Dandelion Relief Balm

The Vitamin C in the Dandelion plant is incredible for skin: it speeds up the healing process, thus reducing the visibility of skin blemishes, scars, and inflammation.  Great for cuts, scrapes, and burns, this balm will work equally well on dry, chapped lips and skin. 

Made with vibrant, Vermont grown Dandelions, Living Libations Essential Oils,  and 100% American Made Beeswax, this Relief Balm is the perfect relief for cracked hands and heels, dry skin, and chapped lips. Grab one for yourself and one to gift as all the proceeds will go to help Hurricane Harvey victims and survivors. 

At least $5 (or more!) from the sale of every tin will go to The Homeless Period Project of Austin, Texas--a wonderful organization that helps women obtain tampons, pads, and other period-needed health items during disasters. I'll be offering this Balm and a donation from the sale of it during September, October, and November (or while supplies last).

Tattoo Health and You: A Workshop

INKDOG owner Becca Blust and PATCH OF SKY FARM owner Joanna Wilson Phillips, CNE proudly present 

TATTOO HEALTH AND YOU: A WORKSHOP at Patch of Sky Farm Studio (The Whetstone Studio for the Arts, 28 Williams Street, Brattleboro, VT, 05301). Second floor, Studio IV (4). 1pm-4pm.

You asked for it and it's coming atcha! Patch of Sky Farm and Inkdog are creating a Tattoo Health workshop to help answer all your tattoo care questions!  During the class we will touch on skin health before, during, and after your tattoo, how to eat for skin health to ensue a great recovery, how to communicate with tattoo shop owners and artists to ensure you get what you want, and what health and safety features to look for when you walk into your tattoo studio....and what to run away from.  We'll also make skincare, temporary tattoos, and snack on some delicious skin healing treats. We hope you can join us for an educational afternoon!

(Minors wishing to get tattoo work done are encouraged to attend with their parents or guardians)

Making something out of nothing is such an adrenaline rush for me. I felt it when I used to play music full time, I feel it when I cook, and I feel it when I craft. When do you feel that rush of adrenaline that keeps you excited about your work? -Joanna #adrenaline #adrenalinerush #creativity #creativejuices #workinghands #womenwhocreate #womenwhocraft #diy #milkpaint #patchofskyfarm (at Patch of Sky Farm)

I'm so happy I finally found the right color backing for a beautifully chipped drinking glass that I loved: farmhouse white. I'm kind of sort of getting the hang of #milkpaint, too. Kind of. Sort of.😉 #hangingvase #wallhanging #masonjarvase #upcycledmasonjar #masonjarwallhangingvase #patchofskyfarm #VT #drinkingglass #vase (at Patch of Sky Farm)

This beautiful property we live on never ceases to amaze me. Today's surprise: #milkthistle, in full bloom. Chock full of Vitamin E and fantastic for detoxifying your liver, this versatile "weed"'s (yeah, right!) seeds can be used on the skin while the root, flowers, and leaves are edible. Crazy!! Well, it looks like I have a bit more harvesting work this week than I thought. I'm totally fine with that 🌸 #edibleplants #seedsforyourskin #pleasantsurprise #everydayisanadventure #organicskincare #farmtoskin #patchofskyfarm #VT (at Patch of Sky Farm)

I had such a great time experimenting with my new #milkpaint today. It was my first time working with it and I was thoroughly impressed with the versatility, hue, ease of mixing, and the short dry time. I will be working this week to turn some leftover planks of wood and some AWESOME antique jars and vases into unique wall hangings.

Did you know: tomatoes are an excellent source Vitamin C and Vitamin K. They are also a very good source of copper, potassium, dietary fiber, Vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene), Vitamin B6, Folate, Vitamin E, and Phosphorus. What does this mean exactly? It means that tomatoes are good for eyes, skin, teeth, and hair and a good source of ruffage to aid in digestion. These little guys are definitely resilient, too: despite a drought they still grew and ripened. If it's true that you are what you eat, eat some more tomatoes; grow and ripen despite the drought🌱🍅 #despitethedrought #grow #tomatofacts #nutritionfacts #patchofskyfarm #VT #culinarynutrition #culinarynutritionexpert (at Patch of Sky Farm)

I spent a good part of this morning arguing with our photo printer, but I FINALLY got my labels to line up correctly. So pleased with the placeholder tester labels I came up with and I can't wait to send them out to all those who volunteered to test! Have you signed up to test our product yet? Send me a DM and I'll put you on the list! 📝 #producttesterswanted #averylabels #kraftlabels #homebusiness #patchofskyfarm #VT #smallbusiness #skinsalve #tattoosalve #organictattoocare #organicskincare #ladybug (at Patch of Sky Farm)

It looks like good luck is headed my way! 🐛 (I admit, I helped luck along by making a phone call, having a meeting, and getting myself some upcoming work...sometimes you just gotta help luck along!) #grasshopper #goodluck #goodomen #VT #patchofskyfarm #farmlife (at Patch of Sky Farm)
