As if I didn’t have enough on my plate, I have decided to take on a new venture. I’m (hopefully soon) going to be opening up an eclectic, geeky, odd hobby type shop. I’m not promising greatness, because I move slow and have a bunch of kids and animals to take care of around here. But, I do hope that you’ll consider taking a look.
Proceeds from my shop will go towards my future surgeries. (I haven’t met with a surgeon yet since elective surgeries are not an option right now. Once the world is safer again, I will post updates.) But anyway, for an idea of what to expect, here’s what I will be selling.
- Jewelry
- Pressed flower resin necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
- Bug jewelry! Using whatever specimens I find already dead. I will not be killing bugs for the sake of jewelry.
- Other resin collectibles
- Guitar picks
- Paperweights
- Bioactive terrarium supplies
- Fresh Oak leaf litter
- Acorn tops (can also be used for crafts)
- Lava rocks
- Sweetgum tree pods
- Misc. seedlings, seeds, etc.
- Bugs!
- Darkling beetles (mealworm or superworm) breeding starter kits
- Dubia roach colony mini starter kits
- Geek/ Other
- Wands! That’s right, I’m working on some homemade wands. And I’m not talking about chopsticks covered in hot glue. I’m talking real branches; sanitized, sanded, carved and stained. Can be customized.
- Custom cards: Times are tough, and not everyone handles things with grace. Sending a card is not just a thing of the past! Sending a unique card tailored to someone suffering from depression, anxiety, or literally anything else can make them feel like they are not so alone.
My mind is blanking and that’s all I can remember of what I’ve got going on, (you should see my bedroom… aka work space) but if you have any suggestions, let me know!
