Hello, friends! I have a couple of updates about the shop. I have raised prices. If you’ve been here for a while, you’ll know I hate to have to do that especially when times are so tough for everyone. The truth is, with the cost of materials and shipping going up, the old prices I established just weren’t making sense anymore. For now, I am still offering free shipping on orders in the US over $35. I hate to say it, but Etsy penalizes you if you don’t. I was losing money over shipping costs, though. Raising prices was really the only way for me to recoup. I hope all of you will understand. Secondly, I am no longer accepting returns. With the state of the postal service in this country being what it is, it’s a risk I can’t really justify logistically or financially anymore. Again, I don’t make these decisions lightly. I know times are hard. My family is feeling the pinch just like I know so many of you are. I don’t love doing this, but some changes needed to be made. Thank you for your attention, your continued support, and your understanding.

The stance of this shop presented unapologetically and without invitation to argue. I.C.E. and their supporters are not welcome here, and I certainly do not create for them.

Small Business Saturday is here! This is the perfect time to show the small creators you love some extra support while finding wonderful gifts for all the folks on your list. In honor of the day, I just dropped some wonderful new designs in the Etsy shop, and I am running a little sale on everything else. It’s my way of saying thank you for letting me do what I do. I really cherish the ability to create for a living and every picture, message, review you all send of my work being enjoyed and loved in the wild fills my heart to the brim. Thank you.

Also, I know things are tight for a lot of folks this year. If you can’t purchase from small businesses like mine there are other ways you can show your support!

1.) Follow their social media pages.

2.) Engage with their posts. A like and/or comment goes a long way! Tagging your friends and fam is a great help too.

3.) Share their posts far and wide. Boost their work wherever you can!

4.) Leave positive feedback. Buy something for a great indie creator that you love? Take the time to write a review letting everyone know how awesome it is!

Supporting small businesses helps sustain our communities and make the world a better place. Thank you for helping this holiday season and every day!

So I dropped the ball a little on releasing new pieces. Family visited who we haven’t seen in a while, and I took a bit of a pre-holiday break to enjoy that. Nevertheless, I am back, just dropped some new styles, and the shop is chugging full steam for your holiday gifting. Included in this drop are some Southwest inspired designs I made as an homage to my time living in the Sonoran Desert, a place that is and will always be very dear to me.

I have more designs I plan to drop this weekend, so make sure you follow the Bee and the Snake on Etsy so you’ll know exactly when they go up!

Greetings, everyone! It’s been a while, but I have returned with new stock! I’m doing things a little bit differently this holiday shopping season with the shop update. I have a bunch of awesome new designs that I’ll be releasing every week in mini updates throughout November. So make sure you’re checking back regularly with the shop to see all the fun new stuff I have coming your way! I also dropped a ton of restocks y’all have been requesting for a while, so make sure you give those a look too. As always, thank you so much for supporting my shop and being patient while I got this long-awaited update together. It’s been a wild year. I am wishing you all a happy holiday season, and I look forward to helping you check off some spots on those gift giving lists!

P.S. The designs pictured here are among the ones ready for their new homes. Go snag them before they’re gone!

I can’t believe we are already over halfway through June! Couldn’t let the month slip by without wishing you all a happy Pride! I know it’s scary out there, but keep going and love each other even harder. We’ll get through this together. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Greetings from the PNW! Our move was a success and we are settling into our new home nicely. I have also reopened the shop. Thanks for being patient, and thanks for your support. ❤️
