something truly unique.

Stop by Against the Grain to explore her teas and greeting cards, and be sure to follow Be Blessed on Facebook! 🌿📷💌

We had a sweet family come in while traveling from Houston to San Antonio for their weekend getaway. While visiting we learned they just moved to Houston from the UK 🇬🇧 and mom is from New Zealand, and grandma is here visiting from India. 🇮🇳 
Love the connection we get to create here at Against the Grain.
