Sisters Mercedes and Anastasia Korngut are out to spread the word on the importance of enjoying small pieces of happiness.
They sell items they’ve created, such as clothing and a game featuring messages on cards, to promote connection between family members and friends, as well as between members of the community at large.
“We’re both teenagers, so we know how difficult it can be to feel happy sometimes,” Mercedes Korngut, 15, said. “but what really helped us is focusing on the small and good things that happen every day.”The sisters sell their products and at popup stands, such as one they’re operating on Aug. 11 and 12 at the Calgary Farmers’ Market’s south location.Nine-year-old Autumn Dewar, who was at the market with her mom Erin, enjoyed checking out the Kornguts’ stand. She said any face-to-face connection is a welcome thing in the modern world.
“Everyone’s usually on their iPad or phone,” Autumn said. “I don’t love that, because there are still some small details in life that are way cooler.”“Our goal is to try to help you find the small things in the everyday and try to find out what makes you feel happier,” Anastasia, 13, said.
