Some Electric Eden photos! See what I've been obsessively creating for the last 2 years! lol. It involves converting an old moving box truck into a hummingbird society for humans!

Join us for an Open House September, 19th from Noon - 5 pm.

✨📚 NEW! LIGHT-UP BOOKS! 📚✨

Okay, these are so cool.

Open them up and they unfold into a glowing, sculptural work of art — and they’re rechargeable, so no cord required.

We have three gorgeous designs:

🐙 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
🦋 Alice in Wonderland
🐦 Birds of America

They’re part book, part lamp, part little piece of magic — and such a great gift for the person who is impossible to buy for.

$40 each • Just arrived at The Sparkle Barn!

I am tempted to turn myself into a cat for the 9th and permanent time! Today is the day! lol

Tonight, the CAT NIGHTS begin! 🐱 A rather obscure old Irish legend said that a witch could turn herself into a cat eight times, but on the ninth time (August 17), she couldn’t regain her human form. This bit of folklore also gives us the saying, “A cat has nine lives.”
