ROOTS & FEATHERS UPDATE

July 10, 2014 Laura Mazurek

This was a tough a decision, but I decided to temporarily put my Made To Order section on hold in my shop. This happens to be my favorite sections, with most of my favorite pieces, especially when I get to customize them for you guys! But lately I have just simply had too much on my plate and I'm going in too many directions to be able to keep up with my orders in a timely manner. It is not right for me to have offerings available that I cannot keep up with. So Ive decided when times are too busy, I will be taking these items down, and when I feel like things have freed up a bit, I will return them.

Right now I am in a busy season of splitting my attention between Roots & Feathers, The Bohemian Collective and Skyline Fever, and all three places have been hoppin' and needing my full attention. I'm spreading myself too thin I have realized, at least for the time being. So just bare with me!

Those of you who I have already told I would create a custom for, don't worry, I will still keep my word! They may just take a bit longer than usual. Being in business for yourself and wearing so many hats truly does come with some lessons!

PIECES OF HOME

THE TAROT WITHIN // GUEST POST

The Tarot Within - An 8-week Journey through the Tarot with Elle North

I fell in love with the Tarot slowly. We had a long and lingering courtship. I would play with my friend's deck and get lost staring at the imagery in each card. I would get my cards read at a local cafe once a month and during my first reading, with The High Priestess, The Hermit, The Hierophant, the 2 of Swords and the Queen of Swords on the table, the Tarot reader said to me, "I have never seen these cards come together for one person. You should read the Tarot." Finally, with my own deck in hand, I would shuffle the cards every night and pull a card. I would study it, write down what I saw and what the little booklet that came with the cards said. What I was most intrigued by, though, was my own interpretation. I liked looking at what the book said, but I wanted to get to know my cards on my own too. So I studied. I listened. I trusted. My friends and I would sit on the floor, drinking Spanish wine and asking questions. I'd lay out the cards, and the words would come pouring out of my mouth. Sometimes I didn't know where I got the information from...it was just there.

To be honest, when I opened up that box of 78 cards for the first time, I was intimidated. I mean -- that's a lot to memorize, to read into, to figure out. But instead of letting that overwhelm me, I decided to do things my own way. & what resulted was a deep understanding of not only the Tarot, but of myself.

And that's what I've pieced together in my 8 week course, The Tarot Within. It's full of meditations, journal prompts, soul-searching, goal-setting, ritual, and ceremony. In this way, you connect to each individual card and not only develop your own meaning of the card, but also are able to apply the message of the card to your life. This helps you to integrate it into your memory with ease. It's a journey with the creative soul in mind.

The Tarot Within E-course is for you if you want to...

>>Be guided forward on your spiritual quest

>>find clarity on your path

>>connect to your intuition

>>gain confidence with Tarot readings

>>connect to your Tarot deck

>>immerse yourself in a deep & personal learning experience

In this course, you'll get daily emails for 8 weeks leading you to a special password protected course area. You can start the course at any time. You'll get a chance to develop your own interpretation of each card along with learning the traditional meanings. You'll have a feeling of clarity when you pull a card from your deck, and you'll be supported by other students in a special-access Facebook group for students.

// & as a special gift, I will give a 1-card Tarot Mini Reading to everyone who signs up for the course.

What I wore on a little date with the boy last week. I swear I could wear Novella bell bottoms everyday of my life and never get tired of them! These ones are my personal favorite. Their new collection is about to drop and I can't wait to see what it looks like. So far, Ive never been disappointed!

The past few days have kind of been a blur. We went to Wimberely on the 4th and spent the day there. It was sooooo hot we decided to leave earlier than planned, and I got on an Icee on the way home, something I haven't had since I was young, and within an hour I had a migraine forming. I'm not sure if it was just the sugar, or a combo of the sugar and heat and lack of enough water throughout the day, but it became a 3 day on and off headache. Just when I think its finally gone, bam, it returns. It came back full force in my sleep last night, but luckily I was able to fall back asleep and actually get some deep sleep and it feels good this morning so far! Even though they weren't full blown for most of the time they still suck when they linger... Like they are saying, don't make any sudden move or Ill come back at anytime! So hopefully Im in the clear!

I was able to get some new jewels made in between rest and they are in the shop now! Ive also been working on editing photos for the next boho collective lookbook release! I can't wait to share some exciting news about The Bohemian Collective that Im working on! This are really shifting and growing over there and I couldn't be happier!

Oh, and guess what!!! I found my peacock chair in wimberely!!!! Ill share some pics of it soon for those of you who don't follow me on instagram. I'm so in love.... Ive been manifesting it in my mind the last few weeks and I had no idea it would come this soon!

P.S. Ill be adding a new giveaway today, so be on the lookout for it under the 'giveaway' tab.
