Cheers To 2022!

Happy new year friends! We hope that 2022 is treating everyone good so far and that your holiday season was a memorable one! Our holiday was spent with close family and friends and our New Year's Eve consisted of a delicious home cooked meal, movies at home and keeping our senior dogs safe from those scary ol' fireworks. :-D
Now let's talk PLB! About a week ago we let the cat out of the bag and revealed that the date for our 2022 OUTDOOR SPRING MARKET had been set for Saturday, April 2nd! We're also SUPER excited about our newest location in Irvine, CA at the beautiful Eureka Outdoor Venue! We can't wait for you guys to see this beautiful space and all the things we have planned for this one. Expect all the things you know and love about our markets but in a gorgeous outdoor Spring setting! So exciting!!
Those of you who have been long time PLB shoppers know that back in the day our markets were a staple at The Grand in Long Beach, CA but when the pandemic happened in 2020 EVERYTHING changed and we were forced to "pivot!". After a lot of research and a lot of location scouting, we found a new and gorgeous venue, Fete The Venue in Costa Mesa, CA, to host our 2021 Spring Market. This lovely venue was the host to the majority of our markets in 2021 and we were so grateful to have been able to help each other in a time when both of our industries were struggling. Once things seemed to be looking up for both PLB and The Fete we knew we had to revisit our future plans and pivot once again. Fast forward to the planning of our 2021 Holiday Market and the serendipitous discovery of Second Space in Brea, CA! Not only is the owner an amazing human being and an advocate for the small business community, but he also happens to own a fabulous and unique commercial studio and co-working space that we knew would be the picture-perfect setting for our 2021 Holiday Market. Needless to say, we ended one of our most enjoyable and successful seasons grateful and with our hearts full!
With all the changes that 2020-2021 unknowingly brought to us we found there was a positive side to all of the chaos. We found that it forced us out of our comfort zone and now have the ability to breathe new life into each and every one of our markets by finding unique and beautiful venues all around Orange County and other parts of Southern California while continuing to bring you the thoughtfully curated PLB markets you all know and love!
That's all for now friends! We'll be hard at work planning and prepping for Outdoor Spring Market and we hope to see everyone on April 2nd in Irvine, CA!

Cheers to a fabulous 2022!!
