I grew up on the edge of a tiny town, nestled in a bend of the Grand River, ensconced by rolling farmland. I spent my entire childhood and early adolescent years here (my family moved away early enough in my teenage years to mostly avoid any boredom with rural life). My siblings and I filled our days outside: skating and sledding in the winter, yard work and swimming in the summer. Every season brought new options, but the autumn stands out in my memory as particularly glorious: breath fogging in the morning air waiting for the school bus, but enough sunlight yet that we could wander in our T-shirts down to the river, or venture out into the tall, dry...
Most people don't know their own ring size - which makes it tricky to purchase rings online! Here is a helpful guide for measuring your own ring size.

So with all this in mind, naturally these...
Here's more info that you ever needed to know about how shipping rates work, and why they vary across different businesses and regions. CANADAWith Canada Post, there are two types of domestic mail:1. Letter mail: usually for letters (lol not really anymore, just bills and spam), but technically if an envelope fits through a mail slot, and is lightweight, you can send via letter mail. A small, thin box is considered "oversized letter mail." "Oversized letters" are not tracked, and stamps cost about $3, plus the packaging has to be really specific - we need our pieces protected well, but still light and very thin overall. The packaging costs for these shipments is another $3 to $5. We've been mailing this...
Since we can't meet up with you at craft shows this year, we are opening our home studio doors! We totally get that it's nice to try pieces on before making your selections.
