I am dealing with an autoimmune issue following a virus I had back in August. Tests have ruled out the scary stuff, so what's left is "post-viral syndrome": crushing fatigue, joint pain, headache, brain fog. Today makes four weeks, and there's no way to tell how much more to go. It's beyond frustrating, but hopefully 🙏 temporary.

I'm not able to do things as I normally would, in the shop or here on social media, but I'm still here 👋. I tag a few items when I am up to it and Mike (who has bravely overcome his lifelong Irish Catholic fear of breaking fancy things) brings them into the shop for me. And this friends, is why we hoard: I haven't been able to source in over a month but my shop room at home just keeps delivering. 😂 I can't wait until I can get in to The Rustic Chaos and do a big reset. In the meantime, this group of lovelies should be in by Friday.

I miss seeing everyone's posts and messages but I still don't have the bandwidth to scroll or respond. Hope you all are off to a great start for fall 🍁🎃🧡

One of my favorite pics of Mike and me. 💙 This was pre-Montreal, when I had a beach house in Onset, MA and thought we'd retire there. We had our first date in Onset in June 2017, at the Stonebridge restaurant, and we immediately knew we were meant for each other.

We camped out there for a few of the covid years, wearing extra sweaters and occasionally stuffing cracks in the old wood walls to keep out the winter wind. We even got married at the town hall in 2020, just the two of us, the town clerk, and our masks.

Life moved on and by late 2024, I'd decided to pursue a long-held desire to have a place in Canada (I am a dual citizen.) We were sad to say goodbye to Onset, but after many trips to Montreal together, we felt solid about the decision. I really had no effing idea what I was doing, but, as with most of my ventures, I dove in and hoped for the best. 😅 And it's been pretty great so far.

Still sick, have had every medical test on the planet, no answers. I think I might have mono again, but we'll see. Please send vibes. 💙

CLAIMED!

Montreal friends: I have two tickets to Josh Johnson's show at the awesome L'Olympia theatre tomorrow night at 10 pm. Unfortunately I am still too sick to travel 😭.

I am *totally* bummed, but would love to gift them to someone who'd love to go.

Please comment below if you want them, and then we can dm to handle the rest.

I have had some goodies packed up to head to the shop for a few days now, but none of us are going anywhere until I get over whatever bug/flu I've been dealing with. How I hate being thwarted 😭

In the meantime, enjoy this gorgeous aqua glass fingerloop candleholder from Glassworks in Poland c.1970. It will be in the shop soon.

I finally made it over to What A Yarn, which is literally 4 minutes from my house, and I've returned with a giant bag of yarn and needles and a new list of projects to add to my already ridiculously long queue. 🧶 Such a great shop, with all my favorite things: awesome yarn & fiber selection, amazing samples for inspiration, Chiagoo needles, and all the notions. And Katy is enabling in the very best way. 🩷

If you're local and you haven't been, GO.

Here they come! 🐕 🐩 🐕‍🦺 I'll be bringing to the shop a collection of beautiful Royal Doulton dogs in a variety of breeds. These are among my all-time favorite items to source and sell! The details on these are pretty exceptional. Most were made pre-mid 80s and modeled after breed champions. And they are SO cute!!

They make great gifts for pet lovers and pet parents as well as lovely decor pieces. Come see them in my booth or dm for shipping info.

I've said it before: I appreciate how well blue and white pieces work in every season, and I especially love it in the fall. The complementary relationship of yellow and orange to blue on the color wheel means those fall accents will absolutely pop against blue, and vice versa!

I have a great selection of all these colors in my booth right now, so come check it out! Many pieces are available for shipping as well; dm for details. 🧡
