I’ve been sitting on this for almost a week now. I just couldn’t find the words or take the perfect pictures to truly represent the magnitude of my appreciation.
Gift-giving becomes such a beautiful experience when it’s made by the hands of the giver.
This beautiful mug was made by one of our longtime plant sale customers. From the first time we met many years ago, sitting on the ground in front of my farm stand, digging through my seed stash in search of fun watermelon varieties, to last week, when we exchanged kind words, plants, and hugs in my driveway, Tara from has been someone I look forward to seeing every year at my annual plant sale.
She is full of talent, has an incredible love for her dogs (and shelter pups!), and a deep appreciation for nature and hiking. I couldn’t be more thankful for her friendship and support over the years.
She made this mug as a thank-you gift, and it is absolutely perfect in every way. I’m completely in love with it!
Please check out her Instagram page! She does so much for local dog shelters and shares some pretty amazing adventures with her pup. If you follow along, you’ll also catch glimpses of her beautiful pottery creations in her stories.
Thank you, Tara from the bottom of my heart, this gift means more than you know. ❤️🐓
