We need fresh air and a minute in the sun.
So, for the months of March and April, we're opening our little headquarters on Sundays for a series of pop-ups featuring women-owned small businesses from our craftHER box, as well as grassroots causes we care about.
It's recommended to reserve your visiting slot ahead of time. 👋 We'll have a complimentary cocktail prepared for you, if you do.
As always, masks, social distancing and mutual respect are required.

— ABOUT THIS SUNDAY’S FEATURED BUSINESS —
THE MEDICINAL MELANGE FROM ELIZABETH RYAN
Elizabeth Ryan (she/her) is the sole proprietor of The Medicinal Melange, a holistic vegan apothecary in South Austin. Elizabeth has been working with plants her whole life, but felt called to herbalism and aromatherapy when her daughter was diagnosed with PANDAS and total healing wasn’t happening with prescription medicines. The Medicinal Melange is focused on introducing herbal healing to the community and cutting out harmful byproducts often associated with western medicine. Elizabeth is a prideful South Austinite, skater, wife, the mother of an unschooler, co-runs CIB Austin, and works closely with local mutual aid organizations while finding creative ways to give back to the community.
