Click to buy the pirate locket on Etsy I've been photographing and updating my Etsy shop with the antique lockets that local shoppers have been snapping up at my market events for quite some time. I love the style of the antique patina locket settings I've found and think they compliment my paintings perfectly -… Continue reading Antique Lockets
I went to see a show this weekend upon the recommendation of a friend and I'm now completely smitten with Whitehorse, the collaboration between singer/songwriters (and adorable married couple) Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland.

Ingrid and the grey bunny are quite a pair! Soft spoken and a bit shy, people often underestimate Ingrid. She might not say much, but she's a keen observer, an excellent listener and fiercely loyal - much like her rabbit.

Greetings from the not-so-frozen North! I'm celebrating Christmas with my in-laws in Alberta & we've lucked out with some pretty warm weather, fantastic homecooked food & fabulous company. What more can you ask for at Christmas time? The only thing making the season a little less merry is the nasty cold that's been attacking my… Continue reading Merry Christmas!
Happy holidays everyone! My markets are all wrapped up for the year and I am off to visit family in Alberta. I don't like to officially close my Etsy shop when I'm away because I think people should still be able to see what I do, add things to their favorites & so on. But… Continue reading While I’m Away…
I only have 2 more market dates this holiday season and then it's time for me to catch up on my own Christmas preparations!
