Beautiful post
The yarn dyeing…what a beautiful practice. That really struck me.
Gorgeous post as always, Erin! Those apples look so fresh, and autumnal. Happy Sunday. 🙂 xx
Hi! Love these posts and wondered if you might share your insight here – you had shared an affiliate link to some Zappos shoes in a very recent Friday post, but wrote this week on Instagram about the strong stand you’d taken quite a while ago to no longer shop or partner with Amazon. My understanding was that Amazon has owned Zappos for some time, and that while it may still operate with some level of independence, Amazon wholly runs its warehouse operations and many other aspects of the company. Would love to know if that’s not the case! Doing our best as a family to avoid Amazon where we can.
Doing my best over here, too! I’m actually not familiar with the Zappos and Amazon relationship so I don’t have any more insight or information than what you’ve offered here!
That Orion article is the most mind-expanding read I’ve had in a long time. Also, my hundredth or so sign to read “Braiding Sweetgrass.” Have you read? Thanks so much for sharing!
It’s an amazing book in many ways, you should read it!
