Hello friends!  It's been awhile but the hectic Christmas season is over and it's time to start anew on another year.  Boy, 2023 was exciting, wasn't it?  A BIG move, new equipment, new designs, new markets and a whole lotta NEW!  It was alot so I've just been using the last couple of weeks to decompress and sort through what I liked, what I was a huge fan of and then decide what to discard for 2024, all while factoring in what my goals are. First let me say that it is beyond wonderful to be able to have plans...

A happy last week of October/first week of November to you! Things are hopping and happening on Salt Spring Island.  Gift sets are being prepared for upcoming markets and are going online for sale as well.  These are all limited supply so if you want one (or a few) please order online quickly so that you aren't disappointed.  Smaller gift sets make great stocking stuffers or teachers gifts or hostess gifts for the upcoming holiday season.  It's always worth it to have a few on hand for those surprise quick gifts when needed for a party or event.  It was...

Did I forget to mention that there was a part 2 to last weeks blog?  Oopsy.  I actually didn't know there would be a part 2 but here we are, trusting the process.  I am very excited to announce that I have been invited to participate in the PNE Winter Market 2023!!!

This week I am addressing the elephant in the room.  It's the question of why am I not doing the Vancouver Christmas Market?!? Just like the majority of people, I do not want to go back to 2019 levels of working 7 days a week, 363 days a year (Christmas and New Years were always off).  It was crazy!  The Vancouver Christmas Market alone was 5 weeks then (I believe now it is 6 weeks) with some days being 12-14 hour days in the cold, huddled by woefully inadequate heaters. The expense of renting a place to stay close to...

Hey there! It's been a hectic week.... blog is coming in late but I squeezed a few minutes in to give you the updates and what's going ons with me this week.  Obviously I'm going to be in Abbotsford this weekend.  Show hours are: Friday 1pm - 9 pm Saturday 10 am - 6 pm Sunday 10 am - 5 pm Friday night will be the toughest simply because it's late for me but we all know when we are busy, time flies by so I'm thinking I'll be running on adrenaline until about 4 pm on Sunday. haha   I've...
