Hi Kootenay pals!

I'm coming out for a visit this week and I have some exciting news for ya!

I'll be setting up shop at Taylor and Mae Eco Collective on Friday September 26th from 10-5

If you've been pining to shop my wares in person, here's your chance!

Can't wait to see some buds and chat plant dyes and sustainable fashion with y'all all darn day

I’ve been radio silent on here lately as I poured my energy into preparing for two big, special events in Manitoba this month!

After a long long drive I've landed in the prairies and I couldn't be more delighted to be home

First up on the schedule is the MB Fibre Fest on Sept 5th + 6th followed by Harvest Moon Festival the next weekend, where I’ll be set up at their farmers market both Saturday and Sunday

I’m so looking forward to reconnecting with my prairie pals and to share what I’ve been creating with y'all

In the studio, I’ve been dyeing and sewing non-stop to bring many new pieces into my fall collection. Alongside my usual favourites - tops, tees, and fringe kerchiefs I’ll be debuting new vests and plenty of prairie ruffle dresses and skirts, all plant-dyed and stitched with tender lovin' care and always made from secondhand cloth

If you’re around, do come say hello, browse the collection, and celebrate these heartwarming September gatherings with me

Oh hiii Kootenay folks, this one’s for you!

I’m travelling to Creston, BC at the end of September to co-host a special workshop with Jess of .studio.and.gardens

In this afternoon of natural colour, we’ll guide you through two different projects:

🌸 With me you’ll learn the steam bundle eco printing method, working with both fresh and dried botanicals to eco print a cotton bandana

🌿 With Jess, you’ll dive into mordant painting, using thickened mordants to create colourful effects on a silk scarf

Alongside the making, we’ll tour Herbarium’s beautiful farm and take part in a guided harvest from the dye gardens, connecting the process directly to place.

📅 Saturday, Sept 27th | 12:30–4pm
💲 $145 + gst (all materials included)

Tickets are live! You can reserve your spot through the link in my bio or directly via Herbarium’s website

We can’t wait to share this immersive afternoon of plants, colour, and creativity with you

It is with the deepest sorrow that I announce that my baby cat Shiroo has left this earthly plain of existence.

She was my everything. My world orbited her sun.

A cherished companion, words cannot express how deeply she will be missed.

I'll love your forever Shiroo

Looking for a house + cat sitter! 🏡🐈‍⬛🌿
Sept 15–Oct 17
Location: Victoria near Hillside Mall

My roommates and I are heading out of town and I’m looking for a lovely and reliable person or couple to stay in our home and give some love to my sweet senior cat, Shiroo while we're away. She’s very chill, loves naps and sunbeams, and head scritches. Her care routine is pretty relaxed but does require consistency- breakfast plus her daily insulin and gabapentin and then some dinner in the evenings + any snuggles she might allow you to give (could be many could be none she will be the judge of that lol)

We’ll also need someone to water the houseplants occasionally.

If you’re looking for a quiet place to stay on the coast this fall (free rent!) and enjoy the company of a sleepy elder kitty, send me a message. Happy to chat more about the setup and to ensure all of our mutual needs are met!

Feel free to share or tag someone who might be a good fit 💛

Alright y'all here is the last of my summer markets in Victoria!

I'll be hitting the open road for some big fun events in September (more on that later) so if you have been coveting a piece from me, now's the time to scoop something up before I go rogue for a couple of months

I can't wait to squeeze every last juicy drop out of this beautiful but fleeting summer with y'all at my final markets of the season. Feeling sad it's already coming to a close! What a satisfying and fulfilling season this has been so far.

Thanks for supporting my flower filled dreams! I love ya!
