The Cafe Blooms

The Safety Pin Cafe ... ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!

The original tale and mission ... still as good as ever

Now, a freshly blooming publishing house ... the menu of stories grown from scratch make their way into recipe books, chapbooks and storytelling with the Two Tutus

Looking up at the incoming messenger of Lono Kulani (heavenly rainstorm)

With a heart waiting for the joy brought on by a mo'opuna and more mo'olelo (a grandchild, story ... continuance)

Official initiation into Tutuhood on a blustery week in November, 2021 opened the doors, windows and exits of The Safety Pin Cafe

Lean-in and learn to grow your own stories from scratch ... dig deep into your legacy, listen for the clues (that are everywhere) and create from your source of passion, pinning your pining into original tales, recipes that are 'flavored for a future worth loving.'

Tutu swings is the action worth investing in for a future to love!

YOU'RE THE FIRST TO KNOW TO LOOK FOR THIS COMING IN 2022.

"we tell it slant"

We're not social realists, we're fantasists. We tell the truth, like poets, but we tell it slant -- we clothe it in symbol, archetype, and metaphor. But if we are to write or illustrate fantasy well we must do the work of understanding the classic tropes we use as best we can. Through reading. Through research. Through curiosity and sensitivity about lives and traditions far different than our own. Through building a relationship to the wild wherever we are. Know the place and the land on which you are rooted, and then move outward from there. - Terri Windling

THE SAFETY PIN CAFE'S MISSION

From the original medicine story The Safety Pin Cafe, its "Introduction" is the foundation upon which we offer what we know:

"We cross borders without regard, ignorant or arrogant of the protocol native to the transitional spaces that take us from this place to that place. Traditions remembered and practiced would maintain and pass along the right things to do, at the right time, and in the right frame of mind. Have we all become wanderers with passports un-stamped with the memory of teachings from the Ancestors and Nature? There are rituals to remember and common magic to induce respect and reverence for the beings and places that share this planet."
