Sarah shares how she feeds her family a nourishing, ancestral diet and how, on their homestead, they eat all the parts of the animal with minimal waste. We discuss how to eat a healthier diet based on the research done by Weston A. Price and how we should strive to do our best to eat healthfully in the world we live in without stressing about absolute perfection. She talks all about organ meats and their benefits, as well as how she gets her family to eat them! Sarah also is a teacher of old fashioned homesteading skills and we talk about some of the best ways to learn *new to you* skills. Enjoy!

If you know anything about Kenzie or Talia, you know we love old SH** (in the words of Miranda Lambert). Antique store addicts, thrift-aholics, whatever you want to call it, we are absolutely THAT. Kenzie is the expert with years of antiquing experience behind her, and she shares with us her affinity for cowboy boot glasses, well-loved Breyer horses, and vintage coffee cans. Talia is new(er) to the game but has been building her stash of children's picture books, Gunne Sax dresses, and unappreciated art prints. You will love this conversational treat and we hope it leaves you dreaming of well-worn hutches full of heavenly old-fashioned treasures. This might just be our favorite episode yet!

S3 E4: Our Conversation with Kailey Klein of Magpie West Leather Co. Part 2: Teaching leather craft, dealing with art theft, & how her career has evolved.
The Paintbrush Prairie
02/16/24 • 58 min
This week we had the BEST conversation with western leather maker and artist, Kailey Klein of Magpie West Leather Co. If you haven't heard of Kailey, what are you even doing?! She has made her mark on the western industry in the arena of hand-tooled, beautifully painted leather goods and she is an amazingly talented western artist who captures the authenticity and grit of cowboy culture in the Great Basin and beyond. It was such a treat to talk with Kailey about her background and how she got started in leather work and western art. Kailey is funny and upbeat, and shares her take on motherhood and homesteading with honesty and sincerity. We ended up chatting with Kailey for two hours so we split it into two parts. This episode is part two, and we dive into how teaching leather craft has transformed her life, how she has dealt with serious art theft, and we get to know some fun facts about Kailey!
