Big, BIG things are happening.
My son left for the Army and I sold it all! The property, the horses, the tack.
EVERYTHING.
I bought a used RV and decided it was high time I followed my promptings.
Im walking on faith!
Follow along here or on TikTok to see where this journey takes me...and my 3 dogs!

Starting to feel a shift??
Have you heard a rumor that the shop is closing??
There certainly have been a few changes with the shop lately. BUT, THE SHOP IS NOT CLOSING.
Over the the last 10 months, I've been able to feel out what our community wants, what I want and what doesn't cost me a big loss to offer.
In a major plot twist, I was sent down the unexpected path of Natural Healing and Apothecary products.
No, I dont mean peddling commercial junk.
I mean walking through our local woods, on my own 2 feet, foraging and creating amazing healing products like powerful tinctures and healing body butters.
No mads processed junk. No commercialized, filler riddled gimmicks.
Just God given, straight from the earth, healing.
I have found this brings me happiness, makes me feel reconnected to my late Mother and has changed my personal health journey.
I feel so passionate about this calling, that I am selling nearly everything, including my home, and hitting the road to harvest nationwide to create even more options to offer locally.
So what does that mean for the shop? GROWTH!
NO, THE SHOP IS NOT CLOSING. IT IS REBRANDING.
* The "sparkles" portion of the shop will be eliminated, clearing all that awesome jewelry out to make room for the Apothecary products.
* Instead of freeze dried candy options, the freeze dried products will be centered around more nourishing options.
* New and used tack sales will be eliminated but options for Clean/Oil/Polish services and basic repair services will remain.
Be sure to follow the page for adventure updates, recipes, understanding how things work and sneak peaks into the corners of the US where Natural pharmacies are living, waiting to be noticed!
Here's to a new beginning, not an end! β€οΈ

Played with a gluten free muffin recipe and created a new favorite!
I personally used fine almond flour (I added xantham gum) and used honey as the sweetener. I also added blueberries and baked for about 30 minutes to firm up the center a bit more.
