📚✨ New Sculpture in Carefree! ✨📚
A new beautiful bronze sculpture by Bryce Pettit now graces the Carefree Desert Gardens near the children’s playground! Donated by Carefree resident Richard Burns and local business owner Sue Bickerdyke, the piece depicts a boy holding an open book, from which birds representing different areas of learning—science, history, literature, music, fantasy, and the arts—take flight. The sculpture symbolizes how knowledge can help us soar to new heights. 🦉🦅🐦
Pettit worked with the Town’s Public Works team to give the sculpture a permanent home. Stop by, enjoy the Gardens, and see this inspiring addition in person! 🌿✨

✨ Business Highlight: Modernly Mindful✨
Modernly Mindful, Carefree’s newest art gallery and jewelry shop, is now open next to Badu and the English Rose Tea Room. The gallery is owned and operated by artist Kyle Bolish, who handcrafts every piece inside. 💍
Before becoming a full-time artist, Kyle spent years teaching grades K through 6th. He created his art pieces during summer breaks, but felt a growing pull toward a more creative life. That clarity arrived during his visit to the Sistine Chapel in Italy, where he experienced an overwhelming sense of lightness—as if a weight had lifted. In that moment, he knew it was time to devote himself fully to art and soon opened his first gallery, Modernly Mindful. 📚🖼️
Kyle’s work is deeply inspired by nature and childhood nostalgia. Each piece begins with a meditative process and is guided by a memory, feeling, or emotion from his youth. His bronze sculptures incorporate real leaves, twigs, and natural elements that are cast in resin and then bronzed, creating rich, intricate detail. His jewelry features natural stones like topaz and pearls inspired by water. Every item is one-of-a-kind, with a rotating inventory and no duplicates—so when you find a piece that resonates with you, it’s truly meant for you. 🌿
As a disability-owned business, Kyle embraces the way ADHD shapes his workflow, often turning it into a creative strength. He is also mindful of keeping his work accessible, offering high-quality pieces at attainable price points. 💎
Modernly Mindful invites visitors to step into a space of imagination, nature, and nostalgia—where each handcrafted piece has a story, and each one is made to spark your own inner childhood wonder. 💖

✨ Business Highlight: Grind and Gears ✨
Opened in March 2022, Grind and Gears is the second Carefree business owned by residents and entrepreneurs Don Little and his wife, Lisa.

✨Business Highlight: Giordano's Trattoria Romana ✨
Giordano’s has been a beloved part of Carefree for 20 years, but its story stretches back even further. The owner, Adele, moved from New York to Phoenix in 1987 and in the late 1990s, she discovered the original Trattoria Romana. She quickly became one of its most loyal guests, dining there almost every weekend with her family. She loved the authentic Italian dishes and the warm, intimate setting, and over time she built a friendship with the owner. When the restaurant changed hands in 2004, Adele saw her chance to bring her vision to life and purchased it—on the condition that the chef remain, ensuring the recipes and flavors locals cherished would stay at the heart of the menu. 🍷🕯️
From that moment, Adele poured her energy into transforming the space into Giordano’s Trattoria Romana, an eatery reminiscent of the neighborhood trattorias of New York City. Fresh, traditional flavors are still the hallmark, with the chef’s marinara made daily and dishes like the eggplant Parmesan often praised as the best in Arizona. 🍆🍝
Two decades later, Giordano’s has become a true cornerstone of the Carefree community. Guests return not only for the food, but for the family-style hospitality Adele has nurtured. Through every chapter—including the challenges of the pandemic—the support of the community has been unwavering, and Adele looks forward to many more years of sharing her dream with Carefree. ❤️🌵

🚨 Meet Hydrant No. 444 🚨
The Carefree Water Company recently installed Fire Hydrant No. 444 at Cave Creek Rd & Milky Way Dr—bringing added fire protection to the Velvet Shadows neighborhood. 🔥💧
Former Carefree Councilmember and retired Chicago firefighter Glenn Miller, who helped identify the need for this location, shared: “As an ex-Chicago Firefighter, I understand the importance of our water infrastructure in fighting fires. Having easy access to a fire hydrant can mean the difference between saving a structure or having it burn to the ground.” 👨🚒
Thank you, Glenn, for your continued commitment to helping keep Carefree safe. 🙌
