Collect and Gather is the heart and soul of Shovel + Spade. When Iโ€™m not working you can find beachcombing the shores of Lake Michigan.ย This blog combines my love for our planet and the treasures I happen upon when I clean it.ย Tumblr

Near daily walks on our shores of Lake Michigan has transformed me from an Earth steward to a Water Keeper, where I comb the shores for garbage & plastic debris, developing a keen and curious eye, deepening my passion for our natural world. Super stoked for the Spring Flea๐ŸŒท๐Ÿ‘ This Sunday Iโ€™ll be popping up with new work at the @414flea Throwback to last Spring at @thecraftyfair ๐ŸŒธ 2026 Spring Events ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿ„ When fungi & algae get together they naturally take a LICHEN to each other ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ„ #lichen #inspiredbynature #marbledart #ilovewool #madeinwisconsin I sold a record number of Woolly Cups over the holiday season, with multiple shoppers returning to buy more! Individually handcrafted & one of a kind, art meets both comfort and function utilizing the tactile feel of wool. Woollys invite us to slow down & enjoy more, promoting more mindful living, easily turning the everyday into ritual. โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽจโ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿคฒ Feels like weโ€™re ending an awful year on a higher note & I couldnโ€™t be more grateful for my friends, family & flock!! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿซถ May 2026 put our passions forward, kindness center stage & egos aside. HNY!!Cheers!!! ๐Ÿชฉ๐Ÿฅ‚ Happy Solstice! โ„๏ธโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŽ„ This was my first market season offering styles and designs you can find in my shop in a market setting.

My work combines the ancient medium of felting with contemporary form and modern color, by seamlessly encasing a variety of glassware and beverage items with a one of a kind, insulating Woolly sleeve. Each item is individually hand-formed, from local, ethically sourced wool. The movement and fluidity of working in the round allows for colors to dance and weave together creating organic contrasting patterns on every piece.ย
