Congratulations to Tate Craig!! You are the winner of the Eternal Bloom. Thank you to everyone who shared my post about the giveaway. I know it seems silly but every little click really does help.

We're down to the last 2 days of the PUTNAM COUNTY FAIR! I still have some great working knives and a few more flowers left. Come by my booth in the Barnyard and check out my wares. If you're unable to come out this weekend, just message me and lets talk about your next project.

It's been a great year, so let's close it put with a BANG!

Well, Upper Cumberland folks, it's that time again! Time for the Putnam County Fair! This is the 100th year of the fair being in this spot! I am grateful to be a part of this place. The community of people who organize the event, demonstrate, and share the love of their craft is amazing.

I will be set up in the Barnyard demonstrating blacksmith techniques, leatherwork, and selling goods. Come by and hangout, ask me about about anything crafty, or watch me make Something from Nothing. I'll be here every day from 4-9pm. All items are hand made by myself at my shop in Sparta TN.

ATTENTION:
With it being the 100th anniversary of the Fair, I think we should celebrate. LIKE and SHARE this post to be entered into the hat to win one of my famous Eternal Blooms. Win a ageless flower for yourself or a loved one with a few quick clicks. It helps me out and you get something back for your support. Everybody wins! Winner will be decided on Aug 7th and can pick up the item on Aug 8th at the Fair or whenever is most convenient.

Hey y'all. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I've still got a number of goods ready for purchase. Meat flippers, kiridashi knives, plant hangers, and the ever beautiful Eternal Blooms. I've got 6 of these amazing flowers left for your enjoyment. Some are displayed in the Fragrant Mushroom Gallery. They will open again on Jan 5th. Can't wait? Message me and I can meet with you in Sparta or Cookeville for any goods you'd like.

My final art piece of 2025, I'm calling Window Watcher. It is inspired by the play Neverland. This piece will be on display at Cookeville Performing Arts Center Jan 5-31, during their production of Neverland, and will be available for purchase during and after the exhibit.
