Annie's Passion Pop - Fundraiser Shrub

Hello friends and community,

*update: Thank you all so much for your incredible support! We have sold out of Annie's Passion Pop and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts ♥️*

I’m announcing a very special release of a seasonal shrub that comes with a whole lotta heart. This seasonal shrub is being released as a fundraiser for my beautiful dear friend of 23 years, Annie. Annie is one of the most beautiful, sparkly, inspiring, creative, intelligent, generous, joie de vivre friends that I have. I cherish her and our friendship with all of my heart. Annie has metastatic breast cancer and has been fighting it now for five years. As is the case with metastatic breast cancer, eventually the drugs that have been keeping it at bay stop working and once that cancer is on the move it’s ferocious and quick to spread. I’m devastated to think that my time with Annie is so limited, and I’m doing everything I can to support her and her beautiful family as they navigate this incredibly hard time. 

Annie is a type of person who is compulsively creative. She never stops. She knits, she sews, she builds a straw bale house, she tufts rugs, she carves spoons ffs. She does everything with fierce passion and gifts constantly to her loved ones. She puts all of her love into the things that she makes, it’s been her life‘s work. 

To honour her, I felt the only thing that I could do would be to put together a product that also reflected all of my love for her as a maker. I wanted to transform raw materials into a celebration and a gift the best way I know how- so I’m releasing this very limited, seasonal shrub of which all proceeds will go to directly to Annie. 

It’s Annie‘s Passion Pop. A shrub of local fresh passionfruit and passionflower, with a dash of our traditional aromatic bitters. It is uplifting, fruity and complex, and like Annie- it’s a joy to experience. I would love it if I could sell out and sell out quickly because I want to get these funds to Annie‘s family as soon as possible. I’m hoping you will jump on and support my dear friend in her cancer journey and help our hearts a little as we navigate life’s big mysteries, gifts and losses. Also it’s bloody delicious and when it’s gone it’s gone. That’s life I guess.

Thank you so much friends, I love you.
