Travel Channel

well, we made it back to the pnw.
what a blast this trip was.
three weeks goes by so fast when you are having fun.
costa rica and panama are beautiful, gritty, humid and on the caribbean. perfect.
we promptly got mega sick when we arrived home so i am going to start with a photo montage to break the ice.  i will have a few more posts of photos coming up: street art, herb shops, food, doors, etc.  i will also start talking about the small changes coming for this lil blog-o-mine.  for starters, it is shifting again, away from being SR store centered, toward being SR lifestyle centered.  you will get to see more of what i do in other arenas of my life and if you stick around you'll get to know a lot more about me too.  bonus.
how is your new year?
did you pick a guiding word for your year ahead?
i did.
~ unfurl ~
just watch me.

i wrote a lot while i was gone.  i read a lot.  i biked a lot, did a lot of yoga. i laid in the hammock and on the beach and napped a lot.  i have a lot more i can say about it all. the traveling with family and being together 24/7 for 3 weeks when we are never together that much in real life, the belly laughs, the tears, the discovery, the joy, the longing. and how it all stretches you, grows you, cultivates your unique you-ness. all of it.  and i will say more.  little by little, some here.  some there.  it will come.  deeply thankful to have this space to document and preserve some thoughts around it all.  swirling and percolating. thankful.  and full on filled up to the brim with gratitude. overwhelming gratitude.
my life is fucking awesome.
word.

wild love,

Wildish

 
it's been a while friends.
things have been wildish.
a dearest soul sister is moving away and i am not loving it. she will be living near san francisco and i do love that, if she must go.
i was invited to submit a piece of writing to a brilliant new magazine and i'd be a big fat liar if i didn't admit i am so super excited by this!
i am having a nice size trunk show of my handmade loot in my space at M&M, during our after hours party , 6:00 p.m., on Friday Dec 1...be there or be square.
shortly after that i leave the country for three weeks and can be found lazing about central america, surfing and eating with my 3 best friends, the guys i live with.
upon my return i will begin weekly mounted archery lessons in keeping with my "i am a badass" mantra. archery.  on horseback. 
i know. 
yep, things are wildish.
what are you up too?
always Love,
jennette
p.s.
the Smashing Rubbish shop will be opened friday november 30th , saturday December 1, friday december 7 and saturday december 8, noon-6pm. after that you can find a majority of Smashing Rubbish items at M&M:123 N Lewis St. in Monroe, through the first of the new year.  as per my usual, look for some big shifts, transitions, and newness with SR in the new year.  you knew it was coming!  xox

Permission Ship

permission ship

this is one of the metallic silver ships you may have seen floating in the air at my shop.  a whole fleet of silver and white ships hang from the ceiling along with various sized mirror balls, glitter stars and tissue paper orbs.  it's a magical scene and one many folks have voiced wishes to have above their beds to glimpse while drifting off to dream land.

recently my soulstorm posse was having a discussion concerning the need for space and time around making decisions/choices while diving head long into new projects, initiatives, and work.  following the energy, if you will, and examining which lines of energy to tug on each day, reel in, work on and cast back out.  the idea of "allowing" our intuition or gut feeling guide what pieces we pick up each day to work on, within the vast overflowing pile of life-as-we-know-it,came up in the form of a "permission slip" except that it came out as "permission ship." 
and it stuck.

when one of us in our sisterhood is having a rough time on the sea of life, our hulls depleted and not getting refilled to overflowing fast enough, and when our sails are stretched taut, close to snapping,  from the gale-force winds of responsibility we must attend in a day while fitting in our abundant hearts desires, we swiftly glide each other a permission ship.  we let one another know we are each others safe harbors.  we hold each others nets and baskets while what needs to spill washes full out to empty.  and all the while we do this space holding in loving awe and utter deep respect for each other, our womanhood, our powerful wild selves.

and we sail on.

not just drifting, untethered, forlorn with no destination.
we navigate full on with billowing wind in our rippling, outrageous sails, anchored only to the deep down profound truths of who we truly are, and buoyed by our pirate crew, the beacons, the luminaries, the stars, the treasures.

i am one blessed sea rover these days...
rolling in the deep aboard my permission ship.

if you need "permission," ahoy, just send up a smoke signal.
i will see your flare and i will skipper a permission ship your way.
you can count on me.

your ever loving and deep diving mate,
xxx

Hang Ten

 
hang 10 is a newish feature here on smashing rubbish to make a quick chronicle of 10 things/items/experiences/people/places that i am loving, wanting to remember, and share with you!
 
my sister mb doing what she does, root down, word up.
 
