Fresh from the Press Friday We have love on the brain lately, so we decided to take the most iconic flower of love and place it in a heart-shaped locket! The lockets are made of hypoallergenic silver stainless steel and glass. Each contains a single red Rose, Baby's Breath, and a slight dusting of mica powder for a natural sparkle. It's a match made in heaven! ... Roses symbolize 'love and beauty' and Baby's Breath symbolizes 'everlasting love and purity' in Floriography. Sounds like a whole lot of romance going on here... We have 3 rose heart lockets and 1 rose circle locket available.

Grateful for the Fall Harvest this year

Hi! We're James & Melissa. Gardening Gurus. Usually, around this time of year, we're packing up the ol' truck and traveling across Canada attending several Art & Craft shows. We spend a lot of time on the road... a lot of time in different Canadian cities... and a lot of time connecting with people who love our botanical work and reconnecting with all our Artisan Friends (we miss you all dearly) This year is different #thankscovid ... This year... we're stuck in the cold, snowy, middle-of-nowhere mountains. Forced to stay warm in our wood-burning hot tub. Poor us, hey?! See more

We're usually in the middle of 'show season' right about now... travelling across Canada, attending various art & craft shows. This year, things are going virtual! Join us at Shop Signatures, and many other talented makers!

A little trip up the mountain to find these little fuzzy fellas! Anemone, also known as Hippi-on-a-stick, only grows in sub-alpine terrain.
