About Me:: I'm an author, mom of four, and collector of vintage everything. I'm new to the world of art and Etsy, but already passionate about both.

I am the parenting columnist for Yahoo! Canada, where I promote very Etsy-ish themes: indie shopping, upcycling, raising kids who are creative and green, etc. These themes also come through in my books. (My best known books are THE MOTHER OF ALL PREGNANCY BOOKS and the other parenting books in that series, which I created.)

Have a fabulously inspiring day.

Off to get first cup of coffee.

Etsy Friendships

One of the nicest people I met in 2007 was a seller I met via Etsy. I purchased a few Christmas gifts in her shop -- including a lap quilt, a quilted pillow cover,… Continue

I think I started off in a rather unconventional way....

By posting to my comments rather than my blog.

But if there's anywhere that encourages thinking outside the box (whether it's a text box on a blog or any other kind of box), it's on Planet Etsy. So I figure I'm safe.
