Block printing on a snowy Saturday night

Cool pastel skies on this snowy Saturday

Old friends, old friends Sat on their park bench like bookends

There is magic in the feel of a paddle and the movement of a canoe, a magic compounded of distance, adventure, solitude and peace.

Hope y'all have a safe and relaxing New Years. We will be home chilling with this little dude. So long 2020! You were historic in so many ways. Let's all hope 2021 is bright and freeing and not so four horseman of the apocalypsese. #PeaceOut2020

Well, that's a wrap on 2020 folks! We're closed until early January to take some much needed time off and to celebrate Christmas (in our social bubble). We will be unavailable to answer our messages on December 24, 25 and 26. Other than that we will be checking in regularly. We want to take this time to thank you for all your support and love this year. You filled our hearts as this was by far the busiest Christmas we have ever had. ... Without all of you amazing people our little dream would not have grown into what it is today. We are humbled daily by the love, excitement and loyalty of our fans. You guys are AMAZING. We love all of you. We have some exciting plans for 2021 and can't wait to share with you. We want to wish you and yours a Christmas and New Year full of laughter, memories, relaxation and love. We are so excited for what 2021 has to bring! Kent, Ashley Toddler T and Baxter P.S. In case you didn't know, we LOVE pictures of our stuff in your house! So, please send us pictures of your loved ones with their new pieces!

Nice day for a zip

Keeping busy! Where do you call home?

It is hard to believe but Xmas is less than 3 months away. I know it seems crazy to be talking about Christmas orders but it is fast approaching. And the pandemic makes shipping and getting materials more "interesting" this year. We wanted to give you lots of warning as we will only be taking custom orders for Christmas until November 12th. We will have a select number of spots open this year so don't wait too long or you might miss out. We will also be keeping our etsy shop open into early December for our most popular designs and xmas ornaments. Merry Christmas y'all!

Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me Other times, I can barely see Lately, it occurs to me What a long, strange trip it's been

Blue skies and golden sunshine

Last year at this time, we were right in the middle of the Etsy Nanaimo Market in September. We were not only a vendor but also part of the organizing committee. This year is so different without the hustle and bustle of markets and preparations for Christmas events. To say this year is unusual is an understatement. Do you miss going to markets? How have you adapted without them? Etsy shopping? Online stores? Lots of changes. Although we might not be able to see you in person this year in a market setting, we do have a full assortment of cool things in our etsy shop (https://www.etsy.com/shop/Westcoastkitsch) not to mention still accepting customs. Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday even without all those market events.

I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living my baby you'll be.

BUYLOCAL PANDEMIC SERIES We took the apples from our tree to Port Alberni Apple Pressing (https://www.facebook.com/freshapplejuice/) today. They did a phenomenal job. Highly recommended for being economical and super fast. So if you have extra apples and don't know what to do with them, why not drink your fruit and help out this little business.
