Dear Wakefield,
I am admittedly not one of you, but I do believe I qualify as a respectful admirer. I have been studying your ways, your customs and traditions, and one in particular that delights me is the ongoing(and often polarizing) debate over the use of lawn chairs to save your spot on the sidewalk for the Fourth of July parade. As I write this, on the 26th of June, I know there are talks already happening about how soon the lawn chairs will begin appearing(perhaps tonight?). I have lived in at-least a small handful of towns with parades and this custom makes you all entirely unique. I have enjoyed listening to both sides of the debate about the validity of using the lawn chairs to save spots and while I see both sides, I am here today to say that I sit firmly on team ‘go ahead and do whatever you want’. Take up that space. Put an inflatable couch down. Layer on an inordinate amount of chains and rope around your chairs to double down in your steadfastness to own that spot and relish in its glory on the proverbial game day. This country was built by the kind of people that throw down lawn chairs and say ‘this is clearly a taken spot so don't even think about it.’ Is it right? Whose to judge. But is it you? Yeah, it sure is.
Wakefield…I see you, and I love you.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Love & adore it. Spend quality time around it. Otherwise, just be mindful to hang it where it cannot be reached by small children or animals. As a parent with a young child and 2 kittens, we cannot emphasize enough how important it is to hang it high and away from tiny hands and paws. If a hanging Cosmo has a sun catcher on it, will catch sun shine and spit rainbows if placed in the right spot.
When removing a Hanging Cosmo from the box, be careful to make sure stone is sitting completely in the net or hoop of the hanging. Hold onto the stone part as you hang it and make sure it is in a safe position.
While handling a Painted Cosmo print, be mindful of finger prints. All paintings will live their best life framed and behind an archival glass covering. All paintings are finished with a Matte archival spray.
Some folks like to charge & cleanse crystals. Allowing your crystal to bask in the moonlight of a full moon imbues it and strengthens its inherent qualities. We occasionally cleanse our stones with palo santo smoke as well.
