Our vintage kitchen hutch reveal is here!
We finally managed to refinish our water damaged
Frankenstein farmhouse hutch after ages of searching for a top unit to match, deciding on a colour. This refreshing hue makes storing my long time thrifted blue and white treasures so cheerfully and is such a happy focal point in our centennial farmhouse kitchen. It was a team effort as we were days away from a friend staying with us and celebrating our little M's 6th birthday dinner and wasn't that going to be the most rainy humid week of the year!? But we pulled through sanding and priming painting and giving existing hardware a little more glam.
Part of what made this unit so successful was that the upper and lower cabinets though from completely different generations and completely different finishes shared a lot of similar characteristics and curves. Now that they have been revived, they look as though they were always meant to be together.

High tea for our munchkins and we. Here’s the last little bit of felt food that I managed to whip up last month.
Four little tea sandwiches, two strawberry 🍓 shortcakes, a Thrifted two tier tray play food tray and a birthday cake with piping and wedged slices.
I’m never sure who’s more excited about these honestly, me or my bear cubs 😅.

My design process, it can be a sparkling idea from a need or desire or more often it can start with an inspiring material or textile that begs to be reimagined.

I’d like to introduce you all to my coveted collection of Canadian mint money bags. These were sourced by a best friend who knows me well who upon visiting another fellow Canadians creative space clear out -knew I needed to have them somehow.

So let me let you in on something you may have seen a sneak peek of a very cool quilted tote that I peekaboo last year, but I am working on a fresh line of bags, totes and duffles to celebrate these thick printed funky bags with a history. In the process, I’m trying to find a cute name for the lineup.

“My five cents”. “Call me money bags”, ”mint”, “in this economy”!? 😅 etc. To celebrate slow fashion, repurposing, and pops of personality not to mention unique quality handcrafted products.
If you have any lightbulb ideas, please comment below I love it so much when you share your thoughts with me.

That lightbulb moment hits when silliness, whimsy and creative flow find their groove. -Their emperors groove.
