I’ve been meaning to make a post that highlights all the wonderful new things we’re creating. Yesterday, we attended Arts in the Park through Concord Arts Market - which held so many opportunities to share as well! But sitting here in our hammock, all I want to do is talk about our yard. 😆
it’s not actually that random though. Our yard is a very wonderful representation of the life we are aiming to lead. There is a very specific balance between the grass that is mowed, and that which is left untouched. We have an imprint on this space, which harmonizes with nature’s hand. It is about being intentional and thoughtful while remembering that we make a mark.
Buttonwood is a deep expression of human-meets-nature, too. Stitched patches of vintage wool added to new hats. Hand-drawn stickers that are designed on an iPad. Natural stones strung on leather cording that we ordered from another state. We have a big commitment to keeping our impact light, while also making choices that allow our business to exist. It’s a fine line and also an extremely important one.
So, yes, the booth photos and new product peeks are good to share! But so is a glimpse into what inspires Buttonwood to work hard. I walk through our meadow paths and think deeply about the balance that is needed to live the life we do. Some of it comes naturally. Some of it requires shaping. Some of it thrives without effort. Some of it fades, regardless of the work that was done.
Just like these fields: what is meant to grow, grows. And when effort is given without expectation, it’s hard to be disappointed. 💚
