Hello Everyone,
Tuesday, July 28, 2026
Hi Everybody,
It's a beautiful, blustery summer morning here in Kincardine, Ontario. I am sitting down to write a quick note to you before heading down to my studio to prepare for Art on the Boulevard in Erieau, Ontario. It's been a fun summer so far. Next month I'll be slowing down a bit to enjoy some time at the beach, spend some time with my husband in the kitchen cooking and eating fresh Ontario produce and then getting to work on my fall collection. I'm hoping to have pictures of my new fall colours up on the website mid-September. This fall and holiday season are going to be very busy with shows. So excited to be participating in some favourite, regular events and also so lovely new ones! I'm happy that the Plowing Match is back in my neck of the woods again this year. This will be my third time participating in this awesome rural event. Looking forward to connecting with everyone in person in the coming months.
Until then, enjoy the rest of your summer.
