This sign has suddenly been getting a whole lot more attention on Etsy lately… more views, more favourites, more people finding it. 👀🇨🇦
And considering everything going on, I don’t think the timing is a coincidence.
There definitely seems to be a renewed sense of Canadian pride lately — and along with it, a bigger push to buy Canadian and support the small businesses right here at home.
As a Canadian small business owner, that part really means something. Shopping Canadian feels more important than ever right now. Every order placed with a Canadian maker or small business keeps those dollars here, supports local families, and helps businesses like mine keep doing what we do. ❤️
So while I’m not going to wade too far into the rest of it 😅… I will happily get behind Canadians supporting Canadians.
And apparently this little sign agrees. 🇨🇦❤️

Laser cut and engraved home decor, memorial items, and custom pieces

I am SO proud to have had a tiny part in this gorgeous “last day of daycare” cake! 🥹❤️
The little piece of loose leaf was laser cut from white acrylic, then the details were UV printed — and I’m kind of obsessed with how it turned out. Having these two machines working together has opened up SO many possibilities for custom cake toppers, and I can’t wait to make more!
But the cake itself is the real work of art. Adrienne Lewis absolutely knocked it out of the park, as always. 😍🎂

There’s something about a simple “Welcome” that just feels like home 🤍
This new sign is one of my favourites—warm wood tones, soft greenery, and that little burlap bow detail that pulls it all together. It’s the kind of piece that works year-round and still feels special every time someone walks up to your door.
Handmade, layered, and finished with care—because the first thing people see when they visit should feel like you.
This one is heading to a fundraiser, but I have another drying right now because I needed one too! ♥️
Some years we skip the sugar overload and fill Easter eggs with experiences instead of candy.
Little wooden tokens for things like movie nights, ice cream runs, choosing dinner, or staying up late.
The kids still get the excitement of the hunt…
but the prize is time together.
Honestly, those are the things they remember.
🌷 Easter token sets available.

This one is a little late for Christmas… and that part is on me. I couldn’t squeeze it in before the holidays.
But here’s the thing I love about this order: she was still thinking about this sign in February.
That tells me it wasn’t just a quick decoration idea — it was something she really wanted in her home. And those are always my favourite pieces to make.
So her “All is Calm, All is Bright” sign is finished and ready, a full nine months early for next Christmas. 🎄
Handmade, layered wood, and made right here in Nova Scotia.

The Most Triggering Ornament of 2025
Apparently I’ve accidentally crafted the most triggering ornament of the year.
🤣🎄
Between the comments, messages, eye rolls, lectures, and “give it a rest already” replies…
this little SIX SEVEN ornament has people FEELING THINGS.
Listen — I didn’t make the rules.
The kids came up with it.
I just turned it into something cute, because that’s literally my job. 😂
If it’s not your thing, that’s okay!
If it is your thing, you’re in good company — because I’ve never had an ornament stir up this much chaos AND sell this fast at the same time.
Anyway… back to painting, engraving, packing orders, and apparently triggering half of Facebook.
Thanks to everyone who’s had fun with this trend and supported my little shop. ❤️🎄

Parents Everywhere: If I hear 6-7 ONE. MORE. TIME. So naturally, NATURALLY, I had to make this ornament!

Preserving handwriting is one of my absolute favourite things to do. Cutting boards, ornaments, jewelry — those little notes, recipes, and signatures that hold so much heart. Every time I engrave one, it feels like I’m helping a memory live on in a new way. 🤍
