One of the many fun events happening in the Mountain Arts District this weekend!

We also have some great workshops at this Saturday's festivities! Don't sleep on the chance to learn a tune from the reigning West Virginia State Fiddle Champion Tessa McCoy or study with one of the most sought-after recording artists and producers in our state, Chance McCoy!
Also, level-up your traditional dance skills with Tony and Kyre-Anna Minney, who have been tirelessly teaching square dancing to the youth of West Virginia for more than a decade while also serving up some of the best square dance calling this state has to offer.

Today is a BIG DAY! My second book, “Tiny Worlds of the Appalachian Mountains: An Artist’s Journey” is officially available for pre-order. 🎊

With 150+ watercolor paintings and illustrated maps and countless journal entries and essays, I’m so proud of this book.

Pre-orders are HUGELY impactful for letting bookstores know that my book is worth carrying on their shelves. This is a regional book, which means that it will be a bit harder to capture the attention of bookstores and media. I knew that going into this project, but THIS was the story that my soul wanted to tell. That being said, I appreciate every single pre-order, share, and shout-out more than you know!

*Signed pre-order copies* are available through a lovely West Virginia independent bookstore, Four Seasons Books. Find all pre-order links here: https://rosaliehaizlett.com/pages/tiny-worlds-book

Thank you. Thank you for continuing to support the work that fills me up. I hope this book fills you up, too!

My deepest gratitude ❤️

If you’ve never visited Mycelium in downtown Elkins, you’re in for a treat!

In the spirit of National Small Business Week, here's a peek behind the curtain of Mycelium, an Elkins-based small business for creatives ✨🍄🙌

Emily Prentice, the heart behind .shop, embarked on her journey with a passionate desire to cultivate a warm and inclusive haven in her rural Appalachian community, especially for those often marginalized. She dreamed of fostering abundance for local artists and providing a welcoming embrace for youngsters navigating life with marginalized identities. 🫶

For Emily, being at the helm of Mycelium means navigating a delicate dance between joy and responsibility, where each decision carries weight, yet every effort is steeped in love and accountability. Despite the inevitable challenges, she finds solace and purpose in the profound connection to her community. 🫂

At the heart of Mycelium's ethos lies a commitment to community involvement and collaboration, where the boundaries between owner and community members blur into a tapestry of shared dreams and aspirations. Emily cherishes the moments when she steps back and allows the collective spirit of the community to take the lead, embracing the beauty of decentralized structures and the power of genuine listening. 💞

In her journey, Emily found support and encouragement from the Tamarack Foundation for the Arts, whose financial backing and guidance provided a vital boost to Mycelium's growth. Grateful for their support, Emily cherishes the connections forged and the opportunities that have blossomed as a result. 🎉

Individuals looking to support Mycelium and Emily's vision are invited to join them on their journey through social media, newsletters brimming with updates on classes and events, and lively conversations in their welcoming Discord community. 🥰
