Welp… the shop has put on its finest festival dress and Becky Matulich has delivered this year’s crop of exquisitely crafted cloaks, which can only mean that tomorrow is Hobbit Day!

Please allow us to say thank you to all the wonderful people of the Vern who make this event so special.
Thanks so much for your enthusiasm.

Your pal,
Bailiwick

Dwarves!

Ents are one of our favorite characters from the LOTR series. I had always hoped for an Ewok-style spinoff, but alas, the creatives behind the films are too well rooted in their lore.

Including today, we are officially ten days to the A Middle-earth March Through Mount Vernon
Middle Earth March Through Mount Vernon event (September 19th).

Sooooo that means we will be posting a bunch of hobbit stuff.

Old Mr. Bailiwick’s will be returning with Custom Character boxes, trinket trading, c***r slushies, pins, plushies, themed bobbles and needful things, etc.

Stay tuned for a probably excessive amount of posts on the subject.

(Please accept our heartfelt apologies if it’s not your thing!)

We will be returning to our regularly scheduled programming shortly.

Welp…. The Goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) is coming on, which means autumn is approaching, and with it hay fever.

Many folk assume, or have been told, that they are allergic to Goldenrod. This is generally not the case. While ragweed is a rampant allergen, it is Goldenrod that effectively treats seasonal allergy symptoms.

We have a few formulas put together that can help with allergies of all sorts, as well as sinusitis and congestion.

Passion Flower (Passiflora incarnata) is one of our go-to herbs for calming the nervous system.

Though it can be used in a variety of ways, we generally add it to formulas that are antispasmodic or hypnotic in nature, such as our Chamomile Infusion Tea.

This one has a chamomile and passion flower primary with catnip and hops assisting.

Welp…. It’s apple picking season, and in a few short weeks, the A Middle-earth March Through Mount Vernon will be filling our streets with Hobbits.

It is my opinion that Hobbits and mulled c***r go together like peas and carrots, so I thought we’d make it available for sale.

The only problem is that Hobbit Day, September 19th, has been notoriously hot.

Our solution? Mulled c***r slushies!

Available outside the shop with a cash vendor. Right next to the Trinket Trading Station.

Available while supplies last!

Just wanted to take a moment to thank Community Roots and The Knox County Local Food Council for inviting me to give a talk about medical uses and preparation of common garden herbs yesterday. It was a lot of fun, with great questions from the group.
