Just added to the shop. I’ve only got a few of these left so grab one if you were waiting for me to get them on the site. ♥️

Lemon Verbena body butter is in the shop now. Artemis candles and other favorites are restocked, and I’ll be adding a few new things in the coming days. 🖤

It’s a wrap for the season and I forgot to take a single picture of closing weekend. If you visited Prairie Fire at @sherwoodforestfaire thank you so much for your support. We had a great season thanks to Veronica and sitting this season out so I could stay home and make stuff was a true blessing and saved my sanity. It was great to see everyone on the weekends we popped in and were excited and inspired for next year’s season. ♥️

I’ve got a few precious bars of my rosemary gardener’s soap over in the shop. Made with sea water from Kirrha Greece, fine pumice, Cambrian blue clay and essential oils, this exfoliating bar is all natural and great for smoothing rough spots and moisturizing with cocoa butter, olive oil, coconut oil and castor oil.

It’s been awhile since I felt inspired to create a new candle, but I haven’t stopped thinking about Artemis since I visited her temple at Brauron in Greece. I wanted to create something special to her worship at Brauron and images of the young girls who danced as bears in a rite of passage there stayed with me. Made with bearberry, ambrette, lemon balm, and wormwood, these candles encompass all of my favorite aspects of Artemis. Now on the website.

Made with my home grown catnip, patchouli and roses, infused with hibiscus, damiana and fenugreek, and softened with vanilla, sandalwood and sweet orange. Use as a ritual oil to dress candles, in love spells, to scent your bath, or wear as perfume to call love to you.

F and I made the trip down to Sherwood yesterday to do a little birthday shopping and restock the shop. Happy to find old faire friends and catch up, sorry to have missed others. We’ll be back down in 3 weeks for the last weekend so we’ll have another chance to see friends before the circus packs up and disappears for another year.

It’s planting season and all the rain has been gratefully received by my plants and trees. This year I’m yet again attempting more food plants, this time in containers so I can move them to shaded spots when the temperature soars. I’ll try lavender again, hopefully getting enough for a hydrosol. The clary sage is huge and I’d love to get some flowers this year. There’s already a bumper crop of wormwood, oregano, and catnip and the valerian and St. John’s wort look happy too. The new variety of mugwort looks ready to shoot forth and I’m excited to harvest a little in a couple of weeks. What are you growing this season and how are you coping with warmer temperatures where you are?

So I found Aaron Bushnell's reddit and went through his comments/posts. That young man was well read and stable as they can be. Nothing in his writings pointed to someone who was "unstable" or "brainwashed".

He held leftist and anarchist ideals. He belong to the ACAB subreddit. He recognized the evil of the US Military even though he himself was a part of it. He hated TERFS and called out fatphobia. He understood the dangers of white supremecy and the evils of capitalism.

He had a cat. He liked the show fleabag and played elden ring.

Apparently in his will he wants to leave any money in his name to palestinian relief funds. He was trying to find a new owner for his cat.

Rest in peace Aaron Bushnell. The world won't forget & we sure as fuck won't let the media paint you out to be some crazy conspiracy theorist who had no idea what he was doing.

I took the whole day off and ate Peeps and cuddled with Biggy in bed. I’ve been scrambling since mid December and today was my first full day off since. There’s a lot to be said for aggressively lounging, friends. I’m back to work tomorrow, pouring my weird scented candles for Sherwood, but what a fantastically lazy, unproductive day I had. 🖤🖤🖤

Veronica is making things look beautiful in the tent at Sherwoood this morning and the sunlight is making me wish I was there. The quilted piece hanging up was made by my beautiful friend Bear and I’m so stunned by her handiwork. Makes the tent look nice, doesn’t it?

It’s an absolutely perfect day out at Sherwood Forest Faire. I’m at home making more things to share but new shop manager Veronica is there so go say hello if you’re out!

I finished up the Cambrian blue clay bars made with sea water from Kirrha Greece, adding a little pumice and rosemary and lemon to make an exfoliating gardener’s soap. I also whipped up another small batch of the lavender sea salt soap and I think I’ll call it a day on the soap making for Sherwood.
