the happiest season of all seasons on the farm is here & we are absolutely giddy! hello, spring! we’ve missed you & your fluffy chicks. 

this weekend we welcomed sixty new chick babies to the farm! our farm is growing & we love it. with each day, the rhythm of the farm becomes more manageable, leaving a bit of space to actually enjoy this place we call home.

soon those happy girls will be laying eggs for our dear customers!

we’ve been working on new packaging for our farm eggs. the sweet brittany of brittany lauren design sent us a custom rubber stamp for our egg cartons!

she offers a wide variety of stamps from address stamps to monogram stamps. it was so much fun & such a joy to work with brittany to create a stamp that reflects our farm values & eclectic style. 

we cannot wait to surprise our customers with our new packaging!

and because brittany is sweet as can be, she is offering a monogram hen stamp for your own stationery & tags to one lucky natalie creates reader!

sometimes i get the itch to make.

that itch usually hits in the late hours of the evening & well into the wee morning hours. thankfully, as i was brainstorming what to gift my dear friend wendy’s baby on the way, i was hit with the desire to make her babe a mini tutu & headbands during a snow day.

bless the snow day.

as the snow flakes fell & covered the ground, i sewed up a couple of headbands from my shop in various tiny baby sizes. be still, my heart. i brought out the felt, made little rosettes & adorned those wee headbands. i. can’t. even. 

wendy is the mama of two little boys so we all squealed in delight when we found out she was having a girl. so naturally, all little girls need tutus. 

i cut up strips of tulle & tied them to the band of elastic. it was such a simple project & took me about one hour. here’s a similar tutorial!

i found those cute storage bins at target for $1 each. i love gifting storage bins that the recipient can reuse (tip: neutral color bins make it easier for them to match their current decor colors)! i placed everything in the crate with sheets of tissue paper & tied the gift with a big burlap bow (ribbon from hobby lobby). 

the pop-up craft party with poppy in columbia, missouri was a huge success!

we have deep roots in columbia so it was such a gift to craft with so many dear friends. i absolutely love that sweet community & consider it an honor to have partnered with poppy, an amazing shop in the downtown area.

the craft party was paired perfectly with true/false, our very favorite documentary film festival that we attend every year. i love watching as the town comes to life with art, music & film!

our little craft party was a nice addition to this year’s festival. in-between films, gals popped in to craft & chat!
