outfit details:  top - tobi // jeans + belt - thrifted // shoes - wear floggs // necklace c/o joy dravecky // ring c/o evidence jewelry (there is a giveaway on my Instagram for this ring right now - @lauramazurek)


This top is absolutely one of my favorites right now.  I'm so in love with the style, the bell sleeves, all of it.  I tend to stray away from too much black just b/c of my furr babies and all their crazy fur everywhere, but sometimes I just can't help it.  Funny b/c in high school my closet was almost nothing but black. 

I love how Joy Dravecky's white & gold arrowhead ring pop against the black.  This necklace is so gorgeous with the balancing of masculine and feminine in the hard stone carved arrowhead and the delicate gold chain and edging.  It's simply stunning.  And if you love the black arrowhead ring from Evidence Jewelry as much as I do, run over to my instagram account (@lauramazurek) b/c I am having a giveaway for one!  Your choice of white or black!

If you do follow me on instagram, you probably saw about a month ago I found this amazing Mystique sign at a local thrift store.  I have found the most magical finds in that thrift store and I'm so so sad that they are having to close their doors b/c their lease for the building is up and they can no longer get it.  Over the past two years I have found, this sign, amazing crystals, wonderful metaphysical books, the most amazing velvet patchwork quilt, a pakistanian foot stool, a gorgeous carved wooden shelf from india, a gold velvet chair a friend gifted me, and many more little trinkets.  All things I will treasure forever.  Keeping my fingers crossed another building that will suit their needs and budget will pop up in our little town so they can continue their dream. 

P.S. well back later today with more Tee shirt releases from Skyline Fever!!!

ROOTS & FEATHERS UPDATE

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!

THE TAROT WITHIN // GUEST POST

The Tarot Within by Elle North

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.

The Tarot Within by Elle North

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.
