I had a great time at the Blim Community Market on Sunday, despite rushing back from Seattle late Saturday & getting very little sleep. It was a rainy day, so the shoppers were a little sparse, but that meant that I had time to chat with my neighbors & even do a little shopping of… Continue reading Market Recap Plus New Bookplates
I took the ferry over to Vancouver Island to visit my folks a few days ago & since I still had a pile of prep work to do to get ready for my market on Sunday, I brought it all with me. It's so beautiful out there. If you have to do really repetitive work,… Continue reading Island Life
The new goodies I've been working on over the last couple of weeks are starting to roll in & I couldn't be more excited for the big reveal at Sunday's market - Portobello West. Starting with...new 1 inch buttons! Yay! I can't decide which one is my favorite, but the Royal Tenenbaums are definite front… Continue reading New Goodies

Adding the new jewelery to my Etsy shop has been going at a snail-like… Continue reading Antique Lockets

I've been doing the Scrabble tile pendants for a little over a year now, and while they'll always have a place in my heart (so light & cute & fun), I'm smitten with my newest creations. Making jewelry is such a… Continue reading Schmancy Pendants
I'm very pleased to announce the latest addition to the shop - bookplates! With ROBOTS on them!!! I've been playing with layouts for bookplates and researching printers for months now and I couldn't be more tickled with these little guys now that they're here.

My little crafty factory has been chugging along quite nicely over the past few weeks getting prepped for all the craft markets I'll be attending this season.

The Crow Keeper prints available in my Etsy shop The Crow Keeper has always considered herself a bit of an amateur ornithologist, drawn particularly to crows with their inky black feathers and all-around cleverness. A bit of a strange bird, she keeps mostly to herself. She's had little luck developing friendships over the years (possibly… Continue reading The Crow Keeper
