How do you begin to tell a story beyond both your capacity for understanding and the depths of your wildest dreams? How do you describe the birth of a solar system, the beginnings of an entire complex universe? Would you tell it with drama, like a great romance or epic tale? Or would you use a more analytical tone, making it out to be a documentary or monologue? Well, however you might tell it, like all stories, ours begins with a single momentous step: the forging of two destinies, the intertwining of converging fates...
A.K.A. - the start of Savannah + Sammy
When the bright, vivacious, driven + creative young Savannah said 'yes' to going to going to the movies, she had no idea that her life was about to change forever. Neither did young Sammy, who shared her passion for creativity + expression, who would never in his wildest dreams think that that one single event would alter the course of his life in ways he would never have thought possible. And yet, here we are...
After the first date, we spent just about every available moment with one another, building upon an existing foundation of friendship. We experienced highs + lows together | gains + losses. Through it all, something that always bound us together was our passion for creating (me as a writer | visual artist + she as a textile designer | herbalist). Eventually this lead us to creating something new: life! Logan was born + two became three.
We worked hard + made sacrifices, bought our first home + rode life's wacky waves before experiencing a great loss during the Valley Fire in 2015. We then discovered that within each other, we had the strength to endure, overcome + rebuild. After what felt like the longest + windiest road, we were finally able to move into our new home in 2020, which we built primarily ourselves!!
Savage Rose Crafting has been in the works throughout practically the entirety of our relationship, always simmering and bubbling away on the back burner as life carried on, but now is the time! Savage Rose Crafting is FINALLY ready to launch, and this spring 2022 we look forward to hearing from you! Visit us on social media to pop in and say WAZZZUPP!!
