A Saturday morning in April 2026 dawns bright and beautiful

April 25, 2026

Good morning to you.

We are enjoying clear blue skies over the Willamette Valley in the Pacific Northwest

As some of you know, goimagine's Marketplace has officially closed their doors after 6 years of operation. It was a wonderful run and I will miss it immensely.

All good things come to an end. Thank you goimagine and the wonderful team who made it a beautiful and thoughtful site.

Praise and admiration to goimagine for donating $32,000 to childrens' charities through the years and for daring to help make the world a better place.

And, if one endeavors to move forward, other doors open. You are now reading my first blog. Seriously, I really do not like that word. Blog. Such a crude expression for one's thoughts, facts, and figures.

To host my new Wild Gatherings website, I have joined the IndieMade tidal wave! Of course, it is a proverbial "learning curve", but isn't everything? I find I thrive on learning and discovering new tips and tricks while setting up my site. So much so that the lawn goes un-mowed, the dishes un-washed, and my laundry - hah. I get zeroed in on building my new website and simply have a blast changing things up and discovering new options.

You are here, which means you found me and my Wild Gatherings. My shop is fine, just fine.

May you and all beings be well, happy, and at peace.

Have a day. Shirley
