Hi everyone!

Welcome to the first ever Rose Acolyte shop newsletter! Wow! Thank you for subscribing.

In case you forgot, I’m Julien, the artist behind the needlepoint/pottery/stationery brand Rose Acolyte, and I am going to be very busy this fall + holiday season, lol. I’m doing a handful of markets and am going to do ONE online shop opening period (there is a low chance I will do two, but assume the one I will give you the date for below will be the only one in 2026). Let me give you a rundown of where I’m going to be:

• October 3 (This Saturday!) - FETE MARKET, Portland ME, 10AM - 3PM, Old Port Sq. 200 Middle St.

• November 11 - 13 - LETTERS & THREAD, a needlepoint retreat in Ann Arbor, MI. This is not a typical market, but I will be helping with Saturnalia needlepoint sales and will bring some pottery magnets and Christmas ornaments, and maybe some other stuff. I might also bring other stuff but am not totally sure lol. If you want things from me like original doodles on paper, painted tote bags, etc, let me know and I can try to bring them.

• [MAYBE ONE EARLY DECEMBER MARKET IN PORTLAND MAINE, TBD]

• December 12 - 13 - CONFETTI HOLIDAY BAZAAR, Biddeford ME, 10AM - 4PM Saturday & Sunday, The Big Room 40 Main St building 13W.

• Mid - Late December (I don’t actually have dates yet but it always goes until Dec. 24 and might open like December 10 or 11) - PORTLAND POTTERY HOLIDAY SALE, Portland ME, I’ll send more details about this later.

Honestly I’ll probably send reminders about the December markets anyway but I thought I would include them here for completeness.

AND ANNOUNCED TO NEWSLETTER SUBSCRIBERS OR WATCHERS ONLY: I am finally going to do a limited online store opening at the end of October. Probably October 19 - 26. Eek. I have a lot to do to get that ready lol. Not sure what I will include. Some small pottery for sure. Stationery. We’ll see what else. I’ll send a reminder about this too when I have more details but just wanted to get it out there to give myself some accountability.

That’s it for now. Come see me at Fete Market on Saturday if you’re a southern Maine person!

Love,

Julien
