When we focus our marriage on exalting and glorifying God together, our relationship becomes a vehicle through which people can smell the aroma of Christ.
•
It will be a demonstration of the gospel to the world—we will show God’s grace, His compassion, His forgiveness.
•
It starts with being God-centered instead of self-centered. It’s upward and outward instead of being inward.
•
To be more specific, Christian love is self-sacrificing, not self-serving love. Check out Philippians 2:1-4
•
Now, is there companionship that comes along with it? Yes. Is there love and intimacy that comes into the deal? Yes, and I‘m glad for these things!
•
But when we magnify the Lord together we both end up saying, “This isn‘t about us. This is about putting the gospel on display to a watching world.”
•
When we truly understood that purpose, it changed everything.
•
I like how Paul Tripp puts it: “We were made to live upward and outward, but most of us live inward. When we can quit living inward and start living upward and outward, life changes.”
•
When our marriage can be about upward and outward, things change.
•
These two unique aspects of a Christian marriage
—a different purpose and a different love—
are something we cannot manufacture by ourselves.
•
They are impossible apart from the transforming grace of God in our lives.
•
And when we experience this transformation, the world will notice something very different in our relationships. 💕🫶
•
Enjoy your Sunday today and your spouses everyday.
•
Much love 🥰💕🫶

If you’ve never come across a horse brass before, these beautiful brass medallions have roots in old equestrian tradition.
•
Decorative brasses were used to adorn horse harnesses and became especially popular in the 1800s, when working, carriage, and parade horses could be dressed in all sorts of beautiful brass designs.
•
And somewhere along the way, I started collecting them. Of course. 🤣
•
The ones you’re seeing here are from my own private stash… different shapes, symbols, animals and designs I’ve gathered because I just love the history and character behind them.
•
And now I’m bringing a collection of horse brasses to WCF. 🤎
•
These are BIG, substantial pieces — around 4 inches — so they make such a fun statement beyond their traditional equestrian use.
•
Slide one onto a scarf or twilly as an oversized scarf slide.
•
Tie one onto the handle of a canvas or leather bag as a purse charm.
•
Wear one on a ribbon, leather cord or twilly as a statement necklace.
•
Turn one into a keychain or bag tag.
•
Tie one onto a basket, market tote or foraging bag.

Hang them from a peg rail or tack-room hook.
•
Add one to a wreath or collected gallery wall.
•
Or simply collect them for what they are…beautiful little pieces of horse history.
•
I especially love mine tied onto a twilly and added to my cotton canvas and leather horse feed bag.
•
It feels a little western, a little old-world, and just the right amount of crunchy horse girl.
•
Every horse brass in our drop will come with a twilly chosen at random, so you can start styling yours as soon as it arrives. 💕•
Patterns and colors will vary, making each pairing a little bit different.
•
Whether you’re a horse girl, western girl, collector, homesteader, or just someone who loves objects with a story behind them, these are such a fun way to carry an old equestrian tradition into everyday life.
•
Horse Brasses and Twillies will be available on our website during this weekend’s drop! 🥰🫶🙏💕

