I have had such an amazing experience as a vendor at 4GoodVibes! I have been a crafter all my life but I never tried to sell anything, I never even did a craft fair. All my creations were for myself or gifts to others. During the pandemic I discovered a passion for Sola wood flowers. I watched many videos online and learned how to buy the raw flowers, paint & dye them & then create beautiful arrangements. I had a lot of free time so I practiced my new skills & created HUNDREDS of items. One day I came across a post from 4GoodVibes on Facebook. It was a live event & the owners Becka & Emily mentioned that they were opening another store in Nov 2021. They had a few spots left for new artists. I did A LOT of thinking about this. I wanted to offer my products for sale but I had been experiencing major anxiety & depression issues since the sudden death of my sister/best friend in 2012. I made the decision to contact 4GoodVibes & they accepted me into their Kingston location. Best decision, this has been a great experience. Starting out, I had so much anxiety, I was very quiet.

I’m so glad I met these women & I am so happy to be a part of 4GoodVibes. I know my sister is always with me & she is proud that I am putting myself out there now with a healthier &...
Read moreThe owners suddenly stopped communicating with us, did not tell us their location was closing, absorbed all our product and profit and closed our account without notice. We went to the location multiple times over the past couple years to try and get to the bottom of what could have happened, we even gave them our phone numbers in person, but despite being assured that we would be contacted it's never happened. It's clear that because we were underselling, they knew that there would be no consequence to pretending like we were never there. They told us there is "no record" of us ever selling there - how can that be? Even if we had parted ways amicably, a well-functioning business wouldn't just discard all records of prior artists. We even have proof such as documents signed and email conversations before they ghosted us and took our profits and our stock. We still have no idea if they threw it all away. We're heartbroken and powerless in this situation. All we can do is leave a bad review and ask others to boycott them until they contact us to at least tell us...
Read moreI love this shop (and not just because it's owned and operated by women!)! Their concept for this store is incredibly unique: They invite local artists to sell their stuff there and really work with not only them but the customers to make sure that everyone is happy and has the best item you could find in stores. They're extremely accommodating and have such an awesome business model with one-of-a-kind finds! The items here are totally can change even daily which is SO awesome! Absolutely love this store and will be back the next time I need to get...
