Her Majesty, The CBC and me
O.K, Here’s the scoop. On Tuesday I got an e-mail from Colleen Jones at the CBC. The queen is visiting Canada on June 28th. She will begin her tour here in Nova Scotia. In honour of her visit the National news is going to do a little piece on hats. So, Colleen googled hats and…

Today was Hubbard’s Market Day. It is official that I will be there every alternate Saturday throughout the season. It was nice and warm today and the crowds came out to buy great veggies, plants, cupcakes,coffee, flowers, jewelry, aprons and ofcourse…..hats. My new Raffia Coffee hats were a hit and I sold two of the…
Read MoreMore Coffee Hats
I have had a fun few days making coffee hats. It hadn’t occur to me to trim a straw hat with the burlap, so when it finally clicked it was one of those “I could have had a v8” moments. Still trying to decide if I like the grey background or not. If you have…

Finally have a photo of my studio floor. It turned out a tad more neon than I had anticipated. I painted these giant stencils on and now I’m a happy camper. Stencils can be found here.

Just got a new shipment of vintage hankies. I washed them and hung them up to dry on my neighbour’s line since we don’t have one yet. The prettiest site I saw today.
Read MoreDrum Roll Please
Here it is folk, the moment you’ve all been waiting for. Photos of our new/old, colourful and beautiful on the inside/ haunted on the outside house. I’ll say the same thing I say to everyone that walks into my home…Please excuse the mess. I know I have a good excuse, but the truth is it…
Read MoreCrawling to the Starting Line
I wish I were six years old. On Wednesday the school bus dropped Dusty off in front of his new home for the first time. He walked into a house with boxes stacked up to the ceiling, no refrigerator or kitchen counter, no sink in the bathroom and furniture stacked on top of each other.…
