This piece has become something I never expected.
The Cardinal and the Vine has been selling faster than I can make them, with customers graciously willing to wait 2–3 weeks to receive theirs. I’m incredibly humbled by the response this piece has received.
But even more than the orders, it’s the messages that have stayed with me — the texts, emails, and even the occasional phone call sharing how this piece has helped someone feel connected to a loved one they’ve lost.
That kind of meaning is hard to put into words, and I’m deeply grateful for every single one of you who has supported my work and shared your stories with me.
