All things Hartmont May 2024!
Salt Spring Island beaches and sunny days! A happy May to all! I hope that you are enjoying the weather, wherever you are. It's been a mix of super sunny Summer weather here on Salt Spring one day and then the quiet rain and chill on others. Perfect for the beach in the sun one day and by a cozy fire indoors, the next. I really can't complain but I always put out the caveat of when I'm planning to be somewhere (at a market or a farmstand) that it is dependant on the weather. Noone likes wet products so...
It's been a year already on Salt Spring Island and hello Lil Red Barn!
Time flies! It was a year ago this week that I was scrambling to get all the packing finished and put onto a truck between snow storms and getting on the road to Salt Spring Island. I knew that I just had to take the leap and get here to see what direction everything would go in as I started to rebuild from the devastation of the pandemic.

More twists and turns than Salt Spring Island roads!
Happy Spring Break to everyone! Don't you just love when you plan for one thing and then something else comes to the forefront and changes need to be made?

If you get stuck behind someone...

The schedule here is usually something to the tune of January is for dreaming, February is for planning those dreams and then March is for putting it into action or at least getting started. Of course, the larger picture dream doesn't happen right away but small steps that are now being implemented are taking us in that direction and it's really quite exciting. It's a good journey to be on. It's definitely not...
Saying good bye to January and hello to February!
Happy last week of January! I've been busy planning and organizing supplies and stock and have decided to clear out some large Aurora candles that I just have a little too much stock of. It's all part of the organizing and building stock for the 2024 season that has me looking at these few left overs and thinking to myself that I'd rather that you got to enjoy them. So I'm doing a spend $100 and get a free large candle of my choice for you promo. You will notice the difference in coloring of these candles as the color...
