Welcome to the premiere of Crescent Forest Creations, a whimsical fantasy podcast about magic, friendship, and running a very unusual small business.

After a full day in the corporate world, Alisha Stoneheart steps into her enchanted shop just in time for a little magical mischief. Violet, her woods siren assistant, has already opened the shop and is brimming with excitement over a new shipment, especially one particular enchanted necklace she can’t wait for Alisha to try on.

The necklace from today’s story is a real handmade piece by Joy of Lamplight Emporium, and it’s available now! Find it at thecrescentforest.com. You can also visit Joy's Etsy shop at etsy.com/shop/LamplightEmporium

10% of featured product sales (after Etsy fees) from this season go to Reading Is Fundamental, helping kids across the U.S. discover the magic of books.
