Join me today at the Evergreen Brickworks for the amazing Etsy Market! I’ll be there from 10am – 3pm with a selection of my products (as pictured below).
Pro tip: It’s also the sunday edition of the Brickworks farmers market; a more laid-back version of the busy saturday market, where you can get brunch!!

Day 304/365
The latest project: a custom guest book/travel book for a destination wedding! 
This is an exciting combination of scrapbooking, memory-making, journalling and special messages to the happy couple! Imagine what an incredible collection of memories it’ll be to share with family and friends for years to come.
I’m always so honoured to work on projects like these. Especially when given a bit of creative freedom and people put their trust in me to create a book that not only captures the memories of the special day, but also the atmosphere and vibe of the event.
If you have an idea for a special book, click Custom Order along the top menu bar and send me some information about your project! I’ll get back to you with a few more questions and then follow up details – easy peasy!!

Day 299/365
It’s Studio Sunday and today I’m sharing a project I’ve been working on; a beautiful purple floral wedding guest book!
I love the journey of finding just the right colours, patterns and papers for client’s special occasions. And, of course, I love it even more when people choose handmade for these special books. It makes sense, as a handmade book is made to last generations, the perfect fit for these special heirloom pieces.
To request your own custom order, either click Custom Order along the top menu bar, or go here.
Day 298/365I’m so inspired by the warm weather and sunny days that I find myself really looking forward to Sprouts Press’ next event: the Blossom and Bloom show! I’ll be there saturday August 8th with a selection of my handbound books, kits and such.
I love how this event showcases handmade but also the local talent of Unionville. Just spend a few minutes chatting with show organizer, Pheoebe (of Pheoebe Lo Events), and she can tell you about the best of the best in this amazing community!
For details, please see the show website found here.
