I have some news to share.

The shop is moving, and there are a few big announcements coming very soon. This next phase has been unfolding behind the scenes for a while now, and it feels good to finally say that things are shifting in a real way.

I want to take a moment to say how deeply I appreciate the support that’s surrounded this place. From familiar faces who stop in regularly, to conversations that turn into collaborations, to the many people who’ve encouraged this work from the beginning. This shop has always been shaped by community, and I’m genuinely grateful to be growing alongside so many thoughtful people.

As this transition unfolds over the next few weeks, a large portion of the shop is dramatically marked down. Shopping the sale right now directly supports this next chapter and helps fund the move and expansion that’s coming. It’s also a great time to stock up on favorites and gather what you use regularly.

More details soon. For now, just know that what’s ahead is rooted in everything that’s been built together so far, and I’m really excited about where it’s heading.

If you’re nearby, stopping in over the next couple of weeks truly means a lot. I’d love to see you and share a bit of what’s coming.

The outward movement of Aquarius begins to turn inward as we move into Pisces...toward assimilation. What’s been circulating starts to be absorbed and attention moves from exchange into experience. From talking things through to sensing what actually present. The mind loosens its grip on organizing and starts tracking subtler signals about what feels aligned, what holds weight, and what’s ready to be carried forward.

Pisces works at the level of integration. It’s less interested in refining ideas and more concerned with what remains after they’ve been lived with. This is where information becomes embodied understanding. Where experience settles into the system and starts shaping intuition, timing, and readiness. Boundaries can feel thinner here, because awareness is widening to include tone, expanded rhythm, & internal response.

This phase moves in waves rather than linear. There’s often a pull toward water, music, art, sleep, or forms of tending that allow the nervous system to integrate what’s already in motion.

Aquarius helps ideas move & pisces helps them take root. If you’re noticing this shift, it’s part of the seasonal turn. The shop has what supports this phase of the year. Teas and herbs that soothe the nervous system, mushrooms that support resilience without overstimulation, and handmade goods meant for rest, reflection, and gentle tending. You’re always welcome to stop in, wander for a bit, and gather what feels supportive right now. Open Friday through Monday, 9am-3pm 2542 US Hwy 101, just outside Seaview, next to Buoy 10 Espresso

Winter has a way of stripping things down to what actually needs tending.

For me personally, this one was heavy and demanding. It narrowed attention and made it obvious what could realistically be carried forward and what couldn’t. What stayed alive through the dark became evident, and what needed a more honest assessment came into focus.

Winter work doesn’t usually feel expansive. It often shows up as nudges of discernment and intuition, a process of identifying consistent threads while much falls away.

Now the conditions are changing, and what was held through winter is beginning to require adaptation and movement.

Here on the coast, the ground is workable and responsive. What was kept alive through winter is beginning to orient toward form, and this is the stage where tending moves outward and where environment matters. Preparation will soon turn into something tangible.

For the shop, something new is taking shape this spring. It’s rooted directly in what was learned through a difficult season, and it’s beginning to ask for space, structure, and movement. It’s not ready to be openly shared yet, but it’s close. More soon... 🫶🏼✨️

The first signs of spring show up in small, easy-to-miss ways. The light is reaching a little further into the shop in the morning and the air carries more moisture than cold. Outside the ground holds a saturated smell that comes when the soil is active again. Even when the trees still look bare, there’s movement happening beneath the surface.

This time of year always has a pretty specific feel. We're still rooted in winter, but something is shifting. Conversation are turning toward plans that are starting to take shape again. The pace hasn’t quickened fully, but it’s no longer in deep rest either.

In the natural world this is the stage where energy begins to redistribute. What was held through the colder months starts to circulate again. Roots respond first & water moves. Organisms that were conserving begin testing their edges. The landscape hasn’t committed to growth yet, but it’s preparing for it. We move through a similar process. After a season of contraction, there’s often a return of curiosity. Ideas that emerged through winter start asking for attention.

This part of the year rewards patience, the work is mostly unseen. Here, we're asked to support what’s already present and notice what’s returnig.

The shop is open today and again this weekend with the shelves still holding grounding pieces of winter alongside the first subtle shifts toward the next season. If you’ve been feeling that early movement yourself, you’re not alone in it. The land is moving the same way.

