Endometriosis Awareness Month

Local Event & Endometriosis Awareness month

 

As March is endometriosis awareness month, I am donation 25% of my sales this month to the World Endometriosis Research Foundation.  It is a cause near to my heart that is not taken seriously by many people.  I am an ally and want to use my creative ability to help.  


There was a great pop up shop yesterday. It was in a small woman owned business in my city, Rochester.  I announced my intent to donate to this research foundation there.  If you missed the event, here is a great pic the venue took of me yesterday.  I always support small business in my city.

Spring 2023


So Excited - SPRING arrives today! Monday afternoon 3/20.at 5:24pm  As a gardener, it is the best time of year when everything wakes up.  Today is the Spring Equinox 2023! This is fantastic.  It is off to a wonderful beginning.   my seedlings are doing great and my peas will be planted soon.  

These beach glass rings are from Lake Ontario which is less than a half hour drive form my house.  I enjoy looking of the glass and seeing what the glass becomes.  .  hat better way to think about the new season tan to remember outside warmth of walking on the beach barefoot.

Why Shop Small and Support Local

 Shop Small

Three questions about shop Small and Support Local 

  • What does it mean to shop small?  
  • Why does it matter?
  • Who does it benefit?

The term shop small means to buy from small business and not the big box stores. In my state, New York,  25% or 1 in 4 business have permanently closed in the first two years of the pandemic.  Where you spend your money matter and helps keep local business in your community.  Those local business support local causes and charities because we are close to them.  As an artist, and entrepreneur,  I know what is means to put everything into my business. 

For every $100 you spend at a local business,  $68 stay in the community.

Vegetable Garden for 2023


What is my favorite day of the gardening season?  My favorite day is the 1st day digging into the garden for the the initial seeds of the season. It is about four weeks away. As we prepare for the 2023 Veggie garden, I was working on the design a few weeks ago.  As we stared some seeds, our excitement builds.  

The most important element to keeping our garden happy is the homemade compost we add to the soil every year.  happy to have soaker hoses in the gardens so the water goes only where we need it.  

Shown are a few of the early sprouts of our vegetables and Morrisonite in gold statement pendant.
