Fashion – Seattle
Incense and Peppermints is an evolving collaborative effort between Hippy Frank and Cherry Spirit Herbs.
Not long after finishing up our season at the park we made a decision to turn our backs on mainstream mentality and go against the grain. We spent a month living and working at a beautiful intentional community near Tucson, AZ and that was the experience which sealed the deal. We were hooked on off-grid simple living.
We headed out to a small parcel of raw land Cherri owned in the Painted Desert and decided to "go for it." We basically took nothing more than the clothes on our back, some bulk food, and our old Dodge van out on a tattered old country road to the land...And there we stayed for the most part of 8 wonderful years.
We adopted goats, chickens, and various fowl; Got by selling at the local open air market our home-made goat cheese, canned goods, earth oven baked bread, herbal medicines, and about anything we could create with our own two hands.
Fast forward to 2013... We are now grandparents, and being that AZ was too far from all of the grand children, we chose to move-on to the Gypsy life. We have lived in community a time-or-two since our original experience and are currently bouncing around in our motor home with our two dogs Gaia and Gandhi.
With our new life-style Cherri and I quickly realized that our previous source of income was probably not going to work well for us. Being that Cherri has many clients via the internet, one of our commie friends suggested that she try etsy.com . She very quickly found that Etsy seemed to encourage the sense of community that we had learned to love so much.
So...Here we are present day. We have branched out since our early Esty days, and loving every minute of it! We believe in buying local, using repurposed fibers, and supporting Mom and Pop outlets whenever possible. I truly hope you enjoy our new shop Incense and Peppermints, and ask that you stop by often, and show us the love.
