Released a very special song today with @andrewdetorres for @thesceneaesthetic to remember his mother, an incredible woman, and one of the main driving forces why we are still making music to this day. She always believed in us and never let her love go unknown. I think about her often and find myself trying to emulate the same type of love that came so naturally to her.

A huge thank you to Leslie Mosier (@lesliemosier ) for using her beautiful voice and singing on this one with us, the harmonies turned out so lovely! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is a belated note to you little girl, I started writing this the morning of your birthday and finished it this afternoon. A year ago today your mom and I said hello to your smiling face for the first time. We were finally meeting you in those first sacred moments, but it felt like we’d known you forever. A joyful reunion of familiar souls. Time feels so different now. And I expected it to. But honestly couldn’t have wrapped my mind around all the small little things. The small, beautiful changing things that I try desperately to be aware of and observe, but they happen so fast that I feel like I barely get a chance to appreciate what I’m witnessing. It’s humbling to be taught by you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Being your father is the greatest honor of my life, sweet Row. Happy 1st birthday baby girl.

The shop update is now live and there are quite a few patterns to choose from. Some I found in sets, others are one-of-a-kind. Thanks for playing along in the guessing game and for every supportive word you’ve tossed my way.

In this hard enamel pin design, a kettle boils over an open fire, memories of reminiscing with friends around campfires while roasting something tasty. Enjoying those special things you only remember making while camping. For me, s’mores using Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups is a favorite. What’s a snack or meal you love to make while camping?
Busy spoon ring day. Shop update coming this weekend • lots of sterling silver and one-of-a-kind pieces! Can you spy the face hidden in one of the handles?
Sight: 3rd of our 5 Senses. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This hard enamel pin features a pair of binoculars viewing a wide open landscape of mountains and trees with a little bird flying in the distance. A reminder to look for the places that speak to your heart and recharge your soul. For me, that’s always found by getting outside and seeing something beautiful.
Working on restoring this 1977 Ford F-150 and excited for the weather to start warming up so we can go on some Northwest adventures. Runs very strong for being so old. Replaced a worn out bench seat cover with one I made using a Pendleton wool blanket. The to-do list of things to change or work on might never end. But there’s something kind of beautiful in that.
