Introducing: Mabels Handmade Provisions Handcrafted self-care menu now in our store!
PERSEPHONE: FollowingPersephone is proud to announce our collaboration with Mabels Handmade Provisions. Haile Coder launched her profile in 2026 but has been quietly working long beforehand much like us here at this site. Their story: "Mabel's Handmade Provisions was born from a desire to create something meaningful while raising my family. What began in my home kitchen as a creative outlet quickly grew into a passion for crafting handmade bath and body products, baked goods and gifts that bring comfort and joy to others. Every item is made with the same care and love I would share with my own family."
PERSEPHONE: By chance, by fate, I am happpy to have found love and entered it's gates. We are together now and that is all that matters and no where else is better than by his side. In sleepless nights he is a noisy rock, in turbulent paths he is the way and in conspiracy our love is no theory. Love is described in many ways with timid word that come in mutters so I shout at him whatever I please because my love for him can never form with silence. It is loud, chaotic, jealous and the only thing I could consider coveting. In a life I have dedicated to God I choose to also dedicate to him by laying myself, my vulnerabilities and insecurities out so plainly that even a man may understand. Needless to say he did and we are likely in the midst of this love for the rest of our mortal lives. I can only hope that in peace we are able to be together as happily as we are now.

PERSEPHONE: There are things in this world that happen by coincidence, the biggest phenomenons on this planet that have yet to be explained, and probably never will be dances through my brain.
In 1999 my parents welcomed me into this world, Persephone Katy Hudzinski, 7lbs 7o.z. at 7:14 p.m. on the 7th day of October. They had me in the Springville, NY before that particular hospital stopped delivering babies.
My parents wanted to keep me from the cold, chase a better life, so right before my first birthday they decided to show me 48 of the continental United States. At the very least, they assumed I'd travel enough as an adult with ample skill and at worst I would have a good run before I grew up and got too busy to truly enjoy things like travel or rest areas.
I spent the first few years living in a semi-truck before settling, then moving, settling, moving and finally settling again in Western NY. I have an associates degree now from a community college in a field that is being killed by AI but I still want to try everything and go everywhere so I created this space and welcome you here.
