Stories from a practice of wonder
This space holds longer reflections from my creative life — stories of gatherings, food, ceramic vessels, and moments of wonder as they’ve unfolded over time.
Some posts document gatherings I’ve hosted. Others explore the philosophies, questions, and quiet observations that shape my work. Together, they form a living archive of a practice rooted in generosity, imagination, and care.
This is not a schedule or an announcement board. New entries appear when they’re ready — when there’s something worth sharing, rather than something to produce.
If you’re looking for recipes, behind-the-scenes notes, or ways to wander alongside me more closely, my Patreon page is where most of that ongoing work now lives. This space remains open as a record of what has been, and a place where future stories may eventually take root.
Whether you’ve arrived here by chance or intention, I’m glad you found your way.
Lady Fern’s Soiree
Have you ever dreamed of finding an invitation in the woods inviting you to a fairy party?
Imagine walking through the forest and spotting something strange: a single purple fern growing in a patch of green. You step closer, curious—and that’s when you see it: a handwritten invitation to a secret dinner party.
It sounds like a fairytale, but for a few lucky wanderers near Eugene, Oregon, it was real. On May Day, they joined Lady Fern herself for a twilight feast beneath sparkling crystallized seedpods, celebrating the return of spring with a menu of all-purple foods, each dish flavored by the forest around them.
This gathering was part botanical homage, part edible spell—a gentle disruption of the everyday. Created as a gift for the curious, it asked nothing in return but wonder.