Ever see those spiky green or brown balls on the ground and think they’re just a nuisance?
•
That’s the sweet gum tree, and these trees are a fascinating bit of folk medicine history.
•
Sweet gum- star gum- red gum trees, there’s many names to call…(Liquidambar styraciflua), produce those prickly seed pods, but inside the tree’s bark and twigs is a resin called “storax” and that resin has been used for centuries for respiratory infections, coughs, and even as a natural antiviral.
•
The compounds in it, acids known as “shikimic acidare”, related to what’s used to make Tamiflu!
•
Now, the way I like to work with it on the farm is to make a sweet gum “glycerite”.
•
it’s basically a shelf-stable herbal extract…think tincture, but the solvent being used is vegetable glycerin, that’s gentle enough for kids and doesn’t need alcohol.
•
I’ll take fresh green sweet gum balls before they harden, smash them a bit to expose the inner material, and pack them in a jar.
•
I add a bit of star anise, a few Ceylon cinnamon sticks, and a bunch of farm raised elderberries…
•
Then I cover them with a mix of food-grade vegetable glycerin.
•
I then let it sit for about 4–6 weeks, shaking it every few days.
•
When it’s ready, strain it out and you’ve got a sweet, resin-rich extract that can be used for soothing coughs and supporting the immune system.
•
Of course, this isn’t a substitute for medical care, but it’s one of those old-time remedies that reminds me how much God’s medicine is growing all around us if we only stop to look.
•
Check out our next reel tomorrow that teaches a step-by-step on how to make the “Nature’s Tamiflu Glycerite” just in time for flu season!
•
Don’t have access to these ingredients, or the time or want to craft it yourself…our Sweet Gum & Oink Tinctures and Glycerites are always available on our website www.wcfmarket.com and during our restocks every other Friday. 🥰🫶🙏
•
Now maybe next time you see those spiky balls, you’ll see medicine instead of a mess in your yard.
•
His medicine is literally falling at your feet- don’t overlook it! ☺️🙏🫶💕

Today is our four youngest’s first day of school! 😭
•
And of our six kids, only three are left at the elementary age!
•
Kaiden, the oldest- is in college and living on her own. Clayton is a junior in high school. Marlowe’s first day of junior high is today! And then Ansel is 5th, Obadiah is 2nd and Yonder is beginning 1st!
•
Their school is a small community pre-k-senior one-building learning center that we’re grateful and that they love.
•
Every year we ask them if they want to go back to homeschooling- and every year they giggle and shout that they don’t and they love it at their school.
•
So back they go. And Jason and I welcome the rhythm that the school year brings to us and to be able to work on the farmstead with longer hours, and in a bit more focused manner.
•
Lord, we place the 2026–2027 school year in Your hands—guide our children, guard their hearts and minds, bless their teachers, fill their days with wisdom and joy, and let everything they learn draw them closer to the purpose You have for their lives. Amen.

This collection of copper necklaces and anklets has just released and has been a really special group to curate!
•
The larger 6.3 mm copper beaded necklace is available in 18” and a size “large” 11” length on the anklet.
•
The smaller 9.5 mm copper beaded necklace is available in 16” and a size “small” 9.5” standard anklet.
•
What’s super cool about this group of living-metal jewelry, is that it can be easily trimmed smaller and made adjustable, if you have a pair of dykes/wire cutters. 🥰
•
Copper can seem alive because it’s highly reactive and changes with its environment.
•
It conducts heat and electricity extremely well, develops a patina as it reacts with air and moisture, and can continuously change color and surface chemistry over time.
•
That’s why copper jewelry can go from bright orange-pink to brown, nearly black, or green/blue.
•
Copper jewelry is also great for inflammation and easing joint pain, primarily due to copper’s abilities to enhance and encourage collagen production back into those areas needing attention.
•
Ever notice your skin turning colors when you wear copper jewelry?! That’s because of your specific body ph and is a totally normal chemical reaction between you and the copper.
•
Plus it washes off and is another sig ln that you’re wearing pure copper too. 😉
•
Copper can also be easily repolished and revitalized in numerous ways- my favorite being with some lemon and salt. It’s simple and it works.
•
You can also use baking soda and vinegar and (another favorite of mine) believe it or not, ketchup.
•
You could also buy some sort of polishing spray or cream online or maybe in stores- but that’s not my personal style. 🫶
•
These look especially pretty stacked and paired with our other pieces.
•
There’s something beautifully timeless about copper—a metal that changes, deepens, and develops its own character with time.
•
And that’s exactly why we love creating copper jewelry so much. Each piece is made by hand, meant to enhance your life, made to be worn, lived in, and made uniquely yours. 🥰🫶
