Hi!
I’m an artist and designer of jewelry, greeting cards, recycled metal tins, soaps, and whatever else I have up my sleeve! My shop has a vintage-inspired and neo-Victorian feel to it. Vintage, retro and eclectic lovers can all find something they might like!

I’m obsessed with lace and frilly things. And I have a huge paper addiction.... you can never have too much scrapbooking paper: it’s so versatile and pretty, I use it in card-making, in scrapbooks, in jewelry, etc.
I decided to open this shop to sell all the creations I make. My condo is overflowing with them and it drives my boyfriend nuts! I truly enjoy making new things, experimenting with new mediums, and trying out new crafts. I'm always trying to find an interesting way to incorporate something new into my creations. This way, I never stop learning!

I’ve been featured on the Art Colony for my works of art (yeah for me! I’m so proud of myself) and in magazines such as Scrapbook Extra. Here is a link on my art if you’re interested:

I'm currently studying at the University of Ottawa in Environmental Studies. My second passion is the environment and I hold very strong values towards it. I try to be as green as can be. I will often recycle old items into new ones, re-purposing them or just giving them a new look. I truly believe that humankind is part of nature, not above it. Therefore it`s important to be ethical in our ways of life and respect the world that surrounds us!

I also will find uses for old fabric that friends and family would just throw away. It's always fun to discover a few yards of old floral fabric that no-one wants anymore! It's like Christmas every time.
