I can’t believe summer show season is already upon us! The first one for me will be in Avondale in rural Nova Scotia, this coming Saturday, June 18th. I always enjoy the Avondale Arts Fairs (this summer one, and their Garlic…
As I sit in my studio this morning, getting ready to finish some pieces to send out to galleries next week, I am contemplating where their journey will take them before they find a home on a body. The galleries…
Perhaps, when it comes to lifestyle, eggs may be my best teacher. Strange statement? Certainly. But it occurred to me this morning, and I will tell you why: I am an entrepreneur, and I am a woman. These two things alone…
I have just returned from the CircleCraft Market in Vancouver. I very much enjoy coming to Vancouver twice a year to show my work, and look forward to returning again in the summer, for CircleCraft Summer and the Harmony Arts…

I just finished a run of Holiday art fairs, and as always, it was wonderful to meet old friends and meet new ones. While I love being in my studio and making jewellery every day, I also enjoy these opportunities…
I have just returned from Vancouver’s CircleCraft Christmas Market. You may recall that I was on this Coast just a few months ago, for the Harmony Arts Festival in August. What can I say? I love the West Coast’s enthusiasm…
