Becky Potter

Terry and Becky Potter met in 2017 and hit it off immediately like two best friends who have waited decades to finally get to catch up. 

  • Love holding hands and public smooches 
  • Dreaming of our next vacation (France and then back to Italy are our current dreams)
  • Laughing at Bella’s antics
  • Talking about work, planning the next day, and our next business goal
  • Going out to dinner, plays, and movies
  • Love taking classes: painting classes, cooking classes, and even dance lessons – we still stink at it!
  • Terry loves to tell “bad jokes” and Becky can’t help herself but laugh <face palm>

We decided to step into the wine business (can this be better said somehow?) because we are too young to retire, we love to entertain, and we have what we believe is a beautiful property in Dundee Hills, we want to be able to share with people. We have recently finished planting our estate vineyard.

Angela Walker

When asked about our name "Tin & Paisley," it reminds me of my daughters. My youngest daughter is all Tin. She loves rustic, western, Pendleton, and turquoise. While my oldest daughter is all Paisley. She loves comfy clothes to dress up or down. Dress with pockets (like her mama) and a good pair of jeans to pair with a blouse. This sums up our store with a dash of jewelry and some gift items for all occasions.

 

As a hairstylist for 20 plus years, I have always loved helping ladies shine. That feeling you get with a new cut or color is just as amazing as the feeling of finding the perfect jeans! This little boutique to me is my way of sprinkling some love and shine to all our new friends. So girls, let us help you SHINE! Or stop by and say hi!

John Lacey

Master John Lacey is the founder and heart behind Musa Martial Arts in Sherwood, Oregon — a school built on roundhouse kicks, real-life lessons, and the power of community. A lifelong martial artist whose Olympic dreams were cut short by a tragic accident, Master Lacey found new purpose through teaching: blending taekwondo, hapkido, and Brazilian jiu jitsu with character development and mentorship.

Guided by resilience and inspired by his wife (his “biggest redirect and believer”), Master Lacey turned personal setbacks into an opportunity to build Musa — a place where kids and adults learn far more than self-defense. At Musa, students practice teamwork, gratitude, and respect alongside their kicks and forms, and even discover their own strength through after-school programs, summer camps, and community partnerships.

Beyond the mats, Master Lacey is known for his kindness, humor, and unwavering belief that martial arts can change lives, because it changed his.

Mckaila Egan

The creator of Medicine Ghippsy. As a herbalist and yoga teacher, I offer a range of healing techniques that promote wellness for the body and home. Growing up I faced my own health concerns with digestion and hormonal imbalances. As an adult and stepping into motherhood, my issues became worse. I spent countless hours and dollars on doctor visits and medicines, but nothing helped my body heal. Through my journey, I discovered natural ways to strengthen my mind, body & spirit. Since 2016, I have trained and studied natural healing modalities. I became a certified yoga teacher and graduated from Vital Ways Institute in Portland, Oregon, becoming an Herbalist. I found over the years of research that digestion, health, and hormones are interconnected. Learning positive ways to heal my body has inspired me to share my story. Holistic living is about listening to your body. As you start with simple changes on the inside, you will begin to see positive changes on the outside.

Sarah Holtz

Hi, I’m Sarah—founder of Simplicity with Sarah Holtz, a lifelong teacher, vendor event enthusiast, and believer in the beauty of doing business with heart and intention. 


With over 17 years in education, I’ve developed a passion for helping others feel seen, supported, and equipped—whether in the classroom or at a pop-up market table. For the past two+ years, I’ve taken that same passion into the world of vendor events, learning firsthand what it takes to create a meaningful customer experience, build lasting connections, and stay grounded while juggling all the moving pieces of running a small business.


Through Simplicity with Sarah, my mission is to help small business owners simplify the behind-the-scenes aspects of their work so they can show up more fully, authentically, and joyfully in their role. Because I believe that simplicity isn’t about doing less, it’s about doing what matters, with more clarity and peace.
