____________________________

Good morning, everyone. I wanted to pop in and let you know that we will not be set up at Prater’s Mill this weekend.

We made this difficult decision last night based on the high wind and flood advisories, the possibility of tornadoes, the governor’s declaration of a state of emergency, and other events canceling across Georgia.

Of course, we can never know exactly what the weather will bring until it's here. But in 10 years of craft shows, I’ve experienced everything from extreme temperatures to high winds, sleet and even my own booth flooding. Dean has pulled SO many people out of muddy parking fields with my Jeep (including at an event the county shut down because so many people were stuck, emergency vehicles couldn’t move freely.) I’ve watched tents collapse and tumble, shelves of pottery blown over and shattered.

I know this seems like a lot to share but I want to make it clear that showing up and keeping my word matters to me. This decision weighed HEAVY on my heart, but ultimately real lived experiences drove our decision to stay home.

With all of that said, we could ALL use your support right now. Choosing to miss out on sales and lose booth fees that can’t be recouped is a tough call to make. If you have a favorite artist or small business, check in with them. Many of us are selling online and could use your support. An order, a share, or a recommendation can go a long way.

Prater’s Mill is still open, and there are vendors who took a lot of work to set up and bare the elements who could use your support, too. Whether online or in person, thank for continuing to shop small.

If you were made of hay, I could see why you’d be afraid of a flame. 🌾

For whatever your reason, Whistle While You Wick has your flameless needs covered with room sprays, reed diffusers, wax melts, and so much more!

Even scarecrows deserve a good-smelling cornfield. 😉

We’re in the time of year where my flower press is pretty low and I find myself scrambling to find botanicals to put into my candles.

I find myself with eyes wandering longer. My steps in the woods get a little slower. I consider plants that I would have passed over before.

It’s a bit frustrating at first, but then I get a bit of a chuckle, because this is the heart of my whole brand. To slow down and notice details that would otherwise be missed.

After a vibrant, showy spring, this is the season of that gentle reminder. Sometimes having less means noticing more.

This is all built into my brand’s philosophy: Burn slower. Notice more. Linger longer.

A giant thank you to everyone who came out to Fiddlin Fest! This show holds a special place in my heart because not only is it in my hometown, but I love classic cars and bluegrass 💙
So glad to see so many familiar faces and meet new. If you missed it, find me in Rome the first weekend of December at Winter Art Market.
