👻 We’ve been a little quiet lately, but not gone!
Last week was back-to-school 🎒 (big adjustment in our house!), plus we’ve been stocking our pantry with canned tomatoes 🍅 and sneaking into the workshop.

The result?
✨ Blueberry & Strawberry jam are officially restocked—who’s almost out?? 🍓🫐
✨ Boo-tiful Halloween goodies 🎃🕸️ are on the way soon
✨ And… keep an eye out 👀 sourdough loaves will be making their debut soon! 🥖

Thanks for sticking with us—we promise it’ll be worth the wait 🧡

"When life gives you discard, make granola bars." 💛

Before: humble sourdough discard.
After: chewy, golden-brown, can’t-stop-eating Sourdough Granola Bars. 😍

Tonight’s episode of What Do We Do With All This Sourdough Discard? has a very snackable ending.
Would you eat these warm from the oven or wait until they cool? (No judgment either way.)

🥵 It feels like 103° today and we are not okay.

But starting tomorrow? 80s through Monday. That’s basically a cold front in Kansas!

Perfect weather to:
🪑 Build some chairs
🍓 Whip up more Kendi’s Kitchen goodies
😎 Not melt

What’s everyone planning to do outside once it’s not hotter than the business end of a blow-dryer?

🌙 The shop lights are on late and the kitchen smells like jam—
That can only mean one thing: we’re in full prep mode for
📍 3rd Saturday Craft Fair – August 16
📍 Colony Days – August 30

🪚 Surly Bear Studio is cranking out feeders, book holders, and porch-perfect Adirondack chairs.
🍓 Kendi’s Kitchen is stocked with jams, jellies, spice blends, and Cozy Cocoa to sweeten your day.

We’re sanding, stirring, and maybe stress-snacking—
but we can’t wait to see your faces and share all the handmade goodness we’ve been working on!
