As October draws to a close, I’m filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and awe. This past month was one for the books: vibrant, emotional, and full of the kind of moments that remind me why I do what I do. I had the incredible opportunity to bring Forrest & Finn to a new state, joining the Sleepy Hollow Village Market at the Philipsburg Mansion in New York. Those weekends were nothing short of magical. From the crisp autumn air to the energy of the crowd, every moment was electric. I met so many new faces, shared countless stories, and left feeling deeply inspired. Sleepy Hollow showed up in full force, and it left me dreaming of the next time I’ll be back.
Now, as November unfolds, I can feel the rhythm of busy season picking up speed. There’s a beautiful kind of chaos that comes with this time of year, filled with long days, late nights, and a heart that’s equal parts exhausted and grateful. As a one-woman show, I wish I could be everywhere at once, but I’m learning that balance is its own kind of magic. Every show, every order, every kind message from this growing community keeps me grounded and reminds me that Forrest & Finn is more than a business. It’s a shared space of creativity, care, and connection.
The final Lunar Faire of the season is just around the corner, and it feels like a homecoming. The Lunar community has become a haven for dreamers, makers, and magic-seekers, and I’m endlessly thankful to be part of it. I hope to see familiar faces and new friends alike as we close this chapter together under the November moon.
For those who love following along on TikTok, I’m planning to be live twice this month, once in the first week and again around the third, though exact dates may shift as events unfold. Keep an eye out there for updates, restocks, and little glimpses behind the scenes.
And now, on to what’s next, because November is shaping up to be full of excitement and new beginnings.

Alongside event season, I’m thrilled to share that the entire crystal side of the business will finally be launching online by the end of the month. Carvings, specimens, tumbles, and more will soon be available for everyone to explore. This has been such a long time coming, and I can’t wait for you to see the full collection.
Finally, mark your calendars for November 10, when new apothecary products will be making their debut online: two brand-new room sprays, the much-loved Wild Healer Balm, and one surprise addition that I can’t wait to reveal.
As always, thank you for being here, for reading, supporting, sharing, and believing in what Forrest & Finn stands for. This season may be busy, but it’s also brimming with gratitude, growth, and light. Here’s to a beautiful November ahead.
With love and intention,
