off the land
I come from a family of 7 kids and grew up in a small town in WNY. We used our imaginations and often created something from nothing. I truly believe that has formed me into who I am today and while I believe nature gives us everything we need, I do enjoy modern day conveniences.
Back in the day, I've done a lot of creating and crafting and selling my wares to local people via word of mouth or local craft shows. Since then, I have grown and my shop is designed to bring nature to you online! I unintentionally tend to create utilitarian items, such as fabric food wraps, ointments, balms, candles, etc. My online Etsy shop only contains products that I have made, but my physical location log cabin shop may contain items from local artisans or my very artistic children. (you can see their products on Etsy at aptoArt and ethanrainespottery).
My log cabin shop ( made by our Amish neighbor) is nestled in rural Jasper, NY. My shop supplies local English & Amish neighbors with brown eggs, honey, natural ointments & salves, tinctures, jams, beeswax candles, homemade gift items and hand crafted items -pottery, homemade greeting cards, handmade jewelry, seasonal decorations (wreaths, blown out easter eggs ,etc). You may be greeted by our harmless, barking elderly dogs, Bella & Melvin. Off in the distance you may hear our chickens bawking or the Amish neighbor ringing the dinner bell. Our inventory is unique and ever changing. If you are ever in the area, please stop to visit us <3.
