I have officially started my metal smithing apprenticeship at the Perth Jewelry Guild!

I have the opportunity to learn beside a very knowledge Goldsmith and friend of mine.

I’ve constructed two silver rings, pearl/silver studs and I’m currently working on my third scallop ring for my stack.

This ancient occupation predates recorded history.

I’ve have put some things on the back burner to focus on jewelry making!

I’ve also secured a local part time job as my farm season ends this week.

This spring I helped my friend Jennifer open her store Ephemeral, Downtown Perth!

This is an artist collective shop, everything is handmade by someone local.
It’s filled with passionate and talented artists.

It’s also home to the Perth Jewellery Guild where I am starting an apprenticeship to make jewellery.

It’s been a great few months for us, having a great deal of success myself selling vintage and handmade clothing.

If you’re ever in Perth go check it out.

Open Wed-Sunday 11-5

What I’ve been up to this Spring/Summer!

Offically the start of harvesting season at the vegetable farm!
Feeding hundreds of families organic produce, I think farmers need more recognition then they receive.

I’ve been taking on gardening clients, weeding, mulching and monthly maintenance.
If you want this for next season please get on my list ASAP.

Still teaching yoga too!
Find me in Merrickville every wednesday evening.

These photos are from my personal rose garden I’ve been working on.
Ive added a lot of new varieties this year (and every year) and they’re doing fantastic.

I would love to make a rose garden for someone, and help maintain it…if you know any locals, estates or businesses that want something like this to attract customers and bring in a new vibe to the land, or bring back the old vibe of historic rose gardens.

I’ll be back to facials in November.

I’ve been a little quiet on here as I started my job with Rooted Oak Farm in North Augusta, working on an Organic Vegetable Farm with 7 planted acres!!
I am falling in love with vegetables every single day I am there.

I am still teaching yoga Wednesday evenings in Merrickville at Power Pole Performance.

My friend Jennifer will be opening her new shop Downtown Perth very soon!
If you are a local artist looking for a shop to sell your items or host workshops, this is an amazing new spot where I will be hosting my Rose Rituals workshops and events!
I also am selling my Vintage and Handmade clothing collection here.

My husband has started Emerys Lawn + Garden, and you can probably take a guess that I am the “Garden” in Lawn + Garden.
Offering lawn cutting and gardening services to the surrounding areas.
(We are full and unable to take more lawncare clients this season, but have lots of openings for garden services)

If you have any questions please send me a message! I can direct you to an organic CSA farm share or Ephemerals website, and also can come quote gardening services.

Moving 6 hours from where you grew up is not easy.

Everything I do here is brand new to me, this is a personal challenge as I struggle to put myself out there.
I am constantly being pushed out of my comfort zone.

I grew up in a very small town, lived in the city at points in college, but settled back into an even more remote location in the country, than I had grown up in.

Smiths Falls, Merrickville and Perth have more people and are bigger bustling towns than ive ever been used to living near.

This is like city living for me, with so many people and being close to amenities and tourism.

I’m a small town girl just trying to navigate a new life and location in Eastern Ontario.

I appreciate all the interest in my services, but I am putting a hold on most services for the summer, as I start a new job organic vegetable farming.

My true passion is plants, and showing the power of healing through nature and the garden.

I hope one day I can share that more here with all the new people I have yet to meet and connect with.

Thank you everyone for your interest.

45 varieties of roses coming to Rideau Lakes this summer!
25 bare roots, 19 planted last fall.

I moved to the area from 6 hours away, the soil structure is much different in this part of Ontario.

I have a lot of work to do this summer to learn about the difference in growing conditions here.

Wish me luck, and let’s hope there will be an abundance of roses for classes and workshops.

I can’t wait to share them with you! ❤️🌹