Marty Christensen was one of my very first vendors. He came into the shop when it was just getting started. He showed up with pieces he’d made from driftwood and salvaged wood he’d collected himself.

He works with wood in a way that you can tell he pays attention to the natural world. He knows the different varieties and their properties and understands how they behave. He has a real affinity for cultivation & form, it shows in his finished work.

He makes candle holders, bowls, rolling pins, trinket boxes, small mushrooms, and a rotating collection of seasonal pieces. I think his work feels like bringing a bit of the coast into your home.

I love having his work here because Marty genuinely enjoys the process of turning raw material into something another person will live with and care for. That enthusiasm is real, and it carries through his finished piece.

He also helped make this place possible early on. He's consistently offered inventory at a price that's allowed the community to come in and take something home that would last, something well made and meaningful. His and his wife’s encouragement throughout this process has mattered more than they probably know.

Marty’s work has been part of this shop from the beginning, and I’m grateful it continues to find its way into people’s homes from here.

I met Jenna several years ago in Spokane, during a period when we were both developing our own botanical products. We connected over a shared love of plants.

Her work is oriented toward recovery and resilience, helping people move through their lives fully and then return to themselves afterward. There’s an adventurous quality to how she lives that shows up naturally in what she makes. Her bath bombs & pain creams are made for recovery and evenings when the system needs to downshift and recuperate.

Jenna is a Level 2 NAHA Certified Aromatherapist, Licensed Massage Therapist, Restorative Yoga Teacher, and a Yomassage and Sports & TCM Cupping Certified practitioner.

I carry her work because I trust how it’s made. I know the intention is clean and the care is real. The product reflects the person behind it. 🫶🏼✨️

The wheel has turned again, and today is the midpoint between the beginning of winter and the beginning of spring. It’s easy to miss if we're not paying attention. The days are still cold and wet but something is certianly shifting.

We’ve moved through the long descent of late autumn, into the stillness of winter, and into the solstice itself, a time of holding and contraction where things were allowed to fall away without needing to be resolved right away, and where insight arrived ahead of movement or form.

Now the energy changes. This is the quickening. The phase where what was revealed during the descent begins to ask for form. Where insight turns toward embodiment and ideas and aspirations that surfaced in the dark start to test their weight in the light.

Imbolc carries a feeling of patience and hope, but also vulnerability. What’s emerging now is still tender. It exists more as impulse than plan, more as direction than certainty. There can be a sense of exposure here, of seeing something we care about before it’s fully ready to stand on its own.

The name itself translates to “in the belly.” A fitting image for this time of year. Life is gathering, not visible yet, but undeniably present. This is a season of self-centeredness in the truest sense of the word. Not self-absorption, but self-awareness. A turning inward to locate what’s true, what wants to grow, and what we're willing to tend over the coming year.

It's a time for listening closely to what's survived the winter and recognizing which dreams are asking for care, and which were meant to be released.

The light is returning, slowly, the ascent has begun. What we give our attention to now matters more than it seems.

Around this time of year, the frogs return and it’s one of my favorite parts of living here. My home is close enough to Loomis Lake that I can hear them clearly from my bedroom. There’s a drainage ditch that runs under my driveway, and they seem to love it there.

At dusk there’s a full chorus. It feels like living in a rainforest for a brief window of time each night. There’s a sense of abundance to it. So much life happening all at once, most of it unseen, carried only by sound. An entire world running alongside ours that we’re usually barely aware of.

I’ve always loved frogs. As a kid, I collected frog and toad trinkets. I was drawn to them without really knowing why. Something about amphibians always felt interesting to me. Hearing them now brings that same curiosity back.

When the frogs start calling in the evening, I’m usually winding down, getting ready for bed. The sound is calming, but it stirs my imagination. I wonder what their world is like, how consciousness might be expressed in a body that lives between water and land, tuned directly to temperature, vibration, moisture, & light.

Each night that I can hear them, they remind me how much is happening beyond what we see. I think attention is one of the simplest ways we can meet what’s sacred.

By observing the natural world carefully enough, we witness divinity moving through form in countless ways.

This point in the year has a pretty specific feel to it. Winter hasn’t released its hold yet, but the quality of the light is changing. There’s a sense of movement beneath the surface, though much of the land still looks sparse. Along the coast, heavy rains are still moving through, and the ground is pretty saturated. Nothing is blooming yet, but nothing feels dormant either.

