Gonna be a long one folks, strap in....

As the dark hours lengthen and the cold weather sets in, it's a perfect time to reflect on the year that is wrapping up.
Last year, I decided to take my fledgling business in a whole new direction. I love the local markets, but I decided to try my hand at the Renaissance faires and festivals I love so much. I didn't know how to sign up, how to get my name known, or even what faires were out there but I learned.... and I learned quickly. Honestly, there's still much to learn!

What a rush this past year has been!!! I've traveled to states I've never been before! I've driven further than I thought I could... and all while pulling a trailer. Oh yeah, I even "learned" how to drive (and back up) with a trailer... although I completely admit, I still need work 😅 Camping has just become a basic function of life now. There have been rejections, and there have definitely been failures along the way, but I made it through the year with my tent (mostly) still intact. (IYKYK) This kind of life is not for everyone, but I am loving it!

None of this would have been possible without some key people giving this little business of mine a chance at their events and for that I am sooo very thankful. I'm also so thankful for the people and friends I've met and made! Many took the time to show me tips and tricks, to have meals together, or just to pass the time! This really goes out to all of you! I look forward to seeing you again in 2026!

And a very special thank you to my husband, Scott, who keeps me sane (there may be debate out on that one), and really helps keep this dream of mine alive! From loading and unloading, listening to my rants when things go screwy, learning the ropes and running local shows, and keeping our home together while I'm gone. If it weren't for his support, this wouldn't be a reality.

Perfect opportunity to shop for everyone on your holiday list in one place! Plus, with the advantage of having gift wrapping on site, you save countless hours you didn't have anyway! And who doesn't love supporting small businesses at the same time?
Vermont Gatherings

Watch over the next week or two for previews of what I'm bringing!

I have a little break coming up while I prepare for this really fun event...and a few others this November!

Save the date! Our annual Holiday fair it's coming soon. Lots of returning and new vendors. Plus a grand raffle, and High-End raffle. Bake Sale and lunch will be provided by Smithsonian Chowder House.

Off to in Rome NY for the weekend! Very excited for this faire and for seeing some friends I've made this year! It's my second-to-last ren faire for the season.

Next month, the weekend before Halloween, I have the privilege to participate in the Delaware Renaissance Faire. This will be the furthest I've traveled with Hobbit Hollow Herbals, but I know I will be surrounded by friends once there! ❤️

I firmly feel it is very important for small businesses to lift one another up, and show support in whatever ways we can. Something as simple as a shout-out or a like on social media helps. So with that in mind, I am trying to be more active in supporting the farmers and businesses around me by mentioning the wonderful items I use from them. Hopefully you will look up some of them for some of your own needs!

This wonderfully, rainy (yes this is much-needed rain so I will rejoice in the replenishment of the earth) Wednesday, I decided chowder is needed. Every part of this delicious, hearty pot of chowder has been supplied by our local farms (except the crushed black pepper).

Onions and parsley are from right here at Hobbit Hollow.
Garlic is from Southampton MA
Chicken bone broth from Easthampton, MA
Silver Queen corn from Granby, MA
Potatoes are from Granby, MA
Bacon is from Warwick, MA
Raw milk from Montgomery, MA

Go out and spread some ❤️ today!

One of the perks of being a vendor at is that you can grab the local ingredients you need while working! Thanks to some beautiful garlic from Whale Rock Farm and a supply of delicious local honey from Still River Homestead, I now have a wonderful natural medicine in the works to get us thru this upcoming winter!

Opened up my booth this morning for day 2 of the Appleseed Fair, grabbed my sign that I put away in my booth last night... only to find this. Sitting right on top. No clue how it got there. Did not see it last night when I closed up.

A white feather... a symbol for hope, strength, positivity. Some say a feather left is a message from the other side.

Whatever the intention is... it has put a smile on my face and I am ready to have a beautiful day! ❤️

Beautiful, sunny morning! On my way out to Phillipston MA! It's a perfect day for Appleseed Fair. We will be there all weekend (including Monday! ) from 10-6. It's just $15 per car which is all being donated to the Athol/Phillipston firefighters association. A great cause paired with a day full of fun!
