💨 HOLY WIND, EH?! 💨
It wasn’t in our forecast but that wind really kicked our butts today!
💨
I know you have a lot of choices for how to spend your Saturdays so THANK YOU ALL for choosing to spend a wee bit of your day with me despite the wind!
💨
If you haven’t guessed by now, I enjoy our conversations as much as I do sharing my items! Have a great rest of your weekend — cheers!

🍁 COMING TO FALL FEST! 🍁
Drummond Maple Garlic Seasoning!
This amazing seasoning blend pays homage to our Island’s rich maple sugaring heritage by blending real maple sugar with bold, savory, and hearty spices — including my own dehydrated green onions!
🍁
How can you use it? Number one in my book — Baked Bacon! That’s right — Bake thick-cut bacon at 400°F on parchment, flat with no overlap, for 6-10 minutes, then sprinkle with Drummond Maple Garlic Seasoning and bake 4 minutes more. Pure lusciousness!
Other suggestions:
🍁 This maple-garlic blend is great on sweet potatoes, baked beans, brussels sprouts, and squash.
🍁 Perfect for roasted chicken
🍁 Makes great popcorn
My Drummond Maple Garlic Seasoning delivers an unbeatable balance of sweet and savory flavors.
🍁
Available at Saturday’s Fall Fest Artisans & Crafters Market in limited quantities
$10 per 4oz jar

And yes I made the antler bark awl myself years ago — forged the tine and everything during a Great Lakes Traditional Arts Gathering.

I’m weaving for Saturday’s Fall Fest Market today, but I’m also weaving to recenter myself.