What was drawn inward over the past months begins to reorganize here. Roots respond before anything visible does. Energy that's been conserved for protection starts to redistribute towards readiness.

People often feel this shift internally. After the depth of winter, attention often turns toward clearing and preparation. There’s a pull to refresh living spaces, sort what’s accumulated, and take stock of what’s actually needed. It's a practical impulse about making space for what will need tending as the year unfolds.

For many of us the focus is on maintenance, not yet momentum. It’s a time for paying attention to what’s orienting itself and supporting the body & nervous system.

The shop is open this weekend with teas for warmth, herbs for grounding and circulation, and offerings made for this early turning of the year. 🫶🏼✨️

We recently restocked Seabourne Plant Food, made by local fisherman Tim Teall, using kelp he harvests by hand right off our coast.

Kelp has been part of coastal plant care for a very long time. It’s naturally rich in trace minerals and compounds that support root development and nutrient uptake by strengthening the underlying systems that allow plants to respond well to stress.

Tim's plant potion works with the soil, supporting microbial life helping depleted or struggling plants regain nourishment.

We’ve been using it on our rehab plants in the shop, the ones that came in crispy, droopy, or rootbound, and the response has been noticeable.

If you’re tending houseplants, garden starts, or anything that’s been needing a bit of support, it’s on the shelves now. 🌿✨️

One of the things I most appreciate about this season of life is the relationships that have grown through the shop. Many of the people I get to work with now are those I’ve connected with through a shared interest in plants and the old ways of working with materials. I enjoy learning about crafts and methods I’d never encountered before, learning how things were traditionally gathered, prepared, preserved, and used, and how that knowledge still translates into modern life when it’s handled with care.

One of those people is Ivy Mulligan of The Wind and The Raven Wildcrafts. Ivy works directly with PNW plants, harvesting and preparing them in ways that honor Earth. Her approach comes from years of paying attention to the land and materials themselves.

Over time, our conversations have moved beyond products and into process, particularly how knowledge is carried through lineage and how survival patterns and cultural beliefs shape the way we relate to our bodies. Much of what she’s shared with me comes from ancestral study while paying attention to how the body actually responds rather than relying on theory alone.

A few of her itmes that I personally reach for often are her hair serum for thin hair, which has made a noticeable difference for me and smells amazing. Her pine tar soap, which cleans well and has my favorite campfire scent. And her anti-blemish face balm, which I’ve been especially grateful for during periods of stress when my skin tends to reflect it. These offerings come from someone who works with plants as living materials.

If you’re local, they’re available in the shop. Ivy and I also have some fun collaborations beginning to take shape, and I’m excited to help bring more of her work and practical plant knowledge to the peninsula.

One of the things that tends to get overlooked in modern life is basic mineralization. For most of human history, people were in regular contact with mineral-rich soil, spring water, and foods grown in living ground. The body was replenished slowly and consistently through daily life. That context has changed as soil integrity has been depleted over generations, stress demands are higher, and many people are operating with chronic mineral deficiencies without realizing it.

Magnesium is one of the most common. It’s involved in hundreds of biochemical processes, including muscle relaxation, nervous system regulation, and the body’s ability to settle after stimulation. When magnesium is low, tension lingers and sleep becomes lighter. The body stays activated even when insight or intention is present.

Topical magnesium is my favorite form of support. It bypasses digestion and works directly with the tissues that hold the most strain.

Some of my favorite products in the shop right now are the magnesium sprays made by Sabrina Renee of Havens Harmony. Available in two blends, one with cedarwood and frankincense, grounding and stabilizing. The other with lavender, cedarwood, & ylang ylang, softer and more restorative.

Sabrina’s background as a sound healer and yoga teacher shows in how these are formulated. Her work is rooted in helping the body come back into regulation through foundational support. Magnesium is one of those basics. When the body has what it needs, integration happens more naturally.

This is the kind of care that used to be woven into everyday life, offerings supportive of the whole system. If mineral support has been missing for you, these are worth taking a look at.

The shop is open Friday-Monday, 9am-3pm, 2542 US Hwy 101, just outside Seaview. Next to Buoy 10 Espresso.
