Work and why we do what we do means a lot here. We have built a thriving community of entrepreneurs, and I’m excited to reconnect the corporate dots, to create a space for working professionals locally.

From the beginning of April to the middle of May I traveled approximatel 15,000 miles by car, airplane, bus, uber, on foot and in a camper van beneath the northern lights.

It was a nest & rest Mother’s Day weekend in the shop, on the sidelines and at home .. with a SURPRISE explore & soar Mother’s Day gift of flight to visit my daughter in Ireland (leaving tonight).

“Every stitch tells a story, and so does every number.” This beautiful intersection of career and craft launching together after a 20+ year in corporate accounting is rooted in storytelling and a clarity of passion and purpose.

This Bird & Bear is back from 5 days in Iceland ~ a truly immersive wilderness experience ~ personally & professionally…

This weekend as we sat on our new blue couch and watched on TV what began at this home, I lifted my coffee cup in gratitude for what’s been and renewed hope for what is still to come.

We were delighted to be featured in the local Holliston newspaper in an article entitled “Women of Holliston: Past, Present & Future” and written by Jessica Ommen.

We are thrilled to welcome Margaret Aldrich, The Traveling Seamstress, as a new seasonal resident & member of The Bird & Bear Collective!

I invite you to put down your backpack, as we each gather around the metaphorical bonfire under the twinkle lights in the Bird & Bear wilderness.

Welcome The Crafted Goat Artistry , a whimsical art and stationary company.

On the last day of February I climbed and stood atop of the mountain of snow that is in front of the Bird & Bear building.

It is often really really hard to explain or capture everything that happens, or could happen, at the Bird & Bear in a given week. Here is a look at just this past week ~ it was pure Bird & Bear magic:

We are embracing the energy with intention, and a thoughtfully curated (& super cute) collection in the shop!

We are open today. Not in resistance to the resistance. Not in a naivety or dismissiveness. We are open because…

As we stepped into January, worried and weary, for a world that feels heavier and more divided by the day, I contemplated a 2026 “Word of the Year” that I hoped might capture our collective sentiment and hope for the year ahead.

A little look at how we have stepped into the New Year here at the Bird & Bear.
