Should i source more cute pots like these or do you prefer the more subtle pots? Last year i sourced a bunch of owls but they honestly weren't that popular 🤷

While Hershey Pride is on hiatus this year, we *do* have a pride themed workshop with our nod to "The Lavender Menace" this Sunday at The Vineyard and Brewery at Hershey and there's still time to join us!😉

*While it may not be a lot, we donate 5% of profits from PRIDE themed goods and workshops to lgbt+ organizations each June. This year, we'll be donating to GLO Harrisburg. ❤️

This question is going to sound a little odd, but its legitimate...How do i give faire buyers confidence that things are handmade?

There is a pretty growing rage in the faire community about imported art, generic 3d prints, and feeling duped by factory pieces marketed as handmade. If youre on this page, you know my tiny flowers are handmade, and many of you have been an "apprentice for a day" and made them yourselves! But when walking the booths, a thousand tiny flowers can make you question that. Is sitting there making them enough to convince you they're artisan? Do you need a poster of assurance? How do you find your faith in an artist?

Nicole Parrish of Sound of the Forest is one of my favorite artists- she both makes gorgeous realistic nature art and infodumps about insects. This insect tea party for PRIDE is a beautiful thing ❤️

Tell me about your favorite fantasy cons!

In the coming year we're looking at bringing workshops to more conventions (where workshops are already normal and expected). Fantasy fans are 'our people' and we love to come to you! Because im not an all-day crowds girlie, my con knowledge is limited, but one of the great things about workshops is i get to pop in for a limited time and pop out before they get overwhelming ❤️

At the moment, I'm looking at bringing copper dragons to fantasy cons nearby - we're looking at Dragon con, ZenKaiCon, Mythicon, and more- tell me about these conventions, tell me about others that you love, what cons need more workshops?
