Sick Day

I had a great time at the South Austin Urban Farmers Market last Saturday and hope to make an appearance again this weekend. I almost sold out of my new moisturiizng shea butter soap - so pounce early this Saturday to get your own bar. It's the most divine soap i've ever used and hope to make a few more batches as soon as i can get an order of supplies filled.

(Yes, i misspelled moisturizing. Just pretend i mean it makes you moister than other soap)

I've been feeling rather under the weather lately. Some combination of mold allergies, seasonal allergies, and allergies to very cute and heavily shedding corgi puppies......
I'm completely stuffed, can't taste the delicious food i've been cooking, can't sleep, and can't deal with it anymore! Sadly in order for me to afford health insurance i carry a high deductible policy that covers nothing much until i've spent $5,000. I can almost afford the low premium, but not much else. So i don't go to the doctor. Luckily i'm rarely sick and haven't had a cold in over 5 years. I just hate that in order to afford health insurance i can't afford to go to the doctor. I really wish health care would pay you back for being a healthy person. Sorry: i won't go into that particularly controversial topic on this blog - but you get the idea of my angst.

Long story short, i have some projects piling up in the studio and my building fatique due to sleepless nights of mouth breathing causes me to need a little break. I'll try and continue posting some shorter posts here, but expect a slightly less motivated and involved farm mama for the next few days.

On the positive side: kale, calendula, beets oh my! Germinating babies in the gardens make me happy! I'll post about my fall gardening schedule on Thursday. Any requests for wholesome wednesdays this week?

Bringing it To The Public!

I have an exciting announcement to all my local readers - my husband and I will have a small booth at a new urban farmer's market in south Austin this Saturday.  You can get a preview of some of the things we'll have available at our joint website, The Relic Jar. I'll have some of those lovely multiplying onions for sale as well as some chives for cooking or transplanting and some freshly picked herbs. Pocket the puppy will be in tow - so don't miss your chance to meet her, me, my husband and our creative wares.

I hope to see you there! Parking will be dicey, so please find a side street perpendicular to Manchaca.
