We're back at Frankie’s NY Bagels !

We're running our Shop for a Cause with 20% of sales going to Clarke Historical Museum ✨️

We highlighted 3 exhibits going on NOW at Clarke.

The Victorian Era was a period of great loss, which paired with their insatiable curiosity for the unknown, lead to sweeping trends of séances, spiritualism, and the rise of occult mysticism.
Families would adopt decorative mourning jewlery, and many would also carry reminders with them that one day, they will die too.. Check out their displays of beautifully braided hairs worn as pendants or hung as art to remeber ones lost, how they would turn to the spiritual world to try and reach lost ones, and how they would learn to cope with the inevitable. 🔮💀✨️

Spider webs, spiders, Owls, and bats were seen as good fortunes or turned into talisman for good luck. We kinda took liberty on this category to show off some local species we adore 😂 BUT you can check out Owls and more in the Clarke's Bird Collection! 🦉

Touring Humboldt; The Golden Age of Redwood Highways! Scenice drives, tourist traps, and camping sights, oh my! Learn about the fascinating tourism culture that rose around this new wave of motorized tourist taking advantage of new roads to see the foreign and exciting redwood giant forests!🌲 🚗🌲

You're always bound to learn something new at the Clarke; stop in at Downtown Eureka, 240 E Street, Eureka, CA.
Open Wednesday - Sunday, 11AM - 5PM. 🤓

We're now in the Arcata Marsh Interpretive Center! 🐸 Plus two new birds to celebrate 🪽

Thank you City of Arcata , Arcata Marsh , and Friends of the Arcata Marsh for working with us, and shout out to Rob Fowler for letting us use his Marsh Wren photography on our info cards! It was the inspiration behind the exact pose we used for this little wren perched on a cattail cob singing away 🎶

Walk the trails, check out all the amazing educational displays they have in the Interpretive Center, and maybe pick up a pair of earrings 👀

THANK YOU San Diego Natural History Museum | The Nat & Bugologist.Bichólogo🦎 for such an amazing Bugfest! I had a blast showing off some of the crazy bugs and slugs and more from our Nor Cal redwoods 🌲, as well as learning about the insects of the So Cal deserts 🏜

Perks of a 3 day museum event include;
- 🐝 Getting to talk to awesome groups like the California Native Bee Society and learning that you can vote for our State bee RIGHT NOW! Check out their page or website for the link to vote, and be part of history in selecting our new state mascot!

- 🦖Exploring all the exhibits which lead to a storm of inspiration between ideas for new pieces

- ♻️ Seeing the awesome work of The Washed Ashore Project and learning more ways we can design our upcoming open studio space while staying eco

- and learning all kinds of neat stuff! Prepare for even more waves of fun facts y'all 🤣

After the event I got to swing by the San Diego Zoo for further research on our next new wave of species 🐍
I may have gotten sidetracked along the way 😅 BUT did lead to the question if we should start making pieces for critters from other parts of the world? 🤔🌎

Despite being stuck in the worse traffic on the way back, it was all worth it because the extra day lead to the successful capture of this little rascal! Dee has been keeping him fed and alive in the building since he was abandoned, and told us the little she new about his history; how he had been abandoned at least a year ago and learned how to get between the floors of the building to escape capture (and vet visits!). While this curious guy loved to poke his head out to see what we get up to, he's quick to dart away. Luckily his love of tuna got the best of him, and now he's off to the vet to get up to date on shots and care. Once he's in good health (and his wall and floor holes covered), he'll be back to start a new loving life as our studio cat 🐈‍⬛️

Thank you everyone who has made this journey possible, and I can't wait to see how things continue to unfold! Here's to many more journey with familiar and new faces, and new beginnings for our little furry friend ✨️🌿🧚‍♀️

It's official, we're moving!

We got a long journey ahead of us between repairs and putting our own bit of magic into this space, but we're excited to the share the news!
We'll be in the downstairs of this gorgeous pink Henderson building, so you just KNOW we're going to fill her windows up with all kinds of gorgeous plants and art.

It's still going to be awhile until our doors are open, but you'll definitely be seeing us scampering back and forth with our van as we make things happen.

Thank you for all the amazing support from everyone around us, this isn't something we ever dreamed of! It feels like just yesterday when Diana and I were hiking up the hillside brainstorming mushroom earrings, or doodling at the café what kind of stuff we'd want to make..

Meet the Silver Bee, also known as the Silver Digger Bee & Pacific Dune-Digger (Habropoda miserabilis). 🩶🖤🩶

These solidarity dune bees are most active from March - June when they emerge from their ground nensting burrows. They are only able to survive in restored coastal habitats with native supporting plants, such as the featured coastal sand cerbena, coast buckwheat, and sea bindweed. 🌼🌸🌸

One the challanged we face in trying to raise awareness for rare species is that there isn't always a lot of resources on them.
We've been working on these little fuzz balls off and on for almost a year, but it kept just not feeling right and would get pushed to the side for other projects. 🤔

It wasn't until a wonderful series of events from DJ Wild Ginger having us on her show with KMUD Radio where she asked us about this specific species that lead to her friend / Kevin Huntley AKA The Bug Guy reaching out! Thanks to the trained eyes of the expert himself, we were able to get the finishing details just right. AND he saved the day again by sharing his photos as reference images on the information card! ✨️

Thank you Kevin Huntley for helping make these happen, and for all the work you do protecting their environment and educating others on these little guys and a ton of other bug species of Humboldt 🫶

And shout out to all the other nature nerds out there sharing their discoveries and experience out on the field! The first step towards conservation is awareness, and the more folks who are aware, the more folks who care. ✨️🌿
