Uniquely Personal Earrings for that Special Holiday Gift!

 

Personal and inspiring, metalwork, paper and glass earrings and pendant necklaces are a unique gift made just for her.  Their individual themes will speak to her passions and interests - the photographer, traveller, beach lover, gardener, philosopher, seamstress, recycler, earth lover, teacher or graduate!

 

 

 Each pair is carefully and entirely fabricated by hand in my little home studio using copper, sterling and fine silver.

Holiday Lights...

...yes, BEFORE Halloween!

 

I love decorating for the holidays! Lighting the house and yard is one of my favorite things.  As I'm hanging the lights, I can see the night of the first snow lightly falling, gently illuminated by the sparkling white lights against fresh evergreens...so magical!

 

A little story unfolds inviting you in from the beginning of our driveway where an Austrian Pine is draped with strands of tiny white lights.  Two shingled posts are wrapped with lights and hung with simple evergreen wreaths.  Two large and simple rusty iron stars are spotlighted on the lawn that leads you to our yard.  All the flower boxes on the house, garage and garden shed are filled with evergreen boughs - fresh pine and spruce cut from our own trees.  More lights beckon you to come have a peek!

 

 

 Our house welcomes you with large tin containers filled with boughs, an evergreen tree draped in lights and pinecones, more wreaths and a festive holiday mat at the door. The story says we are glad to have you here!

 

 

 I know it's only October but Sunday dawned sunny and mild, a perfect day for a walk in the woods and some tree trimming in the yard.  Our huge pines needed a haircut which resulted in a pile of boughs just begging for a holiday home.  So...

 

 

welcome!

Fredericton Fall Show was a Grand Success!

The weather was gorgeous for the 3rd Annual Fredericton Fall Craft Show on the Exhibition Grounds in the city this past weekend!  Many thanks to all who dropped by the booth  - it was wonderful to see and chat with regular and new customers and many friends and acquaintances that brought coffee, muffins and  a good giggle! Also a big thank you for those who took home some new pretties - many of you are inspiring me to get a start on my holiday shopping too! 

I revamped my booth this year and thought you might enjoy a look - new fabric, backdrop and displays.  I was also excited to offer some of my new metalwork pieces for the first time.  A pair of copper honeybee earrings went home with a beekeeper who showed me photos of her hives - they produce and share delicious honey in Galloway, Ireland!

 

 

 Thanks again!  See you on November 14 and 15 at Christmas at the Market!



The Leaves, they are a-changin'!

This gorgeous leaf was lying on the roadside last week after a light shower- it was gorgeous!

I just had to pick it up and photograph it - here are a couple from about 70 photos!
