It's Not Your Imagination
Everything does look different. I have changed email hosting services.
Welcome to The Nibbler by me, Jill Myer, a bi-weekly brief focusing on art, inspiration, creativity, snacks, and joy.
Good morning, Nibblers!
Happy Tuesday!
I hope this email finds you well-fed, well-rested, and well-prepared for a smidgen of change.
The good news is (always lead with the good news!)
you don’t have to do a darn thing about the change.
It’s already happened!
✨SURPRISE ✨
What exactly is different, you might ask, and what is with all the change?
Is it truly necessary?
Well, here’s the thing….
Once upon a time, many, many moons ago, The Nibbler was hosted on my website, which was easy but expensive.
When I was building my website, easy was worth it because building websites is TEDIOUS, overwhelming, and just really hard!
Especially if you’ve never built a website before.
(I hadn’t)
BUT!
Now that I’ve got my sea legs, my web legs, if you will, the expense is actually a bit ludicrous. It’s so expensive.
AND this fabulous platform, Substack, hosts newsletters for free, promotes writers and makers from all walks of life, and provides an algorithm-free space. If you have never heard of Substack, that’s okay.
The Nibbler will continue to arrive in your inbox every other Tuesday at 7 a.m. Pacific Time, as it has been.
If you use the Substack app and get other newsletters there, you will also find The Nibbler there. Shazam!!
-Other things you might notice-
A subscribe button amid the newsletter.
You can ignore this.
You are already subscribed. (Mom, this means you.)The ability to pay for a subscription.
You, my dear, lovely, valued reader, can also ignore this.
The Nibbler will always be free.
**In the future, I may add some extra bits, bobbs, jangles, jingles, or sparkly bits tucked behind a paywall, but we will burn that bridge when we cross it.
It’s not for you to worry about today. (Still talking to you, Mom.)
✨✨If you want to pay for a subscription, I’m certainly not going to stop you, but it isn’t necessary. Unless you are my mom.✨✨🌈
As always, if you have any comments, compliments, curiosities, confusions, or conundrums, please hit reply. I’m still here and just as delighted to receive your emails.
All my love,
Jill
ON THE BLOG / VLOG
Dear Diary,
September has been the most fun!
CURRENT ARTISTIC EXPLORATIONS
MY FAVORITE SNACK
GF Donuts!
I have two primary dealers for this treat.
#1 My neighbor and most frequent partner in crime.
(Crime being defined here as: Ignoring all responsibilities to go wheeling up or down the coast looking for big dramatic splashy waves or whales.)
The other day, she gifted me a small batch of Pumpkin Spiced Sugar donuts straight from the pan. They were so warm and sweet and oh so sinfully delightful.
#2 Ultralife Cafe in Nye Beach.
When I walk to the gallery versus driving, I leave the house early so I have plenty of time to stop for one of these little treats.
TODAY I LEARNED
I learned about the term ✨Glimmer Hunting✨!
It’s my new favorite term. I thought long and hard about changing “The Nibbler” to “The Glimmer Hunter.”
…I still might.
I want to be a card-carrying, board-certified, accredited, nationally recognized Glimmer Hunter!
SHOP
I’ve added these fun little mini mushroom cards to my shop! The bundle comes with six mini-cards and six kraft brown mini-envelopes (3x3 inches)
