Dear friend, what a month it has been!
We have loved connecting with you all over the meaning behind our new brand, and sharing with you what has been in our hearts for so long.
What a gift to be able to celebrate the gifts that art and the creative journey are together with you! We have lots of amazing new products coming this month, but are always looking for ideas on what you would love. Please let us know if you have any burning needs from your local artisan gift shop.
This newsletter features several of the exciting things happening this month, including our official brand launch party (happening TODAY!) and the launch of our new website!
 
INSPIRING US THIS MONTH
desert foraging
The beauty of our desert never ceases to inspire us. The richness of life that can come from a harsh environment speaks to us on a deep level.
As we prepared for our launch party today, we decided to forage our floral inspiration: to bring you a little taste of home, in a new way.

FROM THE HEART OF THE ARTIST
on the creative process…
As creatives, we typically have a loose vision of the outcome we hope for. Getting to that point, though, is one step at a time. I don't love all of the steps. They expose my shortcomings, impatience, and anxious tendencies. Some steps show how far I have to grow in my craft. Yet if I lean in and embrace the process, there are steps that show how far I've come. Then I take a deep breath and accept the learning because it's the sweetest gift. It keeps me humble and invites me to learn and ultimately to pursue the good.
It's an invitation to take the next step regardless of what may come. Worse case scenario, I scrap the project and start again with a learned perspective. And then, all of a sudden, there's the good on the other side of the creative process. For me, creating is full of opportunity to be generous and gracious to myself. Generosity then begets generosity, and it's from this place that I am fully able to offer my creations without holding back.
 
-Annette, THE GOOD THISTLE

THE GRACE TO WALK THROUGH EVERY STEP OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS, EVEN THE HARD ONES, ALLOWS US TO REWRITE OUR STORY THROUGH CREATIVITY.

 
 
 
Until next month (or the next time we see you in-shop),
