Good morning! Down at the Tatamagouche Farmers’ Market with a nice variety of charcuterie boards, a lazy Susan (or Lazy Lynda as Gord Kelloway calls em!) some new funny coasters and much more. Lots of vendors here today come on down and say hello!

Experimenting with a new medium. I’ve been up and down emotionally a lot lately and I’m trying to give myself some grace. I’ve been wanting to try painting 🎨 with wine 🍷, yes WINE, for weeks now and finally sat down this evening to play and experiment. Wouldn’t it be fun to have a group of willing individuals who like drinking wine, try painting with it? This is my plan for sometime in the near future, to host painting with wine classes. Until then, I’ll keep working on improving and experimenting with wine. Until then, enjoy these lupins painted with Nova Scotia Lucie Kuhlmann wine and a Cabernet Sauvignon. Can you guess which is which?

A little bit of a wet morning ☔️ at the Tatamagouche Farmer's Market but it’s holding off except for the random sprinkle! 💦 This week I made some wine 🍷 jelly and have it for sampling. This is great on a cheese 🧀 board, a gourmet peanut 🥜 butter and jelly sandwich, warmed up as a dessert 🍮 topping, even with meats. $8 a jar.

What would you hang on this unique wine barrel coat rack? Where would you hang it? It has some black iron anchors and two vintage old faucet handles I fashioned (with the help of coupling nuts and hardware) into some hangers that I thought were reminiscent of a ships wheel. Finished with some steel barrel straps I cut and attached to give a nod back to the wine barrel it used to be. I’ll be at the Tatamagouche Farmer's Market tomorrow come by and take a closer look!

First market in a looong time. Treat it like a soft launch, I won’t have all the things I wanted to make and bring but I will have a nice selection I think. If you’re around Tatamagouche come say hello! 👋

Victoria Day weekend = the market is officially back outside! The market is in full summer mode, which means more vendors, more space, and more excuses to wander around. Live music by Drew Polegato will be filling the air so you can shop with those amazing vibes you love. The petting zoo is back too, because nothing says summer market like making eye contact with a donkey while you purchase your groceries 🫏🫜

Loaded the kiln this evening with a few bottles as well as some cut bottles that I’m hoping will turn or melt into tea light candle holders. It’s always a lottery with these but when they turn out they’re organic looking and very neat! The indent in the bottom of a wine bottle is called a punt, and functions for stability, sediment management and in the case of sparkling wine, withstanding pressure of the bubbles! These bottles all had deep punts so when they melt should create a nice natural indent for the candle. Fingers, toes and eyes 👀 crossed! 🤞🏻 I’ll keep you posted!

A lil sneak of some candle holders and a nice chunky live edge maple board I’m making and finishing. I do love quotes and I think these are quite fitting for the items I’ve engraved them on. What do you think of the leaves motif on the other one? I’m getting things ready as I’ll be heading to markets again soon. More details to follow!

Do you want to buy a barn…beam candle holder? This salvaged barn beam candle holder was rescued from a fallen century + barn in Port Howe Nova Scotia by yours truly. Cut and sanded and then stained a bleached driftwood grey colour, I added these metal legs (removable) to give it height and allow other things to be placed underneath if desired. Comes with 5 black ceramic tea light candle cups and candles. One of a kind piece for your table or mantle. $75.
