Pop up today in Orange, ma at the Garlic Fest location! Small stage with open mic, bring a picnic and water! It’s hot out! 💕🧡🌻
Wet shaping some shoes 😌 See my story for details (colors).
Pop up at Forsters Farm, the #garlicandartsfestival site, this Saturday! Not a Garlic Fest at all (18-20 vendors) but a small event to get together and support local artists and businesses. ✨And a great way to try on my sandals and boots if you’re local to check your size before ordering. ✨☺️
Dakota Chocolate open-toe sandals with brass buckle. Barefoot style- no heel. Love how these turned out!
Dance sandals in soft, lined butterball chocolate brown. Shipped out today! #farmshoeshandmade #barefootsandals #minimalistshoes #ilovemyjob #farmlife #makerslife
A nice coral rose color for sandals- I made these for samples (so people could try them on in each size at shows) but decided to keep em myself. Something about this color! Not listed with my other colors as it is a bit more work and needs to be lined but let me know if you’re interested 🌺
Sandal soles for Tracy and Andrea 🌿 thanks beautiful humans 💕 I love making these!
Love how we go to friends’ farms and my brain gets completely quiet 🧘🏻‍♀️ People say that when they come to our farm but all I see is unfinished projects 😂 Does this happen to you?
Goldenrod tea gives the most relief (to me) from Ragweed allergies that I have found. Itchy throat, sneezing attacks, mostly itchy throat (haha that’s my most annoying symptom). I am SOOO grateful to learn of this plant growing all over my fields ☺️ Goldenrod often gets blamed for Ragweed allergies but it is not an airborn pollen- it is pollinated by bees (and beetles, bugs, maybe butterflies? Anyone?) just pick some flowers, put in a mason jar or teapot (or very cool tea infuser from @mountainroseherbs ) fill with boiling water, cover, steep 20 min-2 hours and drink! Let me know if this does anything for you. For me, it’s THE BEST.
Some photos from the process.
Color choices for sandals! This is not perfectly how I’d like to display/post them but just caught myself in a bad habit of attempted perfection (and inaction) so here goes! Open toe sandals are available in any of these colors, with the lighter topsole (veg tanned leather). Choose brass or silver buckle.
I’m so honored to make sandals for the beautiful and talented @sparrow__co ! You should see the linen overalls she makes. They’re gorgeous. I honestly wear mine at least 3 days a week- they are super comfy & cozy ♥️ and she makes them herself! #slowfashion
