Hi everyone and Happy May! As some may have already figured out, I am not doing the local Salt Spring Island Farmer's Market this year.  I have opted to take the summer to learn some new glass making skills (to be added to my line later in the Summer) which requires some class time at studios on Vancouver Island and the mainland.  Those are usually on a Saturday so I have allotted my Saturdays to learning instead of in person selling (most of this year anyways).  I have dug out my stained glass equipment for making some items from small...

Greetings from the West Coast! Hopefully wherever you are, your cold weather is going away and you are seeing signs of Spring.  Here, it's been Spring like weather for at least a month now, if not longer.  The daffodils are blooming, I saw yellow water lilies blooming in a stream area just today and the Wild Rose bushes have been in bloom for a few weeks now.  The trees are now a sea of white and purple and green.  It definitely is Spring here! There's been so much going on that I almost missed this anniversary of an event that...

Hi friends! As you may or may not be aware, this is a 100% Canadian owned company.  Run by myself, a woman with all of my products being 100% handmade by myself.  It really hasn't been something that I have gone on and on about over the years and the last 5 years have been filled with business altering events.  Year after year, something new comes along to change how I do business and what I am about.  But ever true is my commitment to making and selling my own products. I used to have brick and mortar stores and...

  Happy March to all! And just like that we are coming up to the end of the first quarter of the year.  Before we know it, Easter will be here!  It's so much fun making for the holidays and Easter is no exception.  This year, I'm challenging myself by taking on chocolate making.  At Christmas time I made Peppermint Patties that were wonderful.  I make homemade marshmallows on the regular so I'm thinking this year I'll be putting together some chocolate covered marshmallow bunnies (or hearts at the very least) for Easter fun. But I understand, you don't get...

  Happy February to all! It was about two years ago at about this time that I started to think about moving to Salt Spring Island.  Everything happened really quickly and I took the leap of faith.  It has mostly worked out really well but the downturn in the economy really curbed my ability to find my own permanent place here on the island within a couple of years.   I'm going to be brutally honest but the place I was originally in was not great.  I made it work which was the criteria for the first place here.  I was...
