Oh no! Why is Mary Anne sad? Is it because she has no pendant that goes with her purple dress? No need to be sad! She can make one! 🙂
Parking may be a little tight

Parking may be a little tight at the Berwyn Shops today, because the Commodore Barry Post next door is having its annual cookout. But on the plus side, free food as long as supplies last. 🙂 It’s going to be annoyingly hot today, but you could grab something to eat and then swing by our […]
It is the cutest

New in shop — little hellebore side table. It is the cutest. 🙂 (I’m not saying every new table I make is my favorite, but briefly, it is. You have to love the one you’re with…)
Little changes at the shop
Aug. 16th, 2025 02:08 pm![[syndicated profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/feed.png)
Little changes at the shop. When I first opened, I was really scrambling to get enough product made and prices on everything, so I resorted to little chalkboard signs everywhere. Which works, and was actually helpful for the early months when I wasn’t sure what would actually be successful in the store and worth shelf […]
The shortsightedness of it all
Aug. 16th, 2025 03:07 am![[syndicated profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/feed.png)
Rough week, people. The political news is just — I don’t know if it’s actually worse, or if it feels worse. But I was driving yesterday and found myself thinking about USAID and the projected millions in deaths (many of them children) from our cutting off that funding, and also thinking about the appalling waste […]

At the Shops ‘til 4 today, and moving a little slow, but Dan set me up with one of his horchata iced coffees and I’m good to go! Bright Void Coffee Roasters

Finished up something new

Quiet end of shift at Sprout, finished up something new, using some of the hand spun yarn I picked up in Kaua’i at Hanalei Strings — a tumbler cozy. Made up the pattern as I went along, finishing with a row of waves on top. Will have it at the Berwyn Shops tomorrow.
Working a shift at Sprout today
Aug. 14th, 2025 07:05 pm![[syndicated profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/feed.png)
Working a shift at Sprout today, so took the opportunity to bring some items in and add them. Quick note for locals — in general, what I have at Sprout is going to be a little lower priced than at the Shops (even the same items sometimes), and Sprout is also open normal store hours […]

Actually tasted like mango and sticky rice

Was a little surprised that this actually tasted like mango and sticky rice. Would be even better with fresh mango, tho.
