All this and I didn’t leave the house
O.K. fine, I do leave the house once a week to go to the Farmers’ Market and I also walk my dog, but my life revolves around my home and that’s the way I love it. I know it’s not a life for everyone, but being by myself in my little studio with the occasional…
Read MoreHats, Rainbows, Sunsets and Breaking up with Facebook
What a week it’s been. I made hats, I sold hats, I received heartwarming messages from happy customers, gardened, walked my dog, talked to the man and the boy and, oh yeah…I broke up with Facebook. After years of screaming at my screen, I decided to take control. I’m tired of a world that steals…

It was many moons ago when I first discovered that farmers markets were my favourite places to be. It’s not just that they are filled with local produce, baked goods and crafts, but, when done well, they are the hub of a community. They are also hot beds of entrepreneurship and local business.

I was selling my wares at our Lunenburg Farmer’s Market today, when this beautiful woman walked by. The coat, the boots, the scarf, her hair, her face, absolute perfection.

Tony has built me the most beautiful hat shop/ studio. It’s truly a dream come true. This space was once filled with mold and mushrooms and when it rained outside it rained inside. I could never have seen the transformation. One of Tony’s many talents. Tony is almost finished building my beautiful cutting table, which…

And now I feel like I have been run over by a steam roller. Today I am useless. I can hardly lift my hands. Tomorrow is another day and I’ll be back at it, filling wholesale orders and getting ready for more markets.

My Morning Walk
Lego pulls me around Block House hill and while he looks for deer poop, I look out at the town towards the front harbour. We turn left down to Montague st. and come to Foodland, one of our two local grocery stores. While I am grateful to have a place to pick up milk, mostly…
