These are going to @laurenmillsart - she’s a real life fairy, people. She’s illustrated many books with her beautiful, magical drawings, and has a big art show coming up #illuxcon2019 These will be her dress shoes as her others are getting worn in. 💗 #farmshoeshandmade #handmadeshoes

Playing with portrait mode 🤣 Brown sneaker with medium brown laces and taupe suede topsole, natural crepe rubber bottom sole. #farmshoeshandmade
There are 384 holes to punch in a pair of sneakers (with hand stitched, natural rubber crepe soling). Just in case you were up at night, wondering... 🌙😑. edit: +20 lace holes 🙄
Stamping soles today working on Garlic &Arts Festival orders! Thanks so much, everyone who came by, whether you ordered or not (and extra thanks if you ordered!) I appreciate all the support and encouragement. Amazing how many people have handmade shoes 10-15 years old, some older! They just keep getting better. And being sewn together it’s pretty easy to resole them 🥾 Now back to work! #slowfashion #handmadeshoes #handmadeboots #barefootshoes #barefootshoes #minimalistshoes #minimalistboots #farmshoeshandmade #
Our neighbor grew peanuts! I knew they could be grown around here and maybe my husband has grown them on his old farm but I have never actually seen them! Amazing. The little minis that don’t make nuts are called “pops”!
Morning Glories are finally opening!! Can’t wait til the whole garden wall is in bloom! 💙💙💙💙💙 And yes, Katy-did-it

Happy Fall ❤️
Camouflaged... but we’re here! #northquabbingarlicandartsfestival today! Come try on shoes and boots and stock up on 4 Thieves Spritzers for winter! We’re behind the maple caramels... heading up towards the food on the back side of everyone else! Hope you find us! #shoemaker #handmadeshoes #farmshoeshandmade #handmadeboots #minimalistboots #minimalistshoes #barefootboots #barefootshoes #madeinwesternmass
My booth at the #northquabbingarlicandartsfestival Fun fun day and sooooo tired. Eating popcorn and going to bed 💤 Thanks everyone for coming out! 🙏🏼🍁🍂
Getting ready for the #garlicandartsfestival in Orange, MA this weekend! It’s a super fun festival- I’m not usually much of a festival person... but I’ll have a booth with a little bit of my #birchmoonherbals bodycare and lots of sandals and boots to try on and order! Bring cash cuz I’m not taking credit cards or checks! Shoes orders require a $60 deposit if you’re picking them up or paid in full if I’m shipping them (free shipping!). Cash only. Dm me for pricing if you already have plans to order. 🍂🍁 It’s gonna be a beautiful weekend! 🍁🍂🍁
At different stages of drying. Also trying different stitching and no back tab/heel cover or eyelets... Like it better this way or in the last photo (the previous pair of boots)? I’m open to opinions but will probably offer any combination at the Garlic and Arts Festival in Orange, MA this weekend. Cash only so if you’re ordering a pair remember to bring $$$ 😅 Thanks everyone, hope you’re having a good week. 🍂🍁🌺🍁🍂 #handmadeboots #minimalistboots #shoemaker #madefromscratch #farmshoeshandmade

I turned 47 yesterday. Wow. Never thought I’d make it this far 🤣 I’m learning how to manage my stress the older I get, and I can say I’m truly happier than I’ve ever been. I really believe life gets better with age. Don’t believe the stories that it doesn’t. Or that you get “old”. You’re only as old as you feel. Definitely some anxiety sneaks in but I’m following my heart and quieting my head, practicing daily. And bike rides ☺️ Also lucky to have the most amazing and supportive husband and grown kids I could ever imagine. ❤️ Happy Autumn everyone 🍂🍁🍂
@nofamass is hosting a low boot making class with this moccasin style stitching, Nov. 9! I’ll be teaching. You’ll make a custom fitted pair of boots, for YOURSELF! We’ll be working hard to get them done by 6pm but it should be fun! Ages 9 and up. Just need hand strength (for cutting and punching a LOT of holes), and patience (for sewing). Class won’t be here at the farm but will be in Montague, a little more central. Sign up thru NOFA on their website events page. https://www.nofamass.org/events/make-your-own-barefoot-boots 🦋🐝🐸 #shoemaker #handmadeboots #minimalistboots #bootmakingworkshop #shoemakingworkshop #minimalistshoes #northeastorganicfarmingassociation #westernmass
Playing around with some lavender drawings on my new stitch down boot design. (Haven’t finished the sole edges yet). I’ll have some of these at the Garlic and Arts Festival next weekend! #customboots with custom herb or flower drawings! Blending my two worlds together ☺️💜 . #herbalboots #handmadeshoes #herbalheeler #farmshoeshandmade #garlicandartsfestival #barefootboots #barefootshoes #northquabbingarlicandartsfestival #minimalistshoes #minimalistboots
Oat flour biscuits and applesauce with (lots of) butter 💕 Inspired fully by @meg_t_justice_art . You should check out her artwork, it’s AMAZING. . And loving the view windows in our new cookstove! Feels so extravagant to see the food cooking and the beautiful flames 🔥
