Fungi vessels 🍄

Happy holidays everyone! ✨️🎄
I really hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season.

I feel so blessed for the support that I’ve had with my business and I know I've made lots of changes!!

Those that understand business growth and the challenges of self employment, as well as being a full time maker, have been especially kind to me!! You kept me going when I had moments of doubt.

I moved to Wilton because I could see something much bigger than
Empty storefronts, people with entrepreneurial ideas and the hope of collaboration!
For those that have stuck with me,
It's been a ride!
I'm not finished yet!!✨️☺️♥️🎄🎁

Hours:
By appointment Mondays, Tuesdays, Friday and Saturday.

🎄🎁🎄🎁🎄🎁🎄🎁
Friday and Saturday hours beginning November 28
9-4 (or later if requested)

2 Upcoming Holiday shows
first weekend in December
@wayneholidaystroll
@waynegeneralstore
@braidedstreamstudio
@marybethmorrison7522

Before and After...swipe through

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8DaYHwL/

5 years since I purchased the Fiddlehead cannery.

I build, I dance, I create here.

GRATEFUL doesn't encompass the feelings 🥰🥳🎊🌞

I had a VISION!

I put in loads of time, lots of hard work, and hired carpenters who could execute my vision.

And let's not overlook a fabulous community of people who attend and co-create with me that have helped make this grow into what it is today.

And I'm still envisioning more!

I hope you realize -YOUR DIRECT SUPPORT at the store, and Belle is what BUILT THIS.

I'm proud of this endeavor-you BET!

On a whim, I moved to Maine, trusting the process.

Then...I opened a store, and trusted the process.

Then... I moved the store againand again-moving to Wilton

And I trusted the process.

Each time, trusting the little voice that said "keep going " and knowing. Just knowing.

This doesn't happen overnight. It's often 2 steps forward, 3 steps back.

What I've probably never told people is that I've had this vision for over 25 years. Pinch me!! It's happening!!

When I look back- I CAN HARDLY BELEIVE IT!!

YAY!!!!!

Classes were HOT! Everyone did an excellent job! We learned several fundamental techniques.

Classes were HOT! Everyone did an excellent job! We learned several fundamental techniques.

Here's the deal...
Many of you have told me for years to move into my studio, but now it's my idea😂🫣😎😂😂
So...things are changing up.

👻There are a couple of things to consider if you're bringing children. (Which are welcome, I mean, I offer kids classes😉🌻❤️and absolutely enjoy curious minds...!)
I'll have kids' books out for looking through. 😊🦋

***Children must be supervised AT ALL TIMES *KEEP hands to yourselves. Things are fragile, and people have spent a lot of time working on pieces that are in the studio. look with your eyes

*WALK. No running.

*No playing in the studio.

*Stay on pathways and driveway and OFF the sculptures in the gardens.

Saturday 10-5
Light snacks.

* Park along the tree-lined driveway, up against the tree stumps or
there's parking behind the building, and you can walk up the side of the building if you prefer.
*street parking and walk down
*parking lot at Kineowatha for play and walk over

I'm looking forward to seeing you.
