<description>&lt;p&gt;My guest today is Ariel Gonzalez. She is a Latinx artist based in Texas who works with sustainably sourced materials and just opened her new online storefront &lt;a href="https://thistleandlore.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Thistle &amp;amp; Lore&lt;/a&gt; where she she sells cards, notebooks, and stickers. While she loves being creative offline, social media is a new medium and she’s ready to learn all the things so she can better promote her new store — and more specifically, her spooky collections featuring sheet ghosts and poisonous plants on handmade paper. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you’d like to support the show (yay!) please help us get the word out by sharing this episode with a friend who might enjoy it.
