This time of the year is dedicated to working in my garden where the ingredients for my creative momentum thrive.

I have a few new necklaces and products hitting Persnickety by Jen Farley in time for your weekend shopping alongside my loose leaf tea blends; full of medicinal benefit and seasonal herbs grown and cultivated by me!

If you haven’t been by, consider it a MUST! It’s one of the most finely curated shops on this side of the Mississippi!!

A limited selection of products are also available at It's Raining Zen & Terra Luna!

Revealing a creative momentum through the means of Mother Nature over here at Simmer and Stitch with these rain showers!

While we let Mother Nature do her thang in the gardens, providing abundance that will morph into teas and simmer pots this Fall, help me purge my current stash over here at Persnickety by Jen Farley !

Medicinal tea blends to sooth your soul, hand embroidery that will make you want to put it in a time capsule and random homestead goods like heirloom seed packets give you a little insight of the vibe Simmer and Stitch likes to keep.

Support the small artisans of your community and your small businesses with a vision!!
