It has been a really long time since I have written much at all. Aside from Instagram blips here and there I really haven’t found myself with the urge to write. Perhaps a lack of inspiration, the winter blahs and a bit of just not knowing which direction I am heading have held me back….

’tis the season – thinking small

Summer update and Boosh!
Well in to August I feel like the summer is just flying by. Most of our days have been spent with a quiet park wander, collecting acorns, sticks and stones and visiting with my grandmother. I am also in the midst of writing my Live Small Town Fall piece and starting to think of back…
Whiskey Tan + Wally’s new collar
Several months ago I contacted Whiskey Tan about their beautiful handmade collars! The trouble was Wally is a restless spirit who really hates being tinkered with in anyway so buckling up a nice traditional collar wasn’t a great option. Chantel, the wonderful human behind Whiskey Tan, told me to leave it with her and she…
HR Ceramics – a look at another lovely Canadian artist
Just before Christmas I happened upon HR Ceramics (Quebec) on Instagram – yes I find most things on this platform; it is my favourite. I noticed that Hanna had made this sweet country inspired mug that I wanted to buy for my country loving sister in law. I reached out through a direct message and…

Back to the basics

Hello Stella
I’m not really sure how exactly I happened upon Hello Stella on Instagram but I’m so glad I did! Lindsay is a Hamilton yarn dyer who uses Canadian wool base yarns. The colour ways she offers are brilliant and unique which is likely what drew me in! A maker with a kind heart and solid…
Think small and local this season!
*Pre- read FYI* I just wanted to let you know that I am not sponsored or affiliated with these outstanding places in any way! I do this because I love sharing places and things I find! It’s that time of year already! Parties, coffee dates and gift lists galore. It is at times much easier…
