I don't usually get involved in this type of conversation but man I miss aart. I loved her posts to help me build my coop 2 years ago.

I looked up her post for her art. She had a link to a Facebook page called Everlasting Leaves. She ran an Etsy in the early 2010s, listing she was from Lawrence. Found a name, looked up white pages, found an address, google maps saw her coop....

I keep hoping I'm wrong, but the date on the obit matches the last day she posted.

Thank you for finding this. I'm heartbroken, as I am sure many are.

aart had a Facebook page which is still active, although she has not posted there since 2022. It has some pictures of her, and really reflects her personality. I snatched this off of there because it certainly reminds me of her

Good morning, everyone! If you're planning or thinking of attending Chickenstock this year, please hop over to the CS thread as I'm working on updating my spreadsheet this morning and announcing what we still need! I don't want to take away from the memories of Aart here.

It's so sad when we lose wonderful members of our community!

So many lifelong friendships, and people that have had an impact on hundreds... sometimes thousands just by being a great person on an internet forum.

I am not on facebook myself. If you search her name is comes up under Anne Arthur, Owner at Chicken Juggler.
