Last but not least, we have our final vendor spotlight! Cultivated Connections will be joining us with some freshly engraved goods! We will let these photos speak mostly for themselves, but we think the lazy susan divination boards are absolutely to die for!

Write to Craft’s realm of whimsy and light,
Where Tarot cards speak and fairies take flight.
With handmade treasures—mushrooms and more,
Each clay creation a magical door.
Come find a trinket, a card, or a spell,
In this world where enchantments dwell.

Tabby Cat Tarot ( https://www.instagram.com/tabbycat_tarot/ ) isn't coming in to bring up do-it-yourself blessing and spell jars! Need something to keep close to help attract the right kinds of vibes your way? Well, look no further! Reach out for what calls to you, and gather it to keep it near.

I do love a good craft station!

Kelcie at Odds and Ends Designs has been absolutely bringing a touch of magic to everyday life through her resin artworks and seriously impressive 3d printing. Seriously though, check out the rainbow butterfly dragon on her etsy, because I can't share photos from that site easily and it is GORGEOUS. Come and see what she has come up with this time! Each show is a little different and I do love her work!
