New Hampshire Pagans Faire 2026

@nhpfaireandevent by @clay.n.copper

there is so much you donʻt see behind the scenes of vendor life….. like the parenting we do amidst it.. the months of planning and making on our end and the endless work of the coordinators of an event..
the long nights, no paycheck, and sometimes even low sales markets that barely cover booth fees and gas..

and after the event, the long drives, the day unpacking, and setting up our canopies when we are home to dry everything off after a rain takedown.. (excuse the lumpy disheveled coats! Sunday was rain vending!)

it makes it all so much more enjoyable when we have vendor friends and good kind people running the show…

our vendor community is tight and we shore one another up….. it takes some real grit to do this kind of work and especially with kids in tow..

mad respect and gratitude, sistahladyfriend badass mommaboss @clay.n.copper 🖤
so glad we got to park together for the weekend! it would have been a very different experience without ya

and thank you to the loyal Pagans Faire attendees who showed up and supported our grassroots indie work in spite of the rain!
you help us keep food on our tables… this isnʻt a side gig. we feed our families and our children stay clothed and have good winter boots with this heart work..

great experience! wonderful community!

and yes…. that mug went home with me! i have no shame about my growing collection of gorgeous Clay & Copper pottery… ✨🖤✨

Thank you @nilda_cookie !!!!
The absolute best surprise… and my kids are pretty happy too!

🍪 Everyone who grew up in or around #Poughkeepsie knows these cookies.

And I’m lucky to have memories of driving around to “help” deliver them and stealing cookie dough from the fridge.

What a great taste of childhood!!! by @clay.n.copper

What a BIG day! Ayla’s first day of High School and Jack turns 16!!!! Wow… by @clay.n.copper

Sometimes you just have to jump… taking a big risk today, firing these pieces that I have lovingly labored over for the last few weeks… they aren’t ready… but neither am I…

I am leaning into trust, that sometimes you just need to leap forward into the abyss… because you might never FEEL ready… and it’s better to try, stumble and learn… than to never try to fly at all!

I am she who navigates the eye of the storm with ample Love. #sisters #sisterhood #healing #growth #risk by @clay.n.copper

🔮What is it about that special object that becomes a ritual, grounding you on the most challenging of days? Maybe it's the coffee cup ☕️ that starts your morning, afternoon tea 🍵in the afternoon, or the small space where you smudge sage to cleanse your mind and breathe with intention. 🏺

🪷 Whatever it might be for you, we're pretty sure you will find it at @clay.n.copper! See their website for more items of beauty and ritual: https://www.clayncopper.com/
Of course, if you want to see it for yourself, you must come to the @summerinsurry Art + Craft Market!

🪷Described by the artist, Courtney Nelson, as "Small batch ceramics made with intention for ritual and home. Uniquely designed to honor nature, magic, and the divine feminine," the photos accompanying this post exemplify these qualities and more.🧚🏼‍♀️🌲🧙🏻

Meet Courtney and 15 other talented folks at the Summer in Surry, Local Art + Craft Market on July 18, from 10-4pm at the Old Surry Village School! by @clay.n.copper

One of the best Mothers Day gifts I received yesterday was this rainbow on our drive home.
Amila was only 4 when my Mother passed, but they have so much in common.
Shortly after, we were driving in the car and Amila started asking about rainbows, saying she has never seen one in real life. Not 5 mins later did one appear over the horizon, and Amila, my intuitive little being, said “that was a gift from Bumba”.
Now every rainbow is a gift from her! by @clay.n.copper
