โœจ๐Ÿ„ Fascinating Fungi Friends ๐Ÿ„โœจ

A creature that is born of this earth and returns from which it came. Much like us all.

But a little different than you and I, the mushrooms call, deep into the web beneath the surface of what our feet know. A network so intelligent it would make your mind grow just to know.

In fact it does, when we nibble and become one with fascinating fungi friends, who go on and on. To revel in the magick of cycles and revere the lush and mossy edge of a pond.

I find myself in awe of these creatures, whose intelligence goes beyond what the eye can see. Perhaps these fungi can show us the way, finding sense in you and in me.

Teachers, reachers to the sun, yet in the dark and damp ground. Blooming and pushing up soil to say hello. Rotting and turning to mush, much like dirt itself. Fleshy and colorful, no two are alike.

Yet, I wander and wonder what life would be, if we too slowly grew and rose only to fall and become one with the darkness below. Returning to the web of all we know. A simple cycle so valuable and refined. Earth mothers children of the damp and the divine.

I'm still reminiscing about my adventures in Kaslo at the Kootenay Mushroom Festival ๐Ÿ„๐ŸŒฟ

After the busyness of the market I went on a cute nature walk in search of some fungi friends. Chai latte in hand, I found myself practically tripping over mushrooms on the short walk I took. In fact, I spent more time enjoying gazing at mushrooms than walking! Upon leaving I had realized that I made it through 1/4 of the trail!

These are just a few of the magickal fungi I came across, I normally don't like picking mushrooms if I don't have intent to use them in some kind of way. But I'm not used to seeing such an abundance of these fungi friends! I had the pleasure of picking and examining all kinds of different species of mushrooms in Kaslo! I truly understand why they host a mushroom festival in this lush and cozy town!

If you recognize any of these beauties let me know! I haven't begun to try and identify them yet. Though I believe I recognize a couple.

A piece of my heart was left by the stream where all of the mushrooms grow and my heart did shimmer & gleam โœจ

Wow! This weekend was filled to the brim with all kinds of magick! I got to travel to Kaslo, BC and share my whimsical forest fairy creations with all of the fungi loving folks at the Kootenay Mushroom Festival ๐Ÿ„๐ŸŒฟ

Huge thank you to KMF for inviting me out to vend this year ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป I had THE BEST time with you all! Not only did I meet the coolest nature loving people, I got to enjoy this charming town and embark on a beautiful journey to the west Kootenays! It was a pleasure to share my art with this community ๐Ÿ’– I really felt the love at the Kootenay Mushroom Festival!

I totally get why a cute little place like Kaslo hosts a mushroom festival! Anytime I walked on a nature path I was practically stumbling over dozens of miraculous mushrooms! This place is filled with them! It was fascinating getting to view the ID Tables where people shared their fungi finds from the mushroom forays throughout the day. Stay tuned for my post sharing some of my mushroom finds ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿฅฐ

What a beautiful adventure, I look forward to returning to Kalso, BC ๐Ÿ’– this place has a little piece of my heart. See you next year Kootenay Mushroom Festival! ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ„๐ŸŒฟ

The mushrooms are calling and I must go. I'm off to Kaslo!

I'm excited to be sharing my whimsical forest fairy creations with all of the cool fungi loving people at the Kootenay Mushroom Festival this weekend ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ„๐ŸŒฟ These are just some of my latest creations that you can find at my whimsical green table โœจ Kootenay Mushroom Festival

I'm currently on the road headed for the west koots! Honestly, any excuse to go to the west Kootenays is an absolute pleasure for me. I love it over there! It's crazy how different mother nature is from one valley to another. I always enjoy how humid, lush and colorful the West Kootenays are.

I'm excited to celebrate and explore the magickal kingdom of fungi this weekend. Will you be there? Come say Hi to all of the amazing vendors at the Kaslo Legion as you float between the talks, stages and mushroom forays โœจ

See you soon Kaslo!

Blessed be the colored leaves, the crisp breeze and the slow slumber of the earth ๐Ÿ‚

September feels like it flew by in the blink of an eye. Like one last wildly whirring month of activities, travel and time with family.

October always calls in this slow, soothing energy for me. As I watch the trees change colors, marking the mountains with warmth and flare, I find myself remembering that the darkness of the year is approaching swiftly.

I'm brought to the stove to stir bubbling cauldrons of nourishing soups and stews.

I'm called to the bowls in the darkness of the night, singing soothing frequencies in my home and out into the land and the ethers.

My hands come to clay and I reflect on the many gifts this medium has brought to me, and the ancient nature of this art form. I wonder if any of my ancestors placed hands to clay?

As the birds fly south and the ravens come closer to the land searching for carrion, I too find myself coming closer to the places in which I am an opportunist.

