HELLO, HEY, LISTEN! 🧚✨

We are in need of dire need of help from the bravest of the brave. Our fairies were captured and their wings were stolen right off their back. The monstrous thief hid them away in hopes of turning them to riches upon their return. 💰💰

Here’s how you can help. An accomplice of the thief came forward to clear their name, and help guide our adventures to the lost fairy wings. The thief’s secrets are set to be leaked at dawn on the 30th of May while they are away. The path may be treacherous, with creatures lurking about, but your bravery will be rewarded handsomely. 🪎

After locating a wing, bring it by The Hammered Goose’s tent to reunite the fairy with their missing wing to receive your reward.

After you stop by to update the hunt, will have your choice between a discount of our wares or your choice of a treasure from our chest.

Join the hunt and festivities at the Chattanooga Renaissance Faire, May 30th from 10AM - 8PM at Coolidge Park. RAIN OR SHINE.

Follow along for any updates and upcoming hints

Finding beauty in everything is not always wonderful, it can be devastating.

We picked up a raccoon who had been struck by a car and left to die. Poor girl seemed as if she was almost across out of the road before she met her end.

Bought her a bouquet of flowers, then left her to be reclaimed by nature. I hope she is resting well and is somewhere safe with plenty of yummy treats for her to enjoy.

Please drive carefully and show compassion to wildlife.

Always do what you can to help. We are in their home, actively destroying / taking it over. Remember to be kind and patient so they're able to make it home to continue to breathe life into our planet.

I'll check a few months down the line for bones left behind after nature wraps up the life cycle to include in my art. I will continue to dedicate myself / my art to encouraging care for these babies. I hope to help people find beauty in everything, even something considered unloved.

The Chattanooga Market today from 11-4! Come see me and get some yummy ice cream during the clumpies ice cream social. FREE GEODE WITH PURCHASE!

I’m fully stocked on my original mystery beetles (new beetles have been added!), butterflies, rattlesnake / insect jewelry, and more!

My goal today is to leave with one empty tote. Even if it’s one of my shoe box size totes. I have a bad habit of forgetting I’m here as a business and not a professional yapper. Gotta stay focused 💪🏻🫪

I have been working with the most beautiful and diverse creatures on this planet for 5 years, and I continue to be amazed.

These guys are an all time favorite butterfly to work with (probably the scariest to spread but absolutely worth it) along with the other ghostly butterflies.

This beauty along with several others will be available tomorrow at the Chattanooga market!

15% OFF INSECT FRAMES TODAY ONLY! 📍Rabbit Valley Farmers Market

Sometimes I think of the things my mom had to deal with, and then I go and buy her a nice gift as a “sorry I was a crazy child, mom”. I’d like to offer a discount today for everyone who may (or may not) have also been a crazy child to have something special to give to their parent for the holiday.

I’ll be set up at 7484 Nashville St. until 1PM today! If you see a frame you want but can’t make it I will be free this evening and can meet somewhere in Ringgold (payment required to hold)
