More adventures in farmland. We have 2 (and a half :) new animals on our farm! They came at the end of September and have settled in nicely. Except the one Sunday morning when they escaped and were running in the front yard. At least it happened BEFORE church and not after we had left. Anyway, allow us to introduce...

We love to laugh. Who doesn't? And we love a good meme, so today's post is a collection of some of our favorite memes! We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

(Most of us have literal folders dedicated to memes on our phones/computers, so this is just a small sampling :) Which one is your favorite?

We noticed a lot of dogs at our various farmer's markets and thought, "we need a product for dog owners and their dogs". After some thought, we came up with these hand-forged copper ID tags!

These are the CUTEST things we've made yet! Most of our products are evergreen and work no matter the time of year but these four are seasonal-specific and will definitely be one of your most unique decorations this fall/Christmas season. (Scroll to the bottom for a bonus product!)

Mark's space got an upgrade! It was a LOT of work, and we didn't love moving all the machines up the stairs, but now he has more space, all the shops are in the same building (okay, not the forge), and there is an insulated room for finishing!

One of the things we like doing with our products is taking functional, regular items and making them unique. Giving a little extra to something ordinary. We do that most with our different hook options and we are excited for this newest variant!

Can you believe it?! We are celebrating the one-year anniversary of Grafted Branch Artisans!!!! It's been quite a year and we have learned a LOT! There have also been a lot of changes. Let's do a brief recap.

We got two Great Pyrenees dogs from Tennessee at the beginning of this month, but this was not a sudden thing. Once we found them, we pulled the trigger on getting them quickly, but to get to this point, we have to go back to 2017 and another trip to Tennessee.

June is when Dan and the boys started working on the barn projects. Back in the winter, Mark started this work with the removal of the milking stalls. After Dan retired, there was some organizing that needed to happen before the work on the second floor and woodshop could begin but things are finally gearing up!

This past year we have started doing an intentional family night each week. With the kids being adults and having their own schedules, it's not as easy to do things together as it used to be. Some weeks it seems like we only have one or two dinners as a family! (That's rare though). While we love game or movie nights, we got this Adventure Challenge book for Christmas a few years back and decided to start going through it.
