Greetings Cascadia comrades, I decided to do this a tad differently this year. My thread about micro homesteading is in the homesteading section, but I decided to divide it and put those general things there, and put specifics here, like when/where I'm performing, when my yard stand for garden goodies and vintage and etc. is open for people to come visit, and any other events I end up hosting here (hoping to eventually host a trade blanket night once a month, etc. but we're not quite there yet)
Its 2026 now, mindblowing I know.
On NYE in the afternoon I busked for tips at Laurelhurst Park, a favourite singing location and made great tips, last chance to sing Christmas songs out and about before people are overtly tired of them haha.
If you live in OR or WA feel encouraged to friend me on facebook, I'm Riona Abhainn there. I do facebook live concerts on there some times.
I was able to have the garden-and-vintage+ stand open the other day when we had sun, I think neighbours are starting to clue in about the whole thing, because things are starting to be bought, it was my second time being open. I've sold things in other formats in the past, had a booth at a vintage mall until said mall closed, etc. but I think this is going to be the best formula for me in selling things. I also occasionally sell larger ticket items on facebook marketplace, but with the way my disabilities work I need my husband to help me with that so we don't do it a ton. I like doing things I need minimal or no help with.
Celtic/fantasy/folk/shanty singing at Renaissance faires, fantasy festivals, and other events in OR and WA, USA.
