This past weekend, Tito and I participated in ‘Art by the Lighthouse’, an art show on the banks of the Niagara River, by the Pumphouse Arts Centre in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The show was fantastic, and seemed to exist in a calm little circle, despite the terrible weather that was all around us. It was sunny and…

I am super excited about these. This was Tito’s idea for a new bezel design using bits of bark and driftwood that we found at the edge of Lake Ontario. The wood has been carved, cleaned and sealed, with copper elements built on to frame the wood and hold the resin. I think he’s brilliant, but…

This past Saturday Tito and I had a booth at the Niagara-on-the-Lake farmers market. We’re there again this Saturday, and that’s our last appearance at this particular market for the year, so come down and check us out if you’re in the area! The market also features amazing jams and jellies from Gryphon Ridge, organic…

This is probably the longest dry spell the blog has ever had, but I’ve got good reasons, honest. The cat got sick (he’s better now) the computer was in the shop for 2 weeks (it’s better now) and we’ve had our heads down every evening buried in production for the show season, which will start…

I love the light in this shot. Cow trundling towards me… Closer… Closer! Aaaand someone just wants to give kisses. This little one. This is…

Tito and I had an amazing time at the Frogpond farm this weekend. We are happy and tired, with a much-diminished collection of jewellery. Here are some of our highlights!

Tito and I have been madly resining away in the evenings, preparing for our first art show as a couple. Last year, Tito participated in Frog Pond Farm’s ‘Art in the Vineyard’ with his paintings. We had an amazing time and were invited back this year. This year, because we’ve been doing so much jewellery…

We had another lovely day at the Gryphon Ridge Highland Farm last Saturday – and as a treat we were invited to a wine tasting at Frogpond Farm, Ontario’s first certified organic winery. A quick visit to their site shows that they are passionate about sustainability and clean energy. The owner, Jens, gave us a…

I’m one of those people that can only eat meat by never thinking too hard about where my food is coming from. So, when the abattoir truck changed it’s morning route and started going by my home I was pretty distressed. In this case it’s pigs, and you can smell the truck long before it…
