Hello! I'd love to send you occasional emails with new blog posts or other interesting tidbits to share. I won't send too many emails - too busy puttering in the kitchen or apothecary to sit down and write!

Invocation
Well, here we are. Let me put my basket down – mind the dirt I’ve left trailing after me everywhere. Just sit down and I’ll get things started. Don’t worry – I’m not big on the drama and hand-waving around parts. I keep things simple. So. Without further ado, I hereby declare this space open,…
Oh March, you bittersweet month!
March is really and truly here, and it announced itself in full gusts back on the first of the month. It’s been banging against my house and crinkling the plastic we have over the windows to help keep us toasty and insulated. There have been teasingly beautiful warm days and gray, wet cold days. This…
Things I Love: Herbal Zines and Honest Communication
UGH. Has February been dragging you down as much as it has me? I’ve been accomplishing many things and slogging through but lordy, has it been an uphill battle to keep motivated! What do you do to keep yourself inspired and moving during your energetic lows? In other news, I recently started following Agatha, the Indie Herbalist.…
Things I Love: June in Asheville
I love June, for all of the daily rain and thunder booming, the flowers and the veggies blooming! I’ve been bottling brew, chopping soapwort, and otherwise rising out of the slump that has kept me a bit stagnant through early spring…but happily, my creative juices are flowing again now that everything is bursting into flower…

Things I Love
This week has been a busy one around the DePixi homestead. We’ve put up our small tree and hung a few ornaments, set up our standard holiday decor including the Christmas Walrus (don’t you have one?!) and sang traditional songs like “Gabba gabba hey, click click click” as made popular on the very silly cartoon show…
Things I Love: Lazy Christmas
The Hollydaze are quiet around the Pixi household. With all the time off from the day job, I’ve been tidying the kitchen and checking in on various projects. There’s also been many extra cups of coffee (many with eggnog and brandy!) and other warm beverages, curled up with a blanket and a book. It’s been…
Mother Earth Produce: From Local Farms to Your Front Door
For years, I was a meat and potatoes kind of girl. I even called myself a “pastatarian” years before the Flying Spaghetti Monster became a thing. It wasn’t until after I turned 21 that my tastes began to change, allowing a wider experience in food than ever before…sushi, seaweed, spinach greens, salads, and all sorts…
Things I Love: August! Sweet August!
Oh, August…your warm and stormy days are so dear to me. The berries and tomatoes are bursting off of the vines, the warm weather plants are making their final push before harvest, and SOON those dratted mosquitoes will die away. They are BAD at the new place, y’all…but the work we’re putting into the…
Ooooh, a plant kaleidoscope!
I had no idea that this existed, but now that I know, I need one. Behold, the PLANT KALEIDOSCOPE! I’d never leave my garden again… Speaking of gardens, I hope yours is coming along well. What are you growing this year? The past week has been a nice, proper spring week. There’s been rainstorms, thunder, and…
