I’ve been trying to think about a promo I could do for Vegan Serendib in January — lots of people do ‘veganuary,’ so it seems the logical time. What do you think of something like this? **** I post a set of recipes from Vegan Serendib — maybe two dozen or so, to get people […]

I have been trying to be on vacation and not work, but it’s hard, in part because if I don’t make something creative regularly, I tend to get cranky. Took an hour today to experiment with watercolors — I watched some YouTube tutorials and tried doing branches and stems mostly, with watercolor pencils, watercolor brushes,

I’m trying to figure out what’s most useful in terms of pages — right now, I have a Serendib page, and a Mary Anne Mohanraj page, in addition to this personal feed, and I’m not sure if I should keep both of those. (About 300 people follow those currently, so not so many people to

Okay, ready for some last-minute holiday shopping? This is my big wrap-up post with lots of pictures. Some stuff just for locals, but some things for online shoppers too – e-books make a great gift! No shipping costs! 🙂. And did you know we have Serendib House e-gift cards? Easy to use at the online

Eliana has now dropped almost all of these at Sprout for me (I forgot to give her pricing for the pressed flower coasters, gah, so those will be available after New Year’s, sorry!). Get ’em while they’re hot! 🙂. And if you’re interested in a custom order, I’m happy to discuss. Maybe you want a

It feels a little weird, not crafting! The last few months, most days I’ve spent at least 1-3 hours making things to fill up stock for the shop. I was telling someone about it at dinner last night, and she asked me how many items I had in the shop, and I don’t really know,
