This post is a shoutout to nurses. I’m just recovering from 30 rough hours at Kelowna hospital (a planned procedure, I’m on the mend and will be totally fine) I had various nurses in different departments taking care of me. All the beds weren’t even full and they still had to hustle to take care of us around the clock. I was also so grateful to be in Canada with our medical system as I had a comfy room to myself . Of course my mind constantly visited the worst hit in the US, and I can’t imagine the pain and suffering happening down there 💔. A big Thank you to all of you nurses working your asses off in hospitals 🙌🏽❤️

A couple years ago we were driving down our rd and big grey owl was sitting on a power line with his back to us. We pulled over, I was in the passenger seat with a little dog on my lap and the window was down. I wanted to see the owls face so I quietly said “hey owl” in a split second the owl turned around and swooped straight for me and my little dog (sitting in a car) Wade and I were very startled, I shrieked a little and fumbled to roll up the window. The owl gave us a very dramatic flap of its majestic wings right in front of our faces then took a sharp turn away. It was amazing. and This Little Owl - I think it’s a Saw-whet owl ? Just sat blinking looking so little and adorable. My google search informed me they are incredibly tame and have no fear of us. It made my day, hanging out in my yard with a little owl.

Morning harvests have been quite fulfilling! In early May when there’s still snow in our garden I don’t feel much hope but it seems to catch-up!

Online shop has been updated! I’ve added this dress I finished a few months ago. The middle panel I hand wove with soft cotton, tencel and some silk threads. It’s lofty and cheerful 🤗 The back and side panels are linen (I did not weave this linen cloth!) 🌱For the shop update- I’ve sold out of a few colours and added a few new options. I’m very low on a few as well. Covid has made it all quite interesting! Planning another update in about a week or two. Free Shipping in Canada. Thanks friends 🌈

Just delivered a batch of dresses and tops (lots of tanks) to @zinniatextiles today. The online shop won’t be updated until next week. I need a couple days to hike, bike and take dips in the freezing cold rivers. This is a one woman show these days, I need to do a photo shoot, edit the photos and sit at the computer for a day.... if you have something you want please don’t hesitate to dm me! I have a list going that I’ll be working on next week. Thanks friends, hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

The online shop is closed for a couple days while I asess my fabric stock. Thank you to those supporting local makers and shops!! When Covid made its appearance I was a little worried about this little business and my friends businesses, but it’s seems to all be staying afloat. Thank you for supporting independent makers and shops!✨ Here’s some tea towels I wove recently with linen and cotton.

The sage brush surrounding Osoyoos is pretty special, I have to walk around those hills every time I’m there. Zinnia dress in the new blue stripe linen. This linen is very smooth, soft and crisp with varying shades of blue and white.

I love sharing photos here, I don’t love sharing

I love sharing photos here, I don’t love sharing my words. With any social audience over 5-6 people I become pretty shy, introverted and private. So I tend to keep my captions short and banal. However I do want to say a few things that I WHOLEHEARTEDLY believe in and support.
I believe in the protests and demonstrations that are happening, I believe in the Black Lives Matter Movement, I believe in supporting BIPOC, the LGBTQ community, women’s rights, immigration and so on...I think the police force should be defunded and reformed.
The past two weeks I’ve spent a lot of time listening, watching and learning. I’ve felt shocked, deflated, excited, hopeful, angered and inspired. There’s so much to learn right now and I’m committed and excited to do the work.

I said good by to this special space today. Our 1968 LandYacht Airstream has now moved on. It was such a positive experience to have it in Nelson. I really tried to find a good location for it but our cute little hillside town just didn’t have the room. I’ll miss many things about running this shop but as it drove away today I realized a big part of what I’ll miss is connecting with my community. I so enjoyed meeting so many people and having friends pop in to say hello. I’m having some feelings about letting it go but excited to move on to other experiences, having a summer, and not looking for the perfect location anymore. I’m really happy about who I’ve passed the torch onto... to be continued.
