More twists and turns than Salt Spring Island roads!

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?  I feel like that may just be my theme of 2024. The roads on Salt Spring Island are winding and hilly like the pic above. To give you some idea, the speed limit on most of the island is 50 km per hour, there are no stop lights (there are stop signs) and most roads have a do not pass, solid line down the middle.  If you get stuck behind someone...

Hello daylight savings time!

Hello friends! February has flown by with all the activities and planning going on here on Salt Spring Island.   And Daylight Savings Sunday is already upon us!!  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!

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...

Hi all!  It's January 14th, 2024.  One month today is Valentine's Day! This is the time of year that I spend alot of time planning and bouncing around ideas about what I would like to do, make and create.  For those who don't know me that well, I do really like to creatively bake.  So this week, while feeling the snowy Christmasy vibes on the island, I made up some gingerbread cookies and then had fun decorating them.  I will be using what I learnt making these to make some bath bombs this week in a heart shape and see...


I'm back and planning!

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...
