Feeling very grateful and privileged for the reciprocity we can practice and cultivate here, and having this space to practice self care to help balance all the chaos and hate🙏☺️

I know there are many reasons for this, but when the “norm” in our society is to create a sterile environment where you live then we are destroying the diversity of life on Earth. Everyone of us can provide a bit more habitat for life regardless if you have 50 acres or an apartment patio.

And then I hear folks say things about not seeing lightning bugs or bees or birds or _____ “like they used to” as if they are shocked by this?!

Finding peace, joy, and so much life here on the farmstead refuge the past few weeks! When I drive by the majority of homes and see manicured lawns with nothing but grass, the void of life makes me sad.

I’ll also have many other #handbuiltceramic drinking vessels, coffee pour overs, vases, platters, and more! And there will be many other fantastic local artists and vendors to support! See y’all Saturday☀️🍻🍷🥃✌️

I’ll have these pints, some wine and spirit tumblers, and some beer steins (or for lots of coffee the next morning😅) ready to hold your beverage at the festival (and beyond of course) because wouldn’t you rather be drinking out of one of these instead of a plastic cup?!

I’ve been working on designing a pint “glass” the past couple of months, and I’m happy to say I’ve got a very limited few ready just in time for Saturday’s 20th Annual Art, Beer, & Wine Festival @artbeerandwinefestival !

Please call your reps to demand they look at the details of the recently passed House version of the “One Big, Disastrous Bill” and remove all the parts that will give America its first dictator. Read it yourself if you’re curious what I’m talking about.

See you Saturday…

Their staggered bloom times has given me a bit longer time window to work with these hardy beauties this year!

Who else loves purple and green together?!

Hello! Here are few pieces from my most recent #grapehyacinth collection. One thing we did last fall was plant these bulbs in a variety of places scattered about in areas that receive varying amounts of sunlight.

This is love💚

Supposed to be 30 or even into the 20s tonight so gotta care for the plants that care for us…blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, figs, peonies, and all the annuals are back inside for the night! Let’s just hope it doesn’t fall too far down into the 20s🤞
