Through out this journey I have met TONs of makers and creators. Here is a shout out and an easy way for you to keep shopping small. Listed by categories, alphabetically. Links are to their websites or their instagram pages, just click the descriptors. At the bottom I've also got some yoga channels listed that keep me grounded. Not local, but help greatly in my journey!
I will continue to link things, just getting started. So if we have connected and you don't see your name listed, don't worry, I'm gonna add new things every month.
Jewelry
- Monstera Boutique - For lovers of plants, flowers, and the moon. If you can catch her at an event and build your own charm bracelet, WOW! Also, she has fabulous earings, truly unique statement pieces.
- Schaefer Works Jewelry - One of a kind handmade jewelry. I have a lovely gold cuff as well as the cutest Mama/Daughter mushroom-stamped matching rings.
- Wyld Terra - Handmade jewelry to nurture your soul. I LOVE her fringe earings! Understatement of the year. Seriously. I wear them 5 of the 7 days a week. I think I have 3 pairs now, but if you were looking to gift me something...
Macrame
Pet Products
- Limoncello & Co - Charcuteries for your pets, made with love in Bend, OR. If you know me, you know I LOVE my pets. Fostering for the local humane society I can never have enough treats like these!
- Peaceful Pet Supplements - Help your pet live a happier, healthier life! I use the Serenity Blend on our older dog to help with anxiety Truly takes the edge off for old Teddy. For real, amazing!
Pottery
- Cook's Pottery - One of a kind wheel-thrown and handcrafted ceramics with a personal touch: functional and artistic. You know I use her stuff for candles! Alicia's quality and consistency is unmatched. She also makes some planters you've likely seen in places around central Oregon. Catch her at events all over, but she is a La Pine local like myself!
- Gnefknacks - Handmade ceramics for everyday life. I use for my candles again, but the sgraffito technique and the fun glazes are where it is at! Really playful, unique pieces. Everyone needs a mug!
Tattoo Artists-My Therapy
- Jessie Zenor-@zenoregon on Instagram, for those who ask (often!) this is who has done all of my ornamental work, and my mini me just got her very first tattoo from Jessie. She is a wonderful artist, and an even greater human! She books 2 months out so be sure to give her a follow to see when is available (linked here). She tattoos out of a private studio in downtown Bend, OR.
- Haily Hinkle-@northssouths on Instagram, Haily Hinkle actually graduated with my oldest kiddo. She has done a few pieces for me, including a dedication piece to my grandparents. I love seeing the entrepreneurial spirit alive in the younger generation (I sound like my grandmother now), espeically in lil ol' La Pine, OR where I reside. Check her instagram page to book, linked here..
- Kailah Bartolome - MANY years ago I was super into the water color tattoos. Kailah did several for me, as well as one of my favorite lil tattoos of my youngest kiddos writing when he was 5. My oldest kiddo got his first tattoo from her with me as well. She is a great artist, as well as the owner of Black Opal Tattoo Studio , which appears to be the home of many other great artists in Bend, OR. You can book with her on her website linked here.
Yoga-What Sparks My Soul
- Cole Chance - This one is my favorite. Girl has got a way of making me feel like I'm at the location with her. My regular go to.
- Fightmaster Yoga - Some of these videos are tougher, but so worth it when you learn you CAN do it.
- Yoga with Adriene - if you are a beginner, this is where to start! And where I go when I need to refresh and get back into the routine.
- Yoga TX - a great channel to explore different practices. Where I found Cole Chance actually.
