Hi! I unfortunately won’t be able to attend this event tomorrow! I’ve been under the weather since Tuesday and haven’t improved, so have decided to sit this one out to get needed rest.

My remaining seasonal earrings, ornaments, and more trinket dishes have just been dropped off at Handmade by LMAC - Local Makers, Artists and Crafters at One Loudoun today, so please check it out!

Happy Holidays!!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out yesterday to Sixth Annual Dirt Farm Christmas Market! It was an amazing day from start to finish! Packed up about 30 minutes early because of the snow that accumulated super fast. It was beautiful though and we even lingered a bit to enjoy a brew around the fire pit with the view!

THIS weekend is Leesburg’s Fine Arts and Crafts Show at Ida Lee Rec. Center. Saturday 9-4 and Sunday 10-4. You will be able to find me in the gym!(check out the video in the comments! ❄️)
