Magic is Afoot - Returning to Our Roots

Change is often the spark that reignites passion and creativity. For us, the decision to rename our website from By Her Fires to Sosanna's Closet marks more than just a new title. It represents a heartfelt return to the place where our journey began before Hurricane Matthew swept through and changed everything. This transformation is about reclaiming our identity, reconnecting with our community, and embracing the handmade crafts that defined us.

Returning to Our Beginnings

Before the storm, our vardo was more than a mobile shop; it was a symbol of creativity and connection. Elijah built "Strange Magic" as we called her from the ground up. We traveled, vending at markets and fairs, sharing our handmade goods with people who appreciated the care and story behind each piece.

Hurricane Matthew destroyed that space, forcing us to pause and rethink our path.

Now, with Sosanna's Closet, we are stepping back into that world with renewed energy. This change is about more than a name, it’s about restoring the spirit of what we loved doing. We want to bring back the handmade goods that made us unique, including:

• Wire weaving pieces crafted with patience and precision

• Pottery shaped by hands that know the clay intimately

• Upcycled found keepsakes that carry stories and new life

  
  

These crafts are not just products; they are expressions of creativity and sustainability, honoring the past while building a future.

Our commitment to the community remains strong. The Blessing Box of Goldsboro has been a vital part of our mission to support those in need. We will continue to focus on this effort, ensuring that our work benefits more than just our customers.

By combining our handmade goods with community support, Sosanna's Closet aims to create a space where art and kindness meet. This balance is essential to who we are and what we want to offer.

Our new website will showcase the full range of our handmade creations. Here’s what you can look forward to:

• Unique wire weaving designs that blend traditional techniques with modern aesthetics

• Hand-built pottery & clay sculptures featuring functional and decorative pieces, each with its own character

• Creative upcycled keepsakes made from found objects, turning the old into something beautiful and new

  
  

We will also share stories behind each item, giving you insight into the inspiration and process. This transparency connects you to the craft and the maker, making each purchase meaningful.

Changing from By Her Fires to Sosanna's Closet is a deliberate choice. The new name reflects a more personal and intimate space, like a closet filled with treasures, curiosities and keepsakes, collected over time. It invites you to explore and discover the pieces that resonate with you.

This shift also signals a return to our roots. We want to honor the past while embracing growth. The name Sosanna's Closet captures the warmth, creativity, and community spirit that define our work.

Moving Forward with Purpose

The road ahead is exciting. We are rebuilding, not just physically but creatively and emotionally. Our focus on handmade goods and community support will guide every step.

We invite you to join us on this journey. Explore the new website, discover the handmade treasures, and support a mission that values creativity, sustainability, and kindness.

Here's to an amazing reboot,

Renee & Eli
