Hello Everyone,
Monday, August 31, 2026
Hi Everybody,
The days are getting shorter. Evenings are a little cooler here in Kincardine, Ontario. As I sit down to write you a quick note, I am pulling on a cozy sweater. Fall is, hands down, my favourite time of the year. I spent the day in my studio painting beads, newly dried after a green dye-bath. 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 some lovely new ones! I'm happy that the Plowing Match is back in my neck of the woods again this year (being held just outside of Walkerton, Ontario). This will be my third time participating in this awesome rural event. Looking forward to connecting with everyone in person in the coming months.
