we have not posted as often as I should so i’m getting right on that. Life has been buzzing at a rapid pace around our blessed space, see I have even been writing a bit so note the rhyme😉
The tallow products are continuing to be so popular , Fresh batches are constant . I have also challenged myself to sort the trunks and trunks of antique linens, fabrics ect . The result is a great selection for mixed media artists, junque journals of course my new friends, the “slow stitchers”.i love every piece of antique fabric, floss, lace that I have collected but it’s time to share♥️these two antique sewing baskets are my greatest treasures, both from norway. one belonged to my gramma, the other gifted to me on moms and my first trip over from sweet Anna Bakken.Do any of you have and treasured things that you use daily?

Our favourite time of year, everything, the colours, the smells in the mountains , the knowledge that soon the pace will slow down. We are still harvesting root medicines , herbs that continue to give, seeds , barks and berries. We lost a really dear friend recently , over 40 years is a long time, the sting is like a family member, we miss him , have truly felt his presence during the fall harvest 😉. I seem to be making all things elderberry this fall, third batch of syrup bottled , teas re stocked and the freeze dryer is on batch 7, they were bountiful this year. The tallow balms are restocked with new sizes , new herbal blends , labeling those tommorow. Off to star gaze from the hot tub for a bit. stay cozy friends , the fire at the lair is daily now( thanks dan).

Thank you also Alyssa for your help , support and being a part of this wild ride we are having at The Crows Lair. Thank you again Hester Creek for hosting us artisans, your venue is spectacular.

Hello Friends
feeling so grateful for cousin Cheryl Tomlin gift to our space, this stunning lamp, it’s so happy here!

Maggie booked up so quickly her first week back. we are booking again starting Sunday . you can message the crows Lair , text 250 498 9174.
I am harvesting herbs for the fourth time this season . i was reading a memoir of a pioneer and here is an interesting thought. Bountiful and early harvest meant an early , hard winter. That is incentive to keep the freeze dryer humming and fill every jar ! Enjoy your bonus days in your gardens friends