when julia lost some teeth in a bike accident in pdx, i knew she'd appreciate this old gold west german toy(?) pair.  i was going to make it into a hair clip but figured she needed it more than me.
 
ms. moon is my new most favorite blogger.  i find we have a lot in common and i just simply adore her.
 
this book and this book are in the mail on the way to me.
 
just got done listening to dr. clarissa pinkola estes read me this and i have three things to say, no, four: swoon, word, must listen!
 
this post and this post had me texting my bffs to confess my undying love.
 
here's another woman, besides ms. moon, that i'd like to be like when i grow up (video)
 
johnathan fields and brene brown get down to business at good life project (video)

Vintage Shell Lamps

 
i've amassed a handful of these vintage, mid-century, souvenir shell lamps and other vintage shell related goodness...
all were in various states of falling apart so i have been saving weird stuff to glue all over them....
because, why not, right.
 
the one above now holds the glitter orb nun that natasha gave me.  she is actually holding a bowling ball but as soon as i got her i transmuted her bowling ball into a glittering orb.  she didn't mind.
i also added a little happy portlandia bird.  you know. 
put a bird on it.
i am keeping this one.
 
here is a little porcelain owl atop a shell pin cushion that hangs on the wall.  i took the soft pin cushiony part out when i was gluing so as not to ruin it.
 
elephants.
i know.
sea elephants i suppose.
this one lights up too.
 
broken doll heads.
they have all been in a drawer.
i couldn't bare to throw them out.
oh and there is a whale tail in there too.
 
all hands shell alter/font.
everyone needs one.
 
is this lakshmi?
her lamp lights up.
and she is carved from sandalwood so she smells good.
i think the slight heat from the tiny bulb will make her scent waft.
here's hoping.
she got a bird too.
 
and this little winged creature is hanging with her deer friends.
this one works as well.
i may keep adding bits and pieces here and there until they sell.
oh, yes, they are for sale, in my shop.

Fall Begins

{my sweet soul sister Latisha just reminded me about this post from 2 years ago.  i am immersed in projects right now and have not given much time to blogging.  i am reposting this old post to hold us all over and because it is relevant still now.  enjoy!}
Handful of Amaranth

It's the first day of Fall.  And as if right on cue, the weather has up and gone Autumnal on us.  I LOVE this time of year, anticipating Samhain (SAH-win), when the veil grows thinner between the worlds of the living and the dead.  And too, El Dia de los Muertos is coming, probably my most favorite seasonal celebration of all.


Autumnal Equinox marks a turning of the wheel.  It's our harvest celebration.  It's a time of balance between dark and light.  We are moving from light into darkness, from warmth into cold.  At this time of year, when we are gathering in the gifts of the Goddess, the fruit, nuts, grain, and vegetables that are ripe, we can also give something back, make offerings and express our thanks.  The Fall Equinox is our Thanksgiving!



The Autumn Equinox can be a time when we work in some way to restore balance.  Balance in nature, balance in life, balance in ourselves.  What do you do to find your equilibrium?  How do you create a sense of balance in your life?  Do you find balance hard to attain?  What tricks do you have up your sleeve to keep your life and self in a gentle flow of equilibrium, not veering off into one extreme or the other? 
I like to think in terms of equilibrium, rather than balance.  Balance seems more static and rigid to me whereas equilibrium seems to incorporate the flow that is essential to the teetering we find in the balancing.  Does that make sense?  Seeking my equilibrium is forgiving, allows me to teeter, provides a gentle sway instead of a demanding, equal opportunity balancing act that makes me feel like I haven't done enough, don't give enough, am not good enough.  For me, seeking my equilibrium, lets me love myself and be in love with my world.  What about you?

Right now our nature table is overflowing!  We use our nature table as our seasonal alter.  Having a seasonal alter is a great way to connect children to the turning of the wheel.  Children are natural collectors and its neat to have a spot for them to display their nature treasures after walks, hikes, or playing outdoors.  Our nature table is ever waxing and waning with all manner of fruit, nut, seed, leaf, plant, beach items, wood, dead bugs, antler, shell, moss, nest, etc.  What treasures from nature do you bring into your home and how do you honor them?  What other items do you add to make the alter special and seasonal?  We often make corn dolls, cinanimals, leaf chains, "nut gnomes," or mobiles around Autumn Equinox.

