💙 A Heartfelt Thank You 💙

As I unpack boxes and catch my breath after a busy weekend at the Dunnville Mudcat Festival, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by. Whether you were drawn to the crystals, explored the candle and oil blends, found a special sun catcher, sat for a tarot reading, or simply stopped to chat, I appreciated every visit.

One of my favourite parts of these events isn't what I sell—it's the people I meet. The stories shared, the laughter exchanged, the questions asked, and the meaningful conversations that unfold across the table are what make these weekends so special.

I left the weekend feeling grateful, inspired, and reminded once again of how wonderful this community is.

Until next time, thank you for being part of the journey. ❤️

I'm really excited to be a vendor at this year's Mudcat Festival. With it being their 50th anniversary, they are adding more music, dancing, antique cars, and family fun.
I'm looking forward to seeing you there.

Hey Dunnville and Friends of Dunnville…

We are just 10 days away from kicking off the 50th Celebration of the Dunnville Mudcat Festival! While our volunteers, organizers, sponsors, and community partners are still working hard behind the scenes getting everything ready for you all, we wanted to give you an “at a glance” look at the four days ahead.

As always, there is so much more happening throughout the weekend, so be sure to visit DunnvilleMudcatFestival.com for full schedules, event details, registrations, and updates.

It’s also NOT too late to get involved! We are still welcoming volunteers, and sponsors (registration for bed races, softball are needed!!) to help make this milestone year unforgettable. (Please note: T-shirt and banner sponsorship deadlines are June 2nd.)

For all our sponsors, we are so grateful for you! The sponsors featured on this poster represent only a small fraction of the incredible community businesses and organizations helping make this festival possible. Over the next month, whenever you see one of our sponsors, please follow their socials, say thank you, and support the businesses that support our community and love for Mudcat. We truly couldn’t do this without them.

We can’t wait to celebrate 50 years of Muddy with you!

June is packed.

Festivals, markets, live music, questionable food choices, kids with their faces painted, and hopefully some good weather somewhere in the mix. 😄

I’ll be out at a few events this month with tarot readings and my handcrafted candles, aura oils, and other things made with intention and probably too much thought put into them...and yes...crystals.

If you’re wandering through any of these, stop by and say hello.

📍 June 11–14
Mudcat Festival — Dunnville, ON

📍 June 20–21
Great Paris Picnic — Paris Fairgrounds

📍 June 26–27

📍 June 27 – July 1
It’s Your Festival — Gage Park, Hamilton

Looking forward to another summer of conversations, weird synchronicities, and seeing what people are drawn to. ✨

Full moon in Sagittarius is feeling like it needs an Amethyst suncatcher. 🌝

Sometimes the hardest thing isn’t moving forward — it’s returning to yourself after life has pulled you in too many directions at once.

Back in my Body was created for those moments.

Part of the Ground stage of The Intention Journey, this candle is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect with your own presence. Warm woods, soft herbal notes, intentional botanicals, Amethyst, and Black Obsidian come together in a blend designed to create an atmosphere of grounding, reflection, and quiet return.

Hand-poured in small batches using a soy and beeswax blend and crafted with premium essential oils from New Directions Aromatics.

This isn’t about escaping life.
It’s about finding your way back to yourself within it.

✨ Ground • Release • Return
