we're Djing at valentine's on december 5th

so i put a little collaborative music project together recently. it's really really making me happy- the first edition of MOONUNITS will be complete on december 2, and we will be DJing out at valentine's december 5th, and debuting the first edition of the project along with playing all our favorite disco and funk classic jams.
the way it works-women are invited to compose and record -solo- individual songs, in any genre, between each lunar cycle, to be started and completed on the full moon of each month. then each edition will be archived on the website kerby and i are designing for it- it will be ready by the first of the year.
contact me if you want to contribute..it will be an ongoing project and open to anyone interested.

forestbound bags

Just arrived are sword+fern's very own collection of 10 FORESTBOUND bags, by Alice Saunders of Massachusetts. Each one has their own hand-typed tag explaining where the raw materials came from to make the bag. Alice uses exclusively found and salvaged materials - like worn in and softened canvas from WW11 mail and laundry bags- to create durable, utilitarian tote bags. great effort is put into hunting for well-worn historic textiles and hardware throughout New England. Much time and care is spent working with these unique materials to make every Forestbound bag one of a kind. I especially love the tiny details like stitched-over holes, original stamped lettering and numbering, and antiqued brass grommets and closures. These are very special. Thank you, Alice!
