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.

For much of human history, making things was a community function. Most goods were produced locally, by people whose skills were developed over time and often passed through family lines or close apprenticeship. Knowledge lived in hands as much as in language. Materials were sourced nearby and worked with directly, shaped through repetition, attention, & experience.

Bakers worked with stored grain and potters shaped clay. Blacksmiths, weavers, carpenters, tanners, and herbalists each held a role within the larger fabric of daily life. These trades required patience and consistency, but also vision. Each maker understood how their work fit into the whole.

That pattern hasn’t disappeared but it’s certainly changed form.

Today, the materials may look different and the tools more varied, but the process is recognizable. People still take raw inputs and apply skill and imagination to bring something useful into form. Small-batch foods, herbal preparations, body care, textiles, tools, and art all follow the same process. Attention is applied, ingredients are worked together through application and time.

One example of that in the shop right now are the Love Potion simmer pots made by Shawntelle Warnstadt of Of Earth and Moon Herbals. Herbs, resins, and botanicals combined deliberately. They’re handmade in small batches with orange, cinnamon, cranberry, apple, star anise, cloves, and rose petals.

Simmer pots are hearth-based preparations found across many cultures, where plant materials are placed in water and warmed slowly to release their natural oils. Historically, they were used to lift stagnant air, and mark seasonal or domestic transitions.

If you’re feeling a personal transition, the shop is open with tools and goods meant for this time. Stop in Friday-Monday, 9am-3pm 2542 US Hwy 101, just outside Seaview, next to Buoy 10 Espresso.

As a kid, I loved I Dream of Jeannie. The story, the magic, and especially her bottle. I really wanted one of my own and spent a lot of time building pretend versions. It was a contained place to retreat into, somewhere separate from the rest of life. That image came back to me today while I was working in the back room.

Last week this space held tables and chairs for an art workshop. Clearing it out today, the energy changed. It feels less like a classroom now and more like an inner room meant to hold wisdom.

I have a mentor who taught me the self-imaging process years ago. How change comes about by working with concepts. I learned to identify the image of what I wanted to become, to gather the qualities that belong to that version, and to organize around them. I learned to notice where adaptation was needed and to adjust through reason and lived practice. That’s the process that brought this shop into form long before it existed physically. She once pointed out that imagine can be read as “I am a genie.” 🧞‍♀️✨️

Working in this room today, it made me realize that this same way of working is what shaped the space itself. An image held, organized around, and slowly made real. I’m looking forward to using this room to share that process with others who feel inclined to learn it. To offer a place where attention can turn inward, concepts can be clarified, and new images can be worked with intentionally.

More details soon. Also if you've reached out about using the space I'm working on contacting and booking eveyone this weekend. If you have an idea for use, reach out. I'd love to hear all of the ideas floating around out there.

The last few weeks have really stretched my nervous system. An accumulation of things that have required a lot of reframing and regulation have been showing up closer together than usual. When pressure increases, default patterns surface quickly, even when there’s attention on how the body is responding.

Yesterday, a friend showed up to gift me socks.

In the middle of everything feeling turbulent, it surprised me. She didn’t come to fix anything or ask me to be in a better mood. She came to check in and offer something tangible, alongside her presence.

I could feel how quickly it shifted my energy, it brought my system back into the present moment faster than any insight ever could. The mental loop I’d been in loosened.

There’s something regulating about being met where you are, without needing to translate it into something more acceptable. Simple care has a way of orienting the body again, especially when things feel unsettled and hard to name.

Moments like that matter more than we often realize. Especially in times when people are carrying more than they show. Sometimes support doesn’t look like advice or encouragement. Sometimes it looks like showing up, offering something useful, and letting that be enough.

It’s a good reminder that we rarely know what someone is carrying. Energy can feel uneven for a lot of people right now. Being willing to show up, even in a small way, can help someone feel less alone in it. Presence has weight. Sometimes more than we expect.