Acorns collected in Chelan

One source of inspiration, information and guidance that I have used since August was quite small is the book Circle Round: Raising Children in Goddess Traditions by Starhawk, Diane Baker and Anne Hill.  This book (and music CD by the same name)is a must have if you have any interest whatsoever in seeking a more nature based lifestyle, spirituality, or mentality.  Don't let the title scare you- it doesn't have the power to convert you automatically to Paganism!  But it is chalk-full of information that will teach, inspire, and amaze you.  Its an easy to use book with activities, recipes, music, games and stories.  Oh, the stories!  I LOVE this book!  Check it out!

And it's mushroom hunting time!  Yay!  I have harvested chantrelles and angel wings in the past and can not wait to get out in the woods and do a little hunting and gathering.  Maybe this Sunday.  Fingers crossed!

I will leave off today with the lyrics from a song that I learned at RavenCroft when I was doing my apprenticeship there.  I cannot recall the exact name but we call it the Equinox song.  We sing it at both Autumnal and Spring Equinox:

Onward we go round the spiral
touching darkness
touching light
twice each turn we rest in balance
make choices on this night
make choices on this night
(repeat)

What choices have you been procrastinating on?
What decisions do you need to make?
Now is the time.
Good luck to you!

Shoe Fetish

inspired by this facebook photo of scott avett,
my boys each took a turn at a photo op with their own shoes:
 
 
 
we talked about me getting a photo with mine.
but we decided it would take all day,
considering the massiveness of my shoe hoarding illness.
 
we picked blackberries instead and made gluten free chocolate blackberry cobbler. 
 
sorry scott, you don't get any.
 
loving these last warm days before fall equinox.
gardens getting put to bed, honey supers coming off the hives, closets and spaces getting purged, cleared and organized (i do this in fall instead of spring).
it all feels good.
i feel good.
 
on time,
xoxo

Mountain Lion

this here is the new tote bag i made and have been carrying around.
it's like a shield.
it's my boundary bag.
i am mountain lion.

the solar queen.
according to pixie
she is a symbol of solitude, boundaries, solar power and femininity.
she calls us out to examine where we are standing in our integrity and where we might need some reinforcement.
 
mountain lion is the solitary wanderer.
she represents the  open, curious seeker within you.
she can help with feeling in power inside of your body.
 
this is a bit of a divergence from my regular course of posting (as if my posting is ever regular!).  it is about the making of the tote but it's also about the work i am doing in SouLstorm, a 9 month intensive deep dive i am participating in.  pixie campbell and maya corrine are the two goddesses offering their hearts, love, and skills to help a small group of woman heal, grow, become, and step into their natural born power.  i have the extreme privilege of working, creating, and becoming along side them.  because i am hurting for intimate knowledge of my right medicine, they are here, with mountain lion, giving me permission to grieve my wounds, rebuild trust and open up to new insights.  they are teaching me how to create a conscious creative legacy.  and it is already the most therapeutic, restorative, and karmic/cosmic experience i have ever had.  tis true. word.
 
and that's all i will say about that for now as i am in process of synthesizing, integrating, and assimilating all that is being offered to me.  as i discover more, i will share more.  be certain.  if you stick around, you are going to get an earful!
 
as far as the tote bag is concerned, i have more to share.
i found this incredible yardage of vintage flannel fabric at a thrift store in eastern washington, for $2.50, when i was visiting my folks this summer.  i was in the midst of contemplating whether SouLstorm was for me.  i had no idea that one facet of opening our hearts in SouLstorm would be to do a mini course with mountain lion.
i have come to the conclusion that it is ALL cosmic and karmic.
everything.  always.  cosmic & karmic.
so be it.
so here i am, all enamoured with the print, the colors, the
perfect vintageness.
(by the way, is anyone else reminded of vintage sleeping bag liner flannel here?!)
and once i understand why/how i have this fabric i presume it must be made into either a skirt or a bag.  if ya been around here long, you might know i have plenty-o-skirt, and i make plenty-o-bag. 
but since we were soon headed to our beloved pickathon, and i hadn't handmade/sewn all my own clothing as i had (secretly) hoped, I figured a special quick tote bag, to haul all my loot to the woods stage, was in order. 
the liner is a sundress, last worn and washed in sayulita.  it had patch pockets besides a torn strap, from days of wear on end, but it had the yardage to be reused, recycled, and reloved. the patch pockets stayed on and became the inside pockets to hold my salve, sunglasses and phone, etc.  the bag strap is a woven piece i picked up, as is, for a quarter at a yard sale.  it has a bit of metallic thread in it so that combined with the colors and price made it a
total score.
when i pulled the (liner) sundress out of my fabric closet the scent memory hit me hard and sent me to a place of pleasure and magic.  my happy place.  the salty mother ocean under the sultry hot sun. a two week ocean side vacation with my beloveds that i ache and long for again. oh the smell. the scent of life being fully lived. 
life as an enchanting playground.
and as i began to work with the fabrics, liner (dress) and mountain lion flannel, i knew this was indeed a special bag, a tote full of intention, hope and desire. it was sewn, and is now worn, with the seeds of a meditation and mantra to hold me:
I am doing my Heart Work.  I am taking a stand and committing to creating a life worth living, to playing full tilt, and allowing my life to be fully expressed.  I am finding my right medicine with my right fit people, a circle of women who can support and hold my blossoming vision.  I am expanding.  I am a multi passionate woman who is birthing the irresistible.  I am creating an energetically strategic lifestyle.  I am engaging in radical self-trust. I am becoming a conscious creative visionary and I am creating a conscious creative legacy. 
watch out.  i'm riding up to my edges and it doesn't hurt so bad. so there will be more of this boldness too. and more sewing, more sharing, more creating, more discovery.
here's to expansion, trust, fearlessness, and mystery.
as my friend angelique says,
Rock Up!