October breezes blow in a shift.

Autumn calls us inward.

Into our homes to prepare our nests.

Into ourselves to reflect.

Into the darkness of the year, a time of deep wisdom, thin veils and dying earth.

I've been sitting with this months autumnal offerings. Looking into the cauldron of the collective and finding inspiration in the trees whispers. The bowls and I will be in Invermere sharing space for rest and rejuvenation twice this month. Along with a special offering for Samhain.

Stay tuned for details ๐Ÿ‚โœจ

Oooooh it's my favorite time of year! Autumn, when the leaves are falling, the Halloween decorations are out and some of the most beautiful full moons of the year are about to peek out of the night sky!

There's something so nostalgic about this time of year. I've always loved Halloween and crisp mornings. During autumn I usually find myself painting cute ghosts and pumpkins. I particularly loved how this cute bowl turned out!

Like come on, how adorable is the blushing ghost and that plump lil pumpkin? Plus, this bowl is sporting a new glaze that I recently added to my collection! Amaco Deep Speckled Olive ๐Ÿ˜ I love how this glaze looks like a delicious shiny apple.

The folks at my recent market gigs have LOVED the ghost and pumpkin pinch pottery! This one here is ๐ŸงกSOLD๐Ÿงก My last available pumpkin piece ended up at made In The Mountains today! They got a cheeky lil restock from me after Fall Fest ๐Ÿ‘€ Pop over there and see what's new!

More ghost and pumpkin pinch pottery is coming ๐ŸŽƒ๐ŸŒฟ including some beautiful mugs that will be available on my 0nline Sh0p Mug Drop! Which has been rescheduled to October 17th! Mark your calendars! You don't want to miss your chance to snag one of my signature mugs ๐Ÿฅฐ

๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ„ Kickin' it at Fall Fest! ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ‚

Today you can find my creations and I at the Fall Fest event in Invermere! Wow it's wild to think that this is my last outdoor event of the year! And what a great one to close out the season!

We've got an array of amazing local vendors here, talented live musicians setting the vibes, games and activities for the kiddos and the legion is hosting a BBQ! It's a beautiful autumn day for some time with mountain loving community ๐Ÿฅฐ

Cool breezes and blue skies, lots of love for local art and plenty of familiar faces. I'm grateful to call this community home ๐Ÿ’–

Come by and enjoy Fall Fest while it's here! Much like the leaves on the trees, Fall Fest is fleeting! We are here until 2pm ๐Ÿ‚

Musings from the Autumnal Equinox ๐Ÿ‚


Mother Earth always knows.

Her wisdom rising from the forest floor, through the soles of my feet as I take gentle steps upon her. The gentle hum of the roots beneath me.

The mighty stillness of the trees. Planted in one place forever, always observing yet so very still.

The trees teach me that even in times of hardship or uncertain elements, that I can too hold strong and remain still. Shaking off old leaves among the rumble of the external world.

When I seek strength and patience I go to the trees. Their earthly teachings always remind me that we can be so similar.

Seemingly doing nothing, but simultaneously growing, shedding, and deepening my roots.

Sometimes the journey is experienced through stillness.

Sometimes the learning comes from observing.

Sometimes, we just have to exist and trust what comes.


Blessed be thy autumn air, crisp and cold.

May the bounty of harvest warm these bones.

As I lay my body to the night,

May yee rest as spirit takes flight.

Fluttering to the harvest moon,

A moth, a hare, a maidens tune.

Transforming pelt to match the snow,

Magick and wonder, the moons ever-glow.

Breathe in the air from crushed leaf,

Brush and rake, reveal what is beneath.

Soil rich and richer still,

Cool winds blow, I grab my twill.

By my will may this be,

An autumn welcome naturally.

Oh these crisp mornings have me feeling some kind of way! Autumn is one of my most favorite seasons and it seems that she is creeping in a little early this year! The flowers are showing off their final blooms, yet the trees are yellowing and the animals are preparing for the cold months ahead.

September brings forth some cozy markets and events...

This weekend I'm thrilled to be travelling to the Slocan Valley for the wild mother gathering where I'll be sharing my whimsical earthern creations and the magick of the black quartz bowls with my offering - Honouring You Meditation and Sound Journey โœจ

On September 26th you can find me in my green tent at the Invermere Farmers and Artists Market Fall Fest event in downtown Invermere, BC! I'm excited to see all of the cute autumnal themed creations that will be there ๐ŸŽƒ๐ŸŒฟ

Later in the month, on the eve of September 27th I'll be hosting an Intuitive Painting Class at Carm Haven Studios where we will be painting a Full Moon inspired art piece! ๐ŸŒ•โœจ Stay tuned for a soon to come post with more information โœจ
