Happy Mid January! We have had quite the juxtaposing weekend! Yesterday was the most mild Mid-January day of recent memory and today is well below 0 and snowing lightly. I am so happy today! This weekend has been lovely, with the starlings and crows at our door. I feel rejuvenated to create and just be … Continue reading Weekend of fairisle, painting, walks
Good Evening Kindreds! It's so dark! I am sitting by the fire, the room lit with fairy lights and a cup of black tea piping hot beside me. A friend of mine gave us some lavender sugar and I find it so delicious in a strong cup of black tea ❤ It is so late … Continue reading Our little shop

It has been a dream of mine to see the Cabot Trail in the snow but have always thought it not practical because of the unpredictable nature of the weather at this time … Continue reading Winter in Cape Breton
On Saturday, I wrote about my peaceful mornings. Filled with tea, knitting, scents and animals. Winter is so unpredictable in Eastern Canada that I feel like we see the moon more than the sun.
