I just wanted to take a minute to let you know about my PDF printable or digital journals and planners. There’s currently ones for Fitness, Yoga, Reading and Meal planning. I should have a few more added by the end of the week. I also have a TON of sewing to do, so we’ll see how it goes.
Each planner is only $5 and can be used over and over again.
If you’re like me and still doing your holiday shopping, you’ll want to keep the shipping guidelines in mind. I currently only ship USPS. You can find the full USPS shipping deadline info here. https://www.usps.com/holiday/holiday-shipping-dates.htm
Here are the USPS shipping deadlines to arrive by December 25 for the lower 48 states:
Alaska and Hawaii are mostly the same, but USPS Ground Advantage needs to ship a day earlier on December 16th.
Anything overseas requires Priority Mail Express International® Service and needs shipped by December 16th.
While I will pretty much ship until the last minute and do my best to get orders out by the next day, I can’t guarantee delivery by a certain date, so please order ASAP.
My five bars for $30 deal is back! To get that price, use this listing and tell me the five you would like in the notes at checkout. If you don’t let me know, or a variety is sold out, I’ll try to contact you first. If I don’t hear back within a day, I’ll send you an assortment of my favorites or substitute the sold out one with a different fabulous bar.
Now through December 19, if you use the coupon code CHRISTMAS25 at checkout, you’ll get 25% off your order, including clearance, sale and the bulk soap listing.
Sunday, December 21 I will be at V’z Vintage Holiday Market from 10am-6pm. It’s located at the American Legion Post 655, 2817 Carson St., Haltom City, TX 76117. If you’re local, you should totally come check it out. SubEarthan Cottage will be inside this time because it’s December in Texas and you never know what you’ll get weather-wise.
This is my third month at this market. There’s always a ton of unique handmade booths, food vendors and some vintage finds. If you’re looking for some last minute gifts, come support some local small businesses!
Today’s words of wisdom, brought to you by Sylvester the Cat and my favorite Yogi tea. (not sponsored) “Love is the highest of all virtues.”
Right on, Sylvester.
I’m prepping for my first market since my oldest was an only child. 😬 If you’re local, come check it out. All the details are in the second photo. I’ll have all my handmade goodies from my shop out there.
Have a wonderful day!

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about my upcycled kaftan or poncho shirts. I thought many of them could be best answered by seeing them on a real person. I didn’t have a model readily available, so you get me with my camera and tripod.
I want to do a product Q&A soon, so if you have any questions, please write them in the comments or send me a message.
Here’s a quick peek at some boho upcycled shirts I’ve made. They’re flowy and oversized to be one size fits most.
I’ll have them in the shop soon with all the dimensions and details listed. In the meantime, if you see one you like, feel free to contact me about it now. They’re $60+ $45+ shipping. If you’re local to Fort Worth, we can arrange pickup as well. Oh, and I’ve already claimed the first one for myself.
It’s my birthday on Saturday (yes, April Fool’s, I know, lol). If you use coupon code April2023 you’ll get 20% off your entire order at SubEarthan Cottage. Valid on regular and sale-priced items through April 3, 2023.
And, since birthday’s are weird without cake, here’s my favorite allergen-friendly chocolate cake recipe.

I generally try to avoid anything that seems gimmicky. The whole Black Friday, Shop Small Saturday, Cyber Monday all seem crafted to make people feel like they must buy all the things NOW. Being a small business owner, though, I wanted to address the “Shop Small” thing.
All those cute memes you see about small business owners doing a happy dance with every purchase, the care that goes into creating and packaging a product just for you, and the direct impact your purchase has on an individual or family? They’re all true, for me at least, and for the other small business owners I know. I celebrate each and every sale. I make sure to package every order with care and a handwritten thank-you. Every sale goes towards helping my family directly.
That’s not to say that big business are bad or don’t help their employees or don’t appreciate our business. Not at all. I’d be lying if I said the big blue Amazon truck never stopped at my house or I never shop at Walmart. They absolutely have their place, too. But, if today or any other day throughout the year you are able to make a purchase from a small business, know that we thank you for your support and are celebrating. Probably with a happy dance, although I refuse to post video evidence.
If you’re not in a position to make a purchase from a small business or what they offer just doesn’t fit your needs, there are other ways to offer support. Sharing their information with others that might like what they have to offer is one way. Letting them know what you like about their products is another.
If you are a small business owner or know of an awesome one, please leave a comment with the shop’s info so that I and my readers can check them out, whether it’s Shop Small Saturday or some random Tuesday. Artists and authors are welcome, too. I would love to have a list of small business to refer to and to share with my friends and family.
