I’m Karen, the owner of and the moon will rise. I'm a graphic designer, F45 coach & plant hoarder. I met my husband in a hotdog shack in Portland, OR and we live in North County San Diego with our pup, Nova.

A friend recently told me visiting a yellow forest was on her 2026 wish list and asked if I'd ever been to one. While I've been fortunate to experience the magic first hand, I haven't been able to stop thinking about yellow forests since.

If you live in a state with an election today, PLEASE VOTE!

Here in California, there's only ONE question on the ballot, but the stakes couldn't be higher.

Use your voice. Exercise your power. Elections matter!

With 15 (that's one for every other day!), prepping cards for November took a bit longer. It's good practice for next month's holiday cards 🎄

I always select, stamp & address the cards I'II need for birthdays, anniversaries & other special events at the beginning of each month.

The number of these cards I sold at the farmer's market on Sunday was astonishing. On one hand, it's comforting to know I'm not alone in feeling all my feelings these days. On the other, this doesn't even begin to cover it 😡

Join me this Sunday at the Leucadia Farmer's Market. I'm the 1st artisan booth after the farmers along the fence on Vulcan.

On Nov 8th, I'm returning to the annual Irvine Holiday Faire at the Great Park Palm Court Arts Complex. And on the 9th, find me at the Santa Margarita Holiday Boutique.

What is it about lake life that is so appealing? Is it the fresh air? Water's reflection? Remote setting? Colors? Scents? Whatever it is, I'm drawn to it. And find myself dreaming about it after a long day of work. So, consider this my daily fix.

Introducing my 1st sympathy card for loss & grief. When I read this quote, I envisioned it against a backdrop of teardrops. Maybe it'll speak to you, maybe it won't, but I'm grateful it's now part of my sympathy collection.

Vivid and eye-catching in the water, these fishing buoys also strike a stunning contrast with weathered cedar shakes, too. Is it wrong that I want to decorate my house with them???

Happy Fall Equinox! Fall has always been my favorite season and one of the main reasons is its gorgeous light. Makes golden hour that much more golden.

"Underneath the moon" is always a conversation starter at markets for those that remember the sweet words from their childhood. They're from the song, “Skidamarink”, from the 1910 Broadway production, “The Echo”.

Available as a greeting card & 11x14" art print.

We all need the type of people in our lives who can help us make order out of utter chaos. This card- with a blank interior- is the perfect way to say thanks.