Bling Sneakers!

you guessed it!
these are my metallic gold l.a.gear sneakers i scored at the freemont sunday market on mother's day, with suze and natasha, for $5!
it was righteous!

these beautiful embroidered flowers, from an old stained tablecloth that kirsten gave me to chop up, are covering the l.a.gear logo/branding.  just used fabric glue.
just perfectly!

haven't decided what/which laces, if any, i will weave in...

these are just so super comfy.
plus you know i can't resist the metallics.
remember the gold metallic bag i made from a mini skirt i found in nashville?!
and the metallic silver oxfords i purchased for a tune last winter?
lurve me some metallic friends!

maybe i'll wear these to crossfit! 
yeah!  that would be the shiz!

i bet i could surpass my 180lb dead lift with these super power sneakers on! 
ha!
i'm gonna try it and let ya know!

guess i'll be needing some laces!

SO FUN!

if you are new here or don't remember what a blast the last few pickathons have been, check it out here.  i guess i didn't do a Pthon post last year because i had just opened the shop and was so busy just keeping  my head above water :)

i will report back this year and in the mean time, have a lovely weekend.  be good.  do good things!

Doors & Paint

if you've been around here a while,
you know i have a thing for doors.

last week jasper and i went to visit our dear loves in port townsend and they took us to visit fort worden state park...
where i discovered all these neat doors and cool old paint.

i am such a sucker for a good ol' vintage patina!

i wish every surface of my house looked like this:
aged, worn, old, historical, like it has a story of it's own to tell.
i've checked out all the paint technique books from our local library.  it doesn't seem like you could get it to look this good.
this old.
i'm fascinated with doorways.
always have been.
for me they have a myriad of meaning:
access, exploration, discovery,
opportunity, opening, transition,
transcendence, a veil between the worlds, mystery,
the unknown, surprise, enlightenment.

and colors!
oh how i love these random bits,
not meant to be art but to patch and spackle, here and there
again, i would adore having any of the walls in my house look like any of these old, rusty, random and patched up walls.
i like the touch of pink
could these curious spatters simply be there to cover up unwanted graffiti...
perhaps so, but thank goodness they used random colors, and every one under the rainbow, never any two cover up jobs looking twinish.
love the drab colors too.
does anyone else besides me want the outside of their house to look like this?!  look this good?!

yes, please.  i'll take a random wall niche.

some graffiti that hadn't been covered yet,

thankfully.




this is one of my favorite photos in this set:
doorways and stairways...
don't get me started!

i want hallway walls like this.



fort worden is only one of a million cool places in port townsend to visit.  there are the beaches, the farms, the shops, the food, the friends!  we hope to spend a lot more time exploring PT this summer
and if you ever find my current house deserted upon arrival, come search for me in PT, where you'll likely find me setting up home and splattering paint every which way!

in the spirit of adventure,
xoxoxox

Tanzanian Fabric


this here is the lovely Ms. Sheina Lew-Levy.
she has recently come back from 6 months in Africa.
she's amazeballs!


and she was kind enough to bring me much yardage of tanzanian fabric to play with!


i plan to use this fabric for all variety of fun stuff: skirts, bag liners, totes, pillows, aprons, etc.
she brought me a lot!


what have you been sewing?  i have a whole pile of projects that need attention.  so hard to stay indoors on these nice summer days though.  thinking about moving my studio back to my house so i can work at night, in my jammies, without having to leave home!

gluing embroidered flowers on gold l.a.gear sneakers,
