A little summer inspiration from the farm 🌿

I recently spent the most wonderful day at Big Rock Organics and Esther’s Place — the kind of place that reminds you to slow down and appreciate where things come from.

We toured the farm, fed the sheep, wandered the flower fields, and enjoyed homemade potato soup, rhubarb muffins, and rhubarb tea.

And of course… I couldn’t leave without a little fiber inspiration. 🧶

I brought home the most beautiful green dyed Merino Wool & Tussah Silk that I can’t wait to spin into yarn and eventually turn into something handmade.

This summer, I’ll be spending a few hours a month volunteering at Big Rock Organics in exchange for a share of their vegetables and flowers — something about that feels beautifully full circle.

Hands in the soil.
Hands in the fiber.
Hands creating.

The more I learn about sustainable farming, textiles, and traditional ways of making, the more inspired I am in my own creative work.

Here’s to slowing down, learning something new, and finding beauty in the process. 🌱

Lately, what’s inspiring me most is the act of making space.

Spring cleaning my home has turned into something deeper—letting go of the things that no longer serve me and honoring the pieces ready for their next chapter.

A set of Russell Wright mid-century dishes and a Rowley Company Grommet/Button Press are both available for sale.

The dishes can be found at Antiques of Winfield Booth U17 (upstairs, to the right), and the press is listed on Facebook.

I’ve also been reminded that sustainability often begins at home—reusing what we already have, clearing space thoughtfully, and choosing intention over excess.

Sometimes letting go is exactly what makes room for creativity to return. 🤍

A new chapter…✨

I’ve been making some shifts in my work lately—focusing more on the smaller, meaningful pieces that allow me to stay creative and hands-on.

And outside of my client work, I’ve been spending time creating just for the joy of it.

These coasters are made from fabric I had on hand, finished with vintage ribbon…simple, sustainable, and honestly so fun to make.

It’s been a reminder that creativity doesn’t always have to be big to be meaningful. 🤍

You can find these at Antiques of Winfield — Booth U17 (upstairs, to the right).
