Sometimes eclectic is best.

I love mixing different vessels from my collection to build an unexpected tablescape.

Some are hand-me-down pieces and some are handmade treasures I have collected over the last few years.

And can we take a moment for peony season? Such a gorgeous flower. Wish it was a flower that was available all year round — but then I suppose they wouldn’t be as special, would they?

In celebration of cherry blossom season in Toronto, these are my felt versions on natural branches.

If you want to have a custom branch made, send me a message. 🌸

Can you believe I have never gone to see the Toronto blossoms in person? Am I missing out?

I have fond memories of my dad making me crosses out of the palms on Palm Sunday. Even though he is no longer with us, making these crosses always helps me feel close to him. 💚

Remembering this custom project for a very special little girl’s first birthday. (If you have a custom project in mind, message me.)

Happy with how this banner and garland turned out. It is a great piece that can still be used as baby grows up.

@bearandbarbaloot is a felt flower genius and her peony tutorial allowed me to create these amazing felt peonies.

I was honoured to be an exhibitor at the 2025 Christmas One of A Kind Show. It was a full circle moment for me, as I have been attending the show for over 25 years and dreaming about launching my business for just as many years. Thanks to everyone who have been supporting my small business journey. ❤️

The Toronto One of a Kind Show opens a week from today!

Here is a behind the scenes look at the production process for my mini felt wreaths. I make each one by hand.

Looking forward to showing you what other goodies I will have available. Stay tuned!

So excited to announce that I will be a vendor at the 2025 One of a Kind Show as part of their new Christmas market section. 🎄(Booth L - 48)

As a longtime attendee of the show this is so exciting for me, but truthfully, also very scary. This is my first large scale show and I am thrilled to share my handmade treasures with a wider audience.

Follow along with me on my journey to opening day and keep an eye out for some opportunities to win free tickets to the show.

Happy to announce that I have opened a booth at the @artsmarket College Street location.

Launching my business has been a long time coming. Thanks to everyone who supported and encouraged me. All of you kept me motivated to finally do this.

Lots to learn still, but I am so excited for this new chapter! Can’t wait to experiment with novel techniques and come up with some fresh products.

And I love working with clients. If you have an idea, let’s chat. I would love to bring it to life.

Sometimes last minute ideas turn out best.

Had no idea how to decorate my angel food cake for Easter and thought a bird nest would be cute.

Found inspiration on YouTube for a nest made of vermicelli and chocolate. Used some mint I had randomly purchased and berries to create the feeling of a tree.

I had intended to swirl the Kinder eggs in melted white chocolate, but ran out of time.

I was still quite pleased with results, especially since I threw it together so quickly.

Sharing one of my upcycling projects for Earth Day.

Transformed this Blue Mountain coffee bag into a gift bag for a true Jamaican bad gyal. A shout out to my Jamaican roots.

I am a bonafide hoarder, but love to find ways to reuse my “treasures” and give them a new purpose.

It is my small way of producing less waste and also challenging my creativity.

Created this monogrammed gift box by reusing an old box that I covered in a beautiful Chiyogami paper. I added delicate unryu paper stamped and embossed with the recipient’s initials.

It is embellished with a gold wax seal (gifted to me by the recipient) and fine gold thread.

The box can be reused to store special keepsakes or stationery supplies.
