The Old Tin Star

Sigh....remember travelling... We can only reminisce with this favourite places sign. Customize your own with all the good memories of places you’ve visited....and dream of when you can go again!!

Another amazing quote from the man Gord! #thehip #gorddownie #theoldtinstar #rusticsigns #quotes

Last 2 orders of 2020, and that’s a wrap. It’s been a different year, but we’re still standing and we’re even still smiling...and that’s sayin’ something. Here’s to hoping we can be together again in 2021....... Until then, love each other the best yet. We all need it. All my love, my gratitude, and my biggest ever wishes of peace for you and yours... Until next year!!

You know what’s been a little quiet? My socials. You know what hasn’t been? The barn!!... Orders have been clicking along full swing with Christmas only 36 days away! Orders will be closing Nov.30th, so if you have something in mind, send it my way!! Huge thanks to all of you for supporting local this year. I miss your faces up here with me!

Anyone else??! #surviving2020

It happens every year about this time. Amidst the many requests for signs filled with joy, and peace, and happy things...there is this. There is loss. And it reminds, over and over again, that we must walk ever so softly among one another.

Starting with the Christmas orders up in here...

I was so honoured to be able to work on this piece today for a special little miracle baby. My beautiful cousin @amysweetland and her husband Josh welcomed baby Haddon into their family this past June. Haddon was born with a rare heart condition called Transposition of the Greater Arteries. This required open heart surgery for the little guy shortly after his birth. This tiny warrior has been through so many ups and downs in his few months of life, but has come out shinin...g and smiling. Commissions for your little ones gives me an amazing few hours to focus solely on them, and on their little budding lives and stories. While I’m painting these pieces, I’m usually also praying for the little hands that will receive them. And today, for Haddon, there were prayers for a healthy heart, for long life, for continued strength, and an abundance of happiness for him and his family. Thanks for this honour, Amy! Love you guys.
