Five Blue Buttons

Thank you to everyone who supported my small business during my first ever Mothers Day sale. Framed art prints and cards flew off to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Onartio - as well as here on Prince Edward Island. Here's me and my mom - a few years back at an AGO exhibit in Toronho. This year I am fortunate to be able to celebrate with her on PEI. We've spent the majority of the last year together as she walked every step of my recent cancer journey with me. She is loved and appreciated - today and everyday.

One of Auntie's hooks for rug hooking. Behind it is a card featuring a detail of her "squared off" rug.

With the snow blowing outside, I am sending you all warmth via Auntie's Log Cabin quilt featured on this card.

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! My Auntie's favourite quilt was the Shamrock one. Ironically enough, she was 100% Scottish. #stpatricksday #SPD #stpaddysday #stpaddys #shamrock #irish #ireland #quilts #quilting #quiltingawesome #heirlooms #handmade #shoplocal #smallbusiness #greetingcardsforsale #stationery #greetingcardsofinstagram #greetingcards #pei #princeedwardisland #eastcoast

Happy Vintage Valentines - circa 1976. Boy do I remember these small valentines - especially exchanging them with classmates. My Aunt Josie was the recipient of these two wee valentines from me when I was in gfae (grade) 1. What can I say? I wasnt the sharpest knife in the drawer. #valentinesday #happyvalentine #happyvalentinesday2020 #happyvalentinesday #vintage #vintagevalentines #familytreasures #pei #princeedwardisland #eastcoast @ Saint Peters Bay, Prince Edward Island

Although their yellow is faded this time of the year, the ten or so finch flying around our feeders are a glorious sight today. This card is a print of an acrylic painting done by my mom - a present for her dear sister. #greetingcardsofinstagram #greetingcards #greetingcardsforsale #stationery #stationerylove #paperaddict #dailydoseofpaper #shoplocal #smallbusiness #birding #birdsofinstagram #birdwatching #birds #finch #acrylicpainting #pei #princeedwardisland #eastcoast #eastcoastartist #smallbusinessrevolution @ Saint Peters Bay, Prince Edward Island

The 19th century cast of Sex and the City? The image on this card was originally a tintype, which I found at the St. Lawrence Antiques Market in Toronto. #greetingcardsofinstagram #greetingcards #greetingcardsforsale #stationery #stationerylove #paperaddict #dailydoseofpaper #vintage #blackandwhiteimages #blackandwhitephotography #shoplocal #victorian #victorianclothing #pei #princeedwardisland

I just found the most lovely and unique panoramic postcard, which I sent my family in 1997. It depicts Ryoan-ji, a Zen temple garden in Kyoto, Japan. It was one of my favourite places to visit in Kyoto. On the back of the postcard, you can also see a stamp of my face I had made in Osaka. #panoramicpostcard #postcard #ryoanji #zen #zengarden #kyoto #Japan #temple #stamps #osaka #snailmail
