A New Year of Spreading out Roots 🌳
Season of Remembrance.
As the veil thins and the days grow shorter, many traditions turn toward remembrance.
Halloween, Samhain, and Día de los Muertos each invite us to sit with the mysteries of death, to honor our grief, and to celebrate those we’ve lost. This season, we’re making space for all of it.
Local artist Alberta Mirais will be in the shop painting custom pet memorial portraits while you browse. Just bring a photo on your phone, and she’ll create your piece while you shop. Pricing is $45-75 on a sliding scale, and each piece features one pet.
Books and Cards for Grief
We’ve restocked our shelves with books on loss and grief, including titles on pet loss and on talking with children about death. We’re also carrying the Broken Hearted Pawrents deck, designed by local artist Vex Varka, to help you explore these feelings in your own time.
Pluto’s Oddities and Altarware
The following weekend, our market space welcomes Theo of Pluto’s Oddities and Altarware, who will be vending skulls, bones, furs, and other wildlife products. Theo works with a wide network of farmers, hunters, furriers, and other animal-related sources to recover and preserve parts that might otherwise be discarded, so that nothing goes to waste.
We hope you’ll stop in to share space with us and find a treasure soon.
