Some people become part of the story of a little bookshop long before they ever step through the door. Patti has been one of those people for us. 🦢💖

She’s been cheering on our wee cottage bookshop since the very beginning — celebrating the big milestones, the quiet moments, and everything in between. Friends like Patti are such a huge part of what makes this little space feel so special, and we’re endlessly grateful for the kindness and encouragement she’s shared with us since we opened our doors.

She popped by the cottage the other day and captured these dreamy new photos (seriously… how magical are they?). And if that wasn’t enough, she also happens to be an incredibly talented author.

If you haven’t discovered Patti’s work yet, this is your sign to do so. ✨

Treat yourself to something nice this long weekend. Maybe a fresh bouquet, a hot new buzzy book, or a cottage bow book sleeve 🎀💐

We love filling the cottage with pieces made by talented women in our community. These beautiful book sleeves are handmade by our friend Lady May, and the florals from Bloom & Spade.

Starting this week, we’ll be carrying her locally grown flowers in the shop, which means the bouquets will change week to week depending on what’s in season — always fresh, always a little different.

Pop in, take your time, and find something that feels like a little treat 🌷✨

We’re so excited to finally share this one with you. ✨

Join us Friday, June 19th from 6–8PM at Kettlewells for a creative and inspiring evening celebrating the launch of The Daily Play by Brittany DeSantis (Peak Paper Co.).

We’ll spend the evening chatting with Brittany about the book, creativity, and rediscovering play in everyday life before settling in for a guided hands-on journaling session using some of her favourite techniques. The evening will wrap up with personalized book dedications and signing time.

Your ticket includes:
• An author talk with Brittany
• Guided creative journaling workshop
• A signed copy of The Daily Play with a personalized dedication
• A limited-edition art print
• Light refreshments & snacks

And because we’re hosting this beautiful evening at Kettlewells, you’ll also be able to wander through antiques, florals, and all the dreamy cottage-inspired treasures throughout the night. Honestly, the perfect summer evening. 🌸

Tickets are $100 + HST and spots are limited. We think this would make such a lovely Mother’s Day gift for the creative soul in your life. 💐
