Slow Traditions

Quite honestly, we love technology! It has enlarged our world in ways we never imagined and brought our family so many opportunities. It has expanded our reach, connected us with new cultures and introduced us to many new friends!

At the same time, we value ‘slow traditions.’ These traditions provide an opportunity to spend rich time with others, to consider the source of what sustains us, and brings us back to our creative center as humans.

For us, ‘slow’ is a philosophy–a grass-roots response–to a fast society. It helps us consider the ethics and sustainability of patterns of life and of ways of being together.

Join new friends and old as we linger together in the present and explore slow traditions.

Our Common Life

Our loveliest moments are those when time freezes and the eternal seems to hang suspended softly, allowing us to soak in the moment. It is then we’re aware of the dappled light on trees, the song of a bird, or a child observing nature in wonder and awe.

@ElderberryHollow, we are growing a long-held vision of fostering generous and generative conversation and slow traditions around food, clothing, and community.

We look forward to joining new friends and old as we linger together in the present and explore the richness of slow traditions.

Dappled Beauty

Dappled beauty is incomparable …
Spotted trout that swim in a stream.
         A fox sparrow’s unique markings.
                  The fold and fallow of the land.
                             Velvet moss on granite and twigs.
Over the past year, I’ve fallen in love with artisan hand-dyed and gradient yarns. I recently added Autumn in Italy (pictured) from Sundara Yarn to my stash. I can hardly wait to start knitting with these exquisitely dappled fibers!
