Thank you for supporting a woman-led, Texas-based small business! When I started on this journey, we were half a year into the pandemic, and like many working moms, I was working from home to keep my child out of school and help protect my family. Nestled in the Piney Woods of Deep East Texas, I filled my spare time making fabric masks to give to anyone who needed one. Three months of working from home and over 1,000 masks later, I had discovered that creating in my little home office (a transformed spare bedroom) brought me a sense of self-purpose that I didn’t realize I was missing.

As the demand for masks waned, I knew that it was time to set my sights on a new project. I had a pipe dream of selling and making meaningful art, oddities, crystals, and mystical home wares. With a leap of faith and the support of my family behind me, I launched Piney Woods Mystic Menagerie in July of 2020. What I didn’t know at the time was that I was starting a spiritual journey of self discovery as well. The more I research and hone my craft, the more I learn about myself as well. The more I create, the more I feel I am connecting to the world around me. I am immeasurably grateful for the lessons and insights I have been able to make since beginning Piney Woods Mystic.

I have since returned to in-office work at my day job, but my passion for Mystic creating hasn't changed, and I dedicate much of my off-hours to growing my little burgeoning business. As I continue to grow as an artist and spiritual being, so too will my shop grow and evolve in tandem. Hopefully someday soon it will become my full-time occupation and I can leave the nine-to-five grind behind for good. As an individual artist and creator, your patronage is invaluable to me and I truly enjoy making each piece I offer, imbuing them with love and intention as I do. Thank you for being a vital part of my journey - you are the human part that brings meaning to this world and my work!

Sending you wishes of peace, magic, and a beautifully Mystical year!
