As rain begins to batter Eugene, it’s easy to forget that summer still isn’t over. Good weather is on the horizon this weekend, and Eugenians can soak up the last rays of sun with live outdoor music at “Tipping Forward”, or making a spell jar at Seasons’ End Flower Farm’s Bouquet Bar in the Lane County Farmers Market.
Two plays will be opening in Eugene this weekend as well. “The Mousetrap” at the Very Little Theatre and “The Play that Goes Wrong” at at Oregon Contemporary Theatre offer entertainment for these late summer evenings as sunset creeps earlier and earlier.
Make a Spell Jar with Seasons’ End Flower Farm
Gwendolyn Iris, owner of Seasons’ End Flower Farm , launched a new event at her booth at the Lane County Farmers Market last weekend. The event, a Spell Jar Boquet Bar, allows market-goers to make their own bouquets infused with magic and intention.
“When I started thinking about the meaning of flowers across the world, and that they’re used in magic so often, and steeped in folklore, it was easy for me to combine that with the idea of a flower bar,” Iris said. She was raised Wiccan, and incorporates her relationship with spellwork into her work at Seasons’ End Flower Farm.
