Aunna with
Aunna Cosmetics
Aunna is a high school student from Ohio as well as the face behind Aunna Cosmetics. She started Aunna Cosmetics in 2021 at the age of 13 after loving everything beauty since she was little.
She got her start by making body + lip scrubs with her mom in their kitchen! It is really important to me that all my products are clean, which means making sure they are vegan and cruelty-free. Her body care products are also made with all-natural butters and oils like Mango butter, Shea butter, and Coconut oil. Whether it's the flavor/scent or name, the majority of her products are inspired by her love for music and pop culture.

After use, the entire card can be planted into your garden, or even a pot, giving the card, once destined for a landfill, a whole new chance at life - literally! By bringing your card to life with these wildflowers, you are helping the lives of bees, butterflies, and so much more!
Cathy with
Books A Go Go
Cathy has always been an avid reader and loved working for Waldenbooks and Borders Books & Music before raising a family. Now that her daughters are grown, she wanted to get back into the book business and a pop up shop seemed like the perfect way to do that. She is based in Portage County where there are no bookstores that sell new books so that is the focus of the shop. She carries a limited selection of books in many genres and is happy to order in whatever anybody might want. She also runs four book clubs a month!
