2026, we FINALLY made it!
2025 was a hard year for so many of us for a whole mountain of reasons. Clients and loved ones all seemed to be going through trial after trial and the promise of newer and different brings so much welcome and needed hope with it. May this year be exactly what you need- time and space to heal, grow, play and thrive.
As I’ve mentioned, I will have the privilege to turn the big 5 0 later this month and that feels pretty special to me and I will be celebrating that with all of you as well and what better way than with my favorite things- herbs.
I will be listing a new give away each Friday this month and doing a drawing on the following Monday. They’ll be on the socials or you can email me to register.
Sales- Why yes- I make the rules- so let’s run a new sale each week beginning next week - Check the Website every Monday to see the pop up announcement.
And we have the discounted classes- I’ll be closing registration for Saturday’s Class this Friday at 9:00 am and next weeks Dandelion Class on Tuesday at 9:00 am
Also remember that every class has scholarships available- reach out if you are interested.
And I haven’t forgotten the book club- our first meeting is full for in person but grab a spot online if you want to join. We’ll be discussing Circe by Madeline Miller. There will be light snacks but feel free to bring something for yourself or to share.
Now for the unpleasant part of the newsletter. Yes, everything has gotten more expensive and that goes for all of my supplies and shipping costs. They’ve been rising for awhile actually and I just accepted it last year but after the new year increases I simply can’t any longer. Hopefully the sales this month will give everyone an oppurtunity to stock up. Price changes go into effect on Feb 1st. I really do not like this but it is necessary.
