April Tidings / Bealtaine Eve

April 30, 2022April 30, 2022 ~ finfolkandoak ~ 8 Comments

Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia Blessed Bealtaine Eve to you! April has come and gone. A whole year has passed since we packed up our old farmhouse on PEI and crossed the bridge to create a life in Nova Scotia. One whole year! I can hardly believe that we've traversed a cycle. It has been so full … Continue reading April Tidings / Bealtaine Eve

Leap Year

  Good afternoon Earthly creatures! I hope we are all well on this elusive February 29th! It's overcast on the island, the thick blanket of snow is coated in ice, making walking a treacherous endeavour.    The days are growing so much longer and I am over joyed with the thought of moss beginning to … Continue reading Leap Year

" I'm so glad that I live in a world where there are Octobers."  Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables, 1908. Sometimes I feel so honoured and lucky that I live on the island that inspired L.M.  Montgomery.  Reading through her journals, she is the essence of Anne: highly spirited, optimistic, in love with nature … Continue reading Forage and Forest

For years, I have heard of a place in Northern Cape Breton Island that is home to wild horses along with moose, seals, bears and coywolves.  When I turned 20, my mom and sisters and I drove up to Meat Cove - the most Northern tip of Nova Scotia to spend time with the cliffs … Continue reading Hiking Pollett’s Cove, Cape Breton Island

Blood Moon January & Golden Knits

January 20, 2019January 20, 2019 ~ finfolkandoak ~ 16 Comments

Hiya! The high energy has been palpable these past couple of days, leading up to the blood moon Lunar eclipse and inevitably on the East Coast, a storm.  Sadly, we won't be able to see the eclipse but of course it will still happen!  So this morning, I am sending out positive affirmations and sharing … Continue reading Blood Moon January & Golden Knits

Good evening! Another January like day here in the Maritimes.  The fields have been humming with snow mobiles so we have been walking on nicely compact paths :).  The past 2 weeks have been very busy for us here, but now I have a full week to dedicate to making and I couldn't be more … Continue reading Draw & Knit

Goodmorning Faye Friends!

Very Rainy Day

September 26, 2018 ~ finfolkandoak ~ 5 Comments

The day is cold, and dark, and dreary; It rains, and the wind is never weary; The vine still clings to the mouldering wall, But at every gust the dead leaves fall, And the day is dark and dreary. (Excerpt from Longfellow's The Rainy Day)   A nesting day.  I am happy because I have … Continue reading Very Rainy Day
