Instead of watching/cursing the sudden snowstorm that has just descended (lousy Smarch weather…) please enjoy these sunny snaps of some new pretties that just joined my Etsy shop (link in bio) starring those crazy sparkly #herkimerdiamonds that I posted about a few weeks back, and a pair of soothing #mossagates from my goblin hoard. More newness coming soon, I’ve been on a mad creative streak lately (which feels like a consolation prize for the mad depressive streak I spent most of my winter in. I’ll take it.) Stay warm, friends - spring is coming (just not today 🥶🙄) … #newjewelry #ladysmith #ontarioartist #wearableart #quartzcrystal #agate #oakville #newdesigns #etsyseller #springfashion #everydayearrings https://www.instagram.com/p/CqYvUosO1qw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy weekend! ❤️ … #birthdaygirl #caaaaaaaaake #anothertriparoundthesun https://www.instagram.com/p/Co0I178OEut/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Monday, friends. Here are many textures from this morning’s hike. Not pictured: me channeling my inner Princess Aurora by feeding the chickadees from my bare hand while giving them little pep-talks, which has become one of my favourite cheer-ups. Just trying to live my best Disney Princess life over here…🙄 The trees have been tapped at the park and the sap is flowing fast - always encouraging to see. Hope your week is off to a bright start. Maybe put some seeds in your pocket and go for a walk? ☀️🐦 … #hiking #foresttextures #weirdsky #getoutside #mossmacro #lichen #bluesky #mondaymood (at Bronte Creek Provincial Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Conlb5WO1-r/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Our family said goodbye to a beautiful friend yesterday. 🌈 Our darling Dharma came to my parents just days before the pandemic shut everything. Her arrival was a bit of a last-minute miracle kind of thing; she needed a home, my parents’ mischievous pupper Max needed a friend, and it seemed that within mere minutes of first meeting, everyone had bonded tight. What unbelievable luck. I met her beautiful face over Zoom, and it was more than 8 months later that we all finally got to hug her, and we all bonded tight again. I just loved her right away, so much. She would lean so hard into you that she’d damn near push you over, she sat patiently for long hugs and grooming sessions, and had us in stitches every day with her performative, operatic playtimes with Max and a slew of stuffies (all well-chewed, all somehow called Llama.) She and Max became such good friends, like each other’s Missing Piece. As heartbroken as I am that I won’t see her again, I can’t imagine his or my parents’ loss right now. Dearest Dharmi, thank you for bringing such joy, companionship and comfort to our family. 3 years with you wasn’t long enough, so we’ll just keep loving you forever. ❤️❤️🌈❤️❤️ … #ourgirl #rip #rottiemix #dharma #thegoodestgirl #wedontdeservedogs https://www.instagram.com/p/CoiZMKYuVuj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A pint-sized chihuahua is always in style; But when mixed with a walrus, the results are just wild!

Serving up some moonbeams on this lovely Lunar New Year 🌑🌗🌕 Moonstones have entranced me since I was a kid; I started my life-long rock collection with a tiny polished moonstone that I still hold dear, purchased in a rock shop in Gananoque, ON when I was about 11 or 12. I think that might’ve been the stone that started the obsession for me. These white, rainbow, and peachy moonstone pieces are available in my #etsyshop; link in bio if the moon’s hit your eye...(sorry...😬🙄) ... #lunarnewyear #moonstone #rainbowmoonstone #ladysmith #oakville #ontarioartist #peachmoonstone #sapphire #silversmith #artisanjewellery #madebyhand #mooninspired #lalune (at The Moon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZddjQ6OsxS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy belated Monday, friends. Despite the disappointing times we seem to be mired in, my beloved geranium that always blooms for Feb. 1 came through.

Forgot to post a flower yesterday because Monday served us up a whole heap of chaos, followed by efficiently brutal 24h head colds (likely not covid, tested neg), so instead, here’s a hunk of sunset ice that we found when we went on a stupid walk in stupid windy -15 weather to boost our stupid immune systems. And yes, I am rather proud of that run-on sentence, thanks. It’s the most productive/creative thing I’ve done in the past 48 hrs...🙄🤧 ... #stupidheadcold #icechunk #wintersunset #goosearmada #lakeontario #oakville https://www.instagram.com/p/CZL4XpKu_AU/?utm_medium=tumblr
