I went back to the city last week to participate in an incredible fundraiser for Breast Cancer research: Living Pink through Fashion. The show was organized and produced by Karen Smith (Beauty in Motion) and Kimberly Turner-Edwards (K Turn Around Jewelery), and was held at Hamilton Place.
I was thrilled to have the opportunity to walk the runway as well as show a few pieces from my Living Pink line of handbags. Here is gorgeous model Andrene Parris showing my Valentine bag.

Settling into life in Norfolk County continues to be a joy and a struggle. I have everything I ever wanted…except a regular paycheque. We’re coming up to the best season for me in terms of reFurbished sales and concert performances, but October is proving to be a bit of a stumbling block. So I’m putting my nose to the grindstone and determined to produce as many pieces as I can before my first artisan show of the season (Definitely Not the Mall, Old Town Hall, Waterford, November 6 & 7).
This week the Norfolk County Fair is running in Simcoe, so of course it is raining cats and dogs. I believe it’s part of the tradition: the Tuesday is School Day, every student in the county has the day off school to go cheer their teams on, and it’s cold and rainy all day. I remember very clearly the feeling of going home and changing into warm dry clothes, to spend the rest of the day in front of the woodstove.
I don’t think I’ll go to the fair this year…maybe next time, if the sun comes out.
