The GrassRoots Garbage Gang has spent the last 25 years helping keep our beaches clean and our coastline beautiful through the efforts of ordinary people showing up and doing the work.

To help support this year's July 5th Beach Cleanup, they're hosting a silent auction fundraiser in our shop.

If you're curious about the cleanup, interested in volunteering, or want to learn more about what they've accomplished over the years, stop in and take a look at their table. It's a great opportunity to connect with the folks behind the effort and find out how to get involved.

A healthy community is built by people who care enough to participate. 🌊🦀🧹

A quick oven update!

Thanks to the crew at EZ Propane, our smaller oven is back up and running and we'll have a few more items making their way onto the shelves throughout the day.

We're now waiting on an electrician to hook up the new oven and for parts to arrive for the other one. Not exactly how we planned to spend the day, but learning to adapt seems to be part of the job description around here.

We're also incredibly grateful for everyone who has stopped in for tea, pantry staples, apothecary offerings, and baked treats while we've worked through the challenge.

Available now: PB & J Cookie Sandwiches, Gluten-Free Strawberry Shortcake, & Lemon Snack Cake

If you're nearby, we'd love to see you. 🍞✨

Well... the oven has decided it has thoughts and feelings of its own this morning.

Unfortunately we're working with a very limited menu today while we sort through an equipment issue. The good news is that the folks at EZ Propane are already here helping us get things back up and running and an upgrade is on the way that will make production much more efficient once we're through this little adventure.

One of the things entrepreneurship teaches rather quickly is that plans are useful right up until reality offers a different one. Adaptation is what allows things to evolve and choosing how we respond to challenges is often more important than the challenge itself.

We're hopeful we'll be baking bread this afternoon. In the meantime, we have snack cakes, cookie sandwiches, and a shop full of apothecary goods, pantry staples, and other fun finds.

If you're out and about, we'd love to see you. 🫶🏼✨️

Belief is the architect of reality. It’s the field we hold around us, shaping the way imagination moves from thought into form. Every desire, every decision, every action we take rests on what we believe to be possible.

Our beliefs aren't abstract. They are the lens through which we see the world, the measure of what we think we can or can't do. They either expand our potential or narrow it. And when we aren’t mindful of where we place them, the results can get distorted.

Holding a strong and coherent field of belief is part of the work of creating. It’s what allows imagination to move from the realm of ideas, through the plane of the mind and into the physical world. Every creation begins here, in the unseen, before it becomes something we can hold in our hands.

The shelves at the shop are filling up with pieces born from this process, breads, teas, annd handmade offerings that began as sparks of vision that were shaped into form with care. Imagination and intention, now made tangible.

We’ve been unboxing new inventory all week and can't wait to share it with you all. 🫶🏼✨️

It's interesting to think about how much knowledge was developed simply because people paid attention.

Long before modern science could explain why something worked, people were observing patterns in the natural world and passing those observations along through generations. Over time many of those observations became traditions folklore, & ways of relating to the world around them.

We now carry moon calendar wheels in the shop. They'll be available tomorrow for anyone who enjoys gardening or simply contemplating how ancient wisdom often begins with careful observation.

We've stocked a collection of fun vegetable seeds from Sow the Magic and they might be some of the prettiest seed packets we've ever seen. 😍

For most of human history, knowledge lived in people. Skills survived because someone took the time to teach and someone else cared enough to learn.

A great deal of what humanity knows has been carried forward this way. Wisdom was developed through relationship. It wasn't passed through institutions or online courses.

Every generation has had people who devoted themselves to a craft and became keepers of knowledge. Some learned from mentors. Others learned through years of observation, experimentation, and hard-earned experience. They invested years of their lives learning through failure and persistence.

Dough happens to be what we're learning right now, but the lessons feel much bigger than bread. Being entrusted with knowledge that took another person years to acquire is a big deal.

Today, we're feeling grateful for the people who've shared what they know with us and grateful for the opportunity to take our place these traditions.

Since moving into the new space, one of the more interesting things for us to observe has been how people respond to change.

New ideas are being introduced & new offerings are finding their place. DuneSide's vision is continuing to evolve and it's evident that some people immediately enjoy what's taking shape while others are still relating to it through what existed before.

We've been having a lot of conversations about what's happening here and felt called to share what we're noticing. What's stood out to us is how quickly people create stories in order to orient themselves within an experience.

The same changes can feel exciting to one person, confusing to another, inspiring to a third, and unnecessary to someone else. The thing itself remains the same, yet the interpretation changes depending on who is observing it.

The longer we've watched the process, the more it's felt like a small example of something much larger...

Human beings are now encountering more information, perspectives, and belief systems than at any other point in history. It wasn't long ago that most people spent their lives surrounded primarily by family, neighbors, and a relatively shared set of cultural assumptions. Today, a person can encounter dozens of competing worldviews before breakfast.

Perhaps that's why perspective matters so much. The stories we tell help us orient ourselves, but they aren't the whole of reality. They’re just interpretations of it.

With the world becoming increasingly interconnected it seems learning how to remain grounded while holding space for complexity may be one of the more important skills of our time.

Happy Wednesday, see you all Friday! 🫶🏼✨️
