We walked out of Cypress Moon Studios, after watching our friend star in Pride and Prejudice, into perfect night air. Light glinted off of the massive Tennessee river, rows upon rows of giant trees silhouetted beyond it looked like mountains, and the air was scented with floral and river notes. Perfect humidity and warmth embraced us as we walked cheerfully....

I wove this beautiful shawl last week. It sold the next day. Faux fur and thick copper colored yarn and a warp of variegated black and white created quite a stunning piece.

The shawl’s owner found us at the Belle Mont Celtic Festival. I hope she enjoys her shawl!

Of course now that my husband painstakingly created 35 new labels for me, ordered me a banner, my business cards came, I bought the domain name, I am now second guessing my name! There's just so many good names out there for me! 🤣 My second apothecary, White Wolf Medicine, owned by my daughter, Shyanne, turns nine years old this year! I could be White Wolf South!

Maybe something in honor of my owls? ...or I could be sensible and just keep Grammie's Apron. I probably should just do that so not to irritate my sweet IT husband. (But in the end, y'all know it's just me no matter what crazy name I come up with! I do love a good name.)
