Leslie's Garage sells unique handmade items, and has a purpose for why… ask us!

🛍️😂 WE’RE NOT FANCY AROUND HERE… WE USE WHAT WE’VE GOT!

Behind the scenes at Leslie’s Garage isn’t exactly Pinterest-perfect organization. 😂💕 When it’s time to sort, organize, and prepare for a show, we grab whatever works.

And this past week?

GROCERY BAGS. LOTS AND LOTS OF GROCERY BAGS. 🤣🛍️

One bag for this bundle. Another bag for that package. A bag of focals. A bag of beads. A bag filled with smaller bags of beads because apparently that’s where we are in life now. 😂

Is it fancy? Nope.
Is it glamorous? Absolutely not.
Does it work? HECK YES. 🙌

Sometimes running a small business means getting creative with more than just the things you make. 💗 We’re sorting, prepping, packing, creating, and getting everything ready for our shows however we can.

So if you ever picture us behind the scenes with perfectly labeled bins and a flawless organization system…

Please replace that image with a room full of grocery bags stuffed with beads. 😂😂😂

✨ Use what you have. Make it work. Keep creating. ✨

And maybe someday we’ll upgrade the system…

…but probably after we buy more beads. 🤷‍♀️🤣💕

📦😂 TELL ME YOU RUN A SMALL BUSINESS WITHOUT TELLING ME YOU RUN A SMALL BUSINESS…

My husband gets home, walks through the door, and just throws my packages on the couch like this is a completely normal thing. 🤣

No questions. No explanation. Just…

📦 package
📦 package
💌 colorful mailer
📦 another box
📦 where did THAT one come from?
📦📦📦 MORE PACKAGES

At this point, a couch covered in happy mail has just become part of our home decor. 😂💗

And the funniest part? Neither one of us even reacts anymore. He tosses them down, I eventually wander over like it’s Christmas morning, and Duncan probably wonders why we keep ordering boxes that contain absolutely nothing for him. 🐾😂

This is just regular life around here now.

Some houses have decorative throw pillows…

We have packages. 📦🤣💕

And I wouldn’t have it any other way. 💗✨

🚨💕 SURPRISE! WE’RE GOING LIVE AT 12 TODAY! 💕🚨

Apparently the beads won the battle this morning… 😂 So instead of being responsible, we’re choosing BEADS, CREATIVITY & CHAOS! 🙌💗

Come hang out with me on Whatnot TODAY at 12 PM! 🎉

We’ve got:
✨ NEW packages
💕 NEW bundles
🛍️ Lots of bead goodness
😂 Questionable self-control
☕ And enough caffeine to make this interesting!

Mini vacation is officially OVER, I’m recharged, caught up, and ready to get back into it! 💪💗

So grab your lunch, sneak away from work 👀, or just come keep me company while we dig through all the pretty things!

⏰ TODAY • 12 PM
💗 WHATNOT LIVE SHOW

See you at NOON! 🎉💕
And remember… you can always explain the beads later. 😂🫣

✨💗 RECHARGED, CAUGHT UP & MAYBE EVEN A LITTLE AHEAD?! 💗✨

Who even am I?! 😂🙌

Taking a little mini vacation and getting some much-needed time with my mom was exactly what I needed. 🥹💕 We laughed, talked, made memories, and of course… sorted beads because apparently that’s quality family time around here. 😂🩷

But now Mom time is over, the batteries are RECHARGED, I’m feeling caught up (and dare I say… maybe even a tiny bit AHEAD 😳👏), and it’s officially time to get back to the HUSTLE & GRIND! 💪✨

And we are jumping RIGHT back into the chaos because…

🎉 WE’RE LIVE TOMORROW — WEDNESDAY 9/9/26! 🎉

I’ve been working on LOTS of NEW packages and bundles and I cannot wait for you guys to see what I’ve put together! 😍📦 There’s plenty of bead goodness, fun combinations, surprises, and probably a few things you didn’t know you needed until you see them. 😂

☕ Caffeine: READY
💗 Beads: EVERYWHERE
📦 New packages: READY
🎁 Bundles: LOADED
😜 Self-control: STILL MISSING

Mini vacation is officially over… BACK TO THE BEADS, BABY! 💗✨

Who’s hanging out with me tomorrow?! 🙋‍♀️💕

💗 SHOW UPDATE! 💗

Okay friends, little change of plans! Our show is getting SWAPPED TO SATURDAY NIGHT! 🎉✨

And I have the BEST reason… MY MOM IS COMING! 🥹💕 I haven’t seen her in A WHOLE YEAR, so you better believe I’m soaking up every minute I can with her.

And what are our big, exciting mother-daughter plans while she’s here?!

😂 SORT. BEADS. 😂

Yep. She travels all this way to see me and I’m basically like, “I missed you so much… here’s a giant pile of beads. Start sorting.” 🤣💀💗

Honestly, though, I can’t think of a better way to spend time together—talking, laughing, catching up, and probably questioning every life decision that led to owning THIS MANY BEADS. 😂

So come hang out with us SATURDAY NIGHT for all the bead chaos, laughs, goodies, and whatever else we manage to get ourselves into!

💕 Mom’s in town.
✨ The beads are out.
😂 Saturday night is about to get interesting.

See you Saturday! 💗💗💗

🌟 FOLLOWER FEATURE! 🌟

One of my favorite things about the handmade community is getting to see the incredible creativity of other makers, and today I wanted to shine a little spotlight on a follower, a fellow seller and their AMAZING work! 💕✨

Just look at these tumblers! 😍 From the gorgeous western floral design and sparkly snow-globe style cups to iced coffee, Jeeps, and classic drink-inspired designs — there’s seriously something for every personality.

What I especially love is how different each one feels. 🤠🌸☕💀🚙🥤 Whether you’re into bold and edgy, bright and fun, western vibes, or something personalized like the adorable Mama cup, these are such fun statement pieces.

Small businesses are filled with talented people putting their time, creativity, and heart into what they make. Supporting another seller doesn’t take away from your own shine — there’s room for all of us to succeed! 🫶

So today, we’re giving this talented maker a well-deserved round of applause! 👏👏👏

💖 See something you love? Drop a comment below!
✨ Know a small business that deserves a feature? Tag them!
🛍️ And remember — when you shop small, share a post, leave a comment, or recommend a maker to a friend, you’re helping a real person behind that business.

Makers supporting makers. Small businesses supporting small businesses. That’s what community is all about. 💕🌟
