Announcement    2023

I heartfelt thank you to all of you for your continued support, your kind feedback, and words of encouragement:) It's been a crazy rollercoaster of a couple of years, and I think we can all agree how greatly we've all missed the human connection. My lifeline during the last 2 years has been all of you! The wonderful messages, the sharing of dark and anxious times, the soul-felt gifts I've received from all over the globe. And as I carefully package and send my pieces home to you, I've been able to travel vicariously through them.

So many, many thanks for your orders, for your love, and all the stunning places you call home:)

2020

" And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently.

And the people healed. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal.

And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed."
~ Kitty O'Meara

SUMMER 2017

It's our first official summer out of the big city and we are LOVING our new country life in the rolling hills of beautiful Caledon! It was an especially wet (yucky) spring here and I seem to be attracting most of the people-biting insect population within a 100 mile radius..but hearing the wind in the trees and waking up to birds fighting over their morning worms is a far better way to start the day then the honking of cars and sirens of emergency vehicles in the bustling city. Having a 5 year old in the house for the summer has proven to be the biggest challenge these days..work in the studio has been slower here lately but there are frogs that need catching and monarch butterfly chrysalis' to count! We've discovered that garter snakes do best when left alone (eeek!) and I'm elated to say that our property is also home to hundreds of fireflies when the evening is just so.
There's magic here on our 40 acres..and we feel lucky to have been chosen to discover and share in it.

Hope you're all enjoying your summer..wherever you call home :) Thanks so much for visiting!

SPRING 2017

Never mind that there's SNOW forecasted for this Thursday, it's officially spring baby! I'm starting to see glimpses of vibrant green tips breaking through the cold wet ground on my walks and the winter-loving chickadees seem to have disappeared overnight. She's almost arrived, Lady Spring..I can feel her in those blustery days and the squishy thawing ground..hurray! Despite the muddy tracks my little monster and furry girl insist on bringing into the house, it's with great pleasure that I can now put away my winter Bogs and bring out the Wellies.

Welcome out of hibernation!

Winter 2016

**HOLIDAY SHIPPING UPDATE**

** Holiday shipping times are in full effect and postal services everywhere struggle to keep up with the overwhelming increase in letters and parcels! Please keep in mind that regular shipping times will not apply during the holiday season..purchases destined for the U.S. will need to be upgraded to Xpress shipping to ensure delivery by the 24th, International parcels will need to be shipped using outsource services such as FedEx. Domestic shipping within Canada can remain the same until the 15th..after which Xpress is highly recommended. **

************************************

Hello! Blue Gnome is finally off vacation mode..things here are still pretty insane and it will be a little bit before the studio is fired up and running..but in the meantime, current pieces in the shop are ready to be shipped :)

A BIG thank you to so many of you who took the time to shoot me messages of encouragement during the move and share with me some of your humorous moving experiences (because misery loves company! lol..) can't wait to get the shop set up and running again!

Please understand that at this time, I am still not accepting custom orders or alterations. All the pieces available in the shop are presented as they are :)

Thanks for your patience!
