Hello! The Odd Mart market has been rescheduled for this Sunday, 12-4! I’ll be tabling! Please stop by if you’re in the Twin Cities.

[Niky Motekallem @royalghostmarch]

Heya! If you’re in Minneapolis on Sunday, I’ll be tabling at Odd Mart. Come say hi and get some prints, stationary, totes, and shirts. For folks not in the Twin Cities, everything is available in my sh🍁p.

[Niky Motekallem @royalghostmarch]

Hi hello, folks! This weeks’s Odd Market is canceled because staff illness (hope everyone recovers!) I won’t be tabling on Sunday. So sorry if anyone was planning on going. I’ll definitely share details when it’s rescheduled.
