As a transplanted resident of Stillwater, MN, originally from Hayward, I’m delighted to offer my health-supporting natural tea and beverage blends, along with other handcrafted gift items, here at archaicnotions.com.

My passion is promoting organic, natural alternatives and actively removing processed or corporatized items from my life. As a student of Naturopathy, I believe the best way to solve any problem is by addressing its root cause. This philosophy extends to the safe, natural, and healthy choices we make for our bodies and our homes.

I am a mother to two adult daughters and three adult stepsons, whose families have grown to include twenty people, with spouses and grandchildren. Outside of my “real job,” I focus on re-purposing, self-help, inspiration, and spirituality. I am an avid collector of vintage décor and an up-cycling enthusiast who deeply appreciates creativity and seeing the potential in items others have overlooked or discarded.

I’ve also begun creating wall and tabletop art, featuring photography, metalwork, inspirational quotes, and more. Additionally, I offer services and products for decorating apparel and drinkware.

We gladly accept commissioned requests for custom projects, including unique lights, bars built from old cars, furniture refinishing, and any other inventive idea you have for decorating your home with a touch of the past.
