As you get bombarded with emails and ads from big corporations about sales this weekend, please remember to shop small and local this holiday season.
This time of year is make or break for a lot of artists, makers, and small businesses. We're a key part of our local economy and need your support!

These hats were a labor of love and each one is dear to me. They're all made from secondhand fabrics, quilts, and coverlets from my grandmothers and mom.

*Special little note* If you're a Kingston person and snag one tonight: I can drop it off to you tomorrow (10/23) Just select local pick up at checkout and I'll deliver it tomorrow!

Happy witchy shopping! 🧹🖤

Farm Aid 2024 - Holy Mackerel!
This Saturday was a literal dream and I’m still processing it all!
Thank you to Farm Aid for including me in the HOMEGROWN Village and allowing me to share the beauty and fun of botanical cyanotype printing!
I had the honor of presenting to a tent packed full of people curious and interested in this amazingly accessible art. In addition to my presentation I was able to speak to farmers, advocates, musicians, and supporters from all over the US!
It was truly magical to see people come together to support farmers in such a meaningful way and I will be eternally grateful that I was able to be a part of this.
Thank you to everyone who came by my booth and/or presentation. It was an honor to speak to each and every one of you!

This Saturday I have the honor of presenting at Farm Aid 2024 here at S**C. 🤯
It's crazy to think that this little farm I started 4 years ago has become such an amazing outlet for my creativity and passion for flowers and mother earth.
In addition to leading the Soak Up the Sun: Cyanotype 101 demo this Saturday, Jessica Kurn from Farm Aid interviewed me for the Farmer Heroes blog on the Farm Aid website.
You can click the link below to check it out!

And if you'll be at Farm Aid please stop by HOMEGROWN Village - HOMEGROWN Skills tent to say hi! I'll be there all day in addition to my demo at 3pm.

Q+A with Hummingbird’s Blooms owner and farmer-florist, Alexandra Norton. Alexandra will lead a sun-printing demonstration in the Farm Aid 2024 HOMEGROWN Skills Tent.
