How It All Began…
In 2020, our founders got together to discuss the possibility of hosting a small boutique at a home on Oak Meadow Drive in Santa Clarita, CA. Their idea was to create an event that would feature small local businesses, and create a place for those online businesses to meet and interact with their customers all in one place. It started out with just a few local businesses, but it quickly grew to 30+ vendors!
The first event was a huge success with over so many customers coming through to enjoy tasty treats, and shop their favorite online businesses. The question from vendors and consumers alike was “when can we do this again?”
In 2021, Chantell, Jayden, & Desiree met on Oak Meadow to discuss the possibility of a Spring Boutique and the idea for The Meadow Collective was formed. From there the semi-annual event kept growing and we have now moved to Hart & Main in Newhall, CA. We couldn’t be more thankful and excited to continue hosting it with the amazing team there!
MEET THE FOUNDERS
Chantell Dennis || Simply Organized (@simply__organized)
I was born and raised in the Santa Clarita Valley, met my hubby in High School, and together, we are raising three young children here as well! In 2020, I took a leap of faith and started my journey as a professional organizer and now I get to help home owners get their spaces organized! From pantries and closets to bathrooms and offices, at SO, we do it all!
My favorite thing about the job is seeing my customers excitement when they walk into their newly organized space(s), and later hearing from them how much it had changed their lives for the better and reduced their stress! 🤗
I have had so much fun planning these events and am excited to launch The Meadow Collective with Jayden and Des! I am passionate about supporting our small local businesses and it has been a great joy to develop relationships with their owners along the way!
Jayden Hobbs || Vibe Florals (@vibe_florals)
I’m 26 years old, I grew up in Dallas, TX, then moved out to Santa Clarita all on my own for college. I started my first business in high school & and my second in college. It was about that time that I met my husband. He immediately grasped my love for business and I truly know I would not be where I am today without his constant support of all my ideas (and there’s A LOT of them!🙈). We also have a precious daughter named Kara!
Vibe is in its 7th year of business and consists mainly of floristry, house plants, carpentry, and a little photography too!
I’m so excited to be a part of building THIS community, because events like this mean so much to me! Getting to see clients & shoppers in person, and also getting to support other small businesses along the way is truly such a joy of mine and fills my cup every time!

I have been practicing photography since as long as I can remember but didn’t take it on as a profession until January of 2019. I am a storyteller for couples in love & growing families.

My favorite part of the job is connecting with people & making new lifelong friendships. I will look forward to meeting & photographing some of you at our next event!!
