This month, theORLANDOAN Marketplace is growing. We’re expanding with new shirts and neighborhood-inspired goodies. But that’s not all: We’re also adding some limited-edition, hand-painted cards. Soon, you’ll be able to send your Orlando love with Elizabeth Farmer’s locally inspired cards.
Marketing major by education, web designer by
profession, Elizabeth Farmer felt that founding Bright Light Paper (formerly Happygolucky Creations) was a natural
next step for her. “I was in San Diego for work and wanted to send a gift to my
cousin. But when I got home, I realized
I didn’t have any random miscellaneous cards. I didn’t want to just put it in
an envelope.” Since then, she’s created cards for every occasion.
Originally from Gainesville, Orlando is Farmer’s
home away from home. “Gradually, it’s just kind of grown on me. The community’s
building, there’s more culture than there’s been in the past.” Meeting people
through local events and by selling her cards at stores around town, Farmer has
opened up to exploring the city. In our quick-fire round, she shared some of
her favorite hot spots:
- Favorite designer: Cindy Thornton, Illustrator
- Favorite hangout: The Imperial
- Favorite restaurant: Bento
- Favorite gallery: City Arts Factory
- Orlando doesn’t suck because… “it has great artists, murals on buildings, painted power boxes—there’s a sense of creativity here.”
In addition to her online store, you can find her
cards at Local Roots, Gallery on the Edge,
outdoor markets, and, of course, at theORLANDOAN Marketplace.
