Rochester Pride brought the best crowd from start to finish! 🌈✨

From the second things kicked off, the foot traffic was steady and the energy was unmatched. Thanks to all the amazing support, today officially beat last year's revenue for this exact show! I am completely blown away and so grateful.

The shirt lineup was a huge hit, and stock is running pretty low on a few favorite designs! A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, chatted, and picked up a shirt. Seeing the community come together like this is exactly why I do what I do.

The next show will be at Pine Island Cheesefest June 6-7. To see the full lineup, go to northowlapparel.com!

16 orders shipped out in April and seeing where North Owl has landed never gets old 🦉✨

From Minnesota staples to Midwest favorites, here’s a little snapshot of what made its way across the map this month:

�Minnesota orders headed to Minneapolis, Winnebago, Waseca, Blaine, Burnsville, Moorhead, St. Paul, and Andover with favorites like Explore Minnesota, Duck Duck Grey Duck, Blizzard of 1991 Survivor, Lakes, Loons, and Pontoons, Midwest Grown, Nice Enough, distressed pine tree designs, and plenty of Minnesota-inspired apparel and stickers.

Wisconsin showed some love too with orders heading to Oak Creek, Burlington, Montreal, and Dousman featuring Wisconsin apparel, Lakes, Loons, and Pontoons, distressed pine tree stickers, Duck Duck Grey Duck, and other Midwest favorites.

A few Midwest favorites traveled even farther this month too, including a toddler Duck Duck Grey Duck shirt to New York, Midwest Babe and Duck Duck Grey Duck stickers to Arizona, and even Duck Duck Grey Duck making its way all the way to Alaska.

Every order means the world to this small business. Thank you for continuing to support North Owl and helping spread a little Midwest pride all over the map 🩵

Pop-up market season is officially off to a strong start.

Yesterday was a really good one. Great turnout, steady traffic all day, and I ended up making solid sales. One of my shirt designs almost completely sold out, which honestly caught me off guard but in the best way.

Still haven’t beaten my all-time revenue record yet, but it’s early. If this is how the first one went, I’m excited to see how the rest of the season plays out. I’ve got a great lineup of markets coming up this year.

If you want to catch me at the next one, you can check out my full pop-up schedule at northowlapparel.com. See you in two weeks at Rochester Pride, one of my favorite shows 🌈

Pop-up market season is officially back and I’m kicking things off today at The Rustic Mama’s Market in Owatonna. It’s my first time vending at this one and I’m excited to be part of it.

It’s been busy, I had to grab a quick video between people walking through.

If you’re in the area, there’s still time to stop by. I’m here until 3pm with my Midwest-inspired apparel.

If you’ve ever ordered from North Owl Apparel, placed a custom order, or worked with me on any design work, I would really appreciate you taking a minute to leave a Google review.

I’ve been putting more focus into growing this side of my business, and reviews play a big role in helping new people find my work and feel confident ordering. Since so much of what I do is custom, hearing directly from past customers makes a real difference.

If you’ve been happy with your order or experience, a few sentences about what you ordered or how it turned out would mean a lot.

March is one of those months where I’m just packing orders here and there and not really thinking much of it, and then I look back and realize how much actually went out. Different cities, different states, the same designs showing up in completely different places. It’s weird in the best way seeing something I made here end up in Arizona one day and Alaska the next.

Looking back at a full month like this makes it hit a little differently.

It’s not something I take lightly, and I really do appreciate every single order that comes through 🦉✨

A customer reached out through my website with an idea for a couple custom shirts, which quickly turned into four. Two read “Drinks On Neil” and the other two say “Drinks With Neil.”

This one was a really fun project to work on. I wanted to find a creative way to incorporate Neil’s face into the design without it feeling like a random floating photo, so I built the graphic around a beer mug so his face became part of the illustration itself.

When I finished the mockup I was honestly excited for them to see it. It’s always such a great feeling when an idea comes together and the design turns out exactly how you envisioned it.

The customer ended up loving how they turned out and even told me they love my work and already have more ideas in mind for the future. Projects like this are always a reminder of how much I enjoy bringing people’s custom ideas to life.

North Owl Apparel just hit 3,000 Instagram followers! 1,000 of that growth happened in the last six months. Seeing so much growth so quickly makes the milestone feel even bigger, and it is so much more than a number on a screen. It represents every 6am alarm to get set up for vendor shows and every late night at the studio working on orders. It’s a reminder of why I started this and why I love what I do.

I’m really thankful for every order, every referral, and every person who trusts me with their ideas. This little business keeps growing, and I’m so grateful to be building it one project at a time. 🦉✨
