Alphabet Photography
Niagara Falls, Ontario
Alphabet Photography is the work of Jennifer Blakeley. Jennifer and her husband Sam run the business together, along with their partner Miriam Laundry and other members of their close knit team. This project was inspired by a children's book called "Alphabet City" published in 1999 by Stephen T. Johnson. Jennifer spent a large part of 2006/2007 traveling North America with only one goal in mind...to collect a complete gallery of photographs that look like letters of the English Alphabet. All of her photographs are of objects found in their natural surroundings that are un-staged and not found in any pre-existing signage. After two years of collecting photographs from around North America, Alphabet Photography is now a successfully trademarked business in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, with a customer base from all around the globe. Alphabet Photography makes a great wedding gift, baby shower gift, and is suitable for any occasion. Alphabet Photography will make a stunning addition to your home decor! Our Alphabet Photography framed pieces make unique wedding gifts, housewarming gifts and are suitable for all occasions! www.alphabetphotography.ca

Harvest Pillows

Elizabeth has been sewing and designing clothing since she was a teenager, creating garment lines and several creative projects as they arose. Her practicality has always been a sustaining element to her designs, with sensible use of materials, in order to keep her sales price to the customer affordable - for all. With this in mind it is mentionable that such thinking allows most of us to enjoy - and benefit, from her line of Harvest Pillows. Elizabeth has exhibited in hundreds of shows, in Canada and the U.S. since 1998, and continues to maintain a steady schedule throughout the year. She is welcomed by many repeat customers and organizations and alwaysenjoys hearing thier personal stories of sleep improvements, with her buckwheat pillows.When one becomes aware of the considerable amount of creative projects which Elizabeth has undertaken, it's amusing, and rather ironic, when she states that her most successful design line has simply been "a bunch of squares". www.harvestpillows.com

Her sculptural jewellery is a result and reflection of this passion for change and this fullness of living.To satisfy her travelers heart, Kari Lynn left Toronto to spend her third year at the Ontario College of Art and Design off campus studio in Florence Italy. Her lust for colour and texture led her to the jewel like large scale mosaics that draped the small nearby city of Ravenna.

They were the reason for her choice to pick up sculpture and begin working with clay in her graduating year at OCAD.Since this new direction in her life, Bianchi's artwork and jewellery has been sold and exhibited across the country, including the Royal Ontario Museum . Custom collections were created exclusively for Janet T Planet many fashion shows during multiple seasons of Toronto Fashion Week.

Pine Creek Hollow Soy Candles
Ridgeway, Ontario
My name is Christine Savage, and I am the owner of Pine Creek Hollow Soy Candles. We are a family owned company based in Ridgeway Ontario. My passion for soy candles began approx 5 years ago when my sister gave me a soy candle for Christmas. I loved it! It made sense to burn a healthier candle, as it fit in with our philosophy of protecting the environment, nature, and our interest in decreasing our dependence on oil products. So, I began making my own soy candles. Soon after, I started selling them, and Pine Creek Soy Candles was born. It has been 5 years now, and it is very much a passion for me, making a beautiful product out of a sustainable resource. I personally pour each and every candle with care and a great deal of love. I encourage people to try environmentally friendly soy candles for the health of our planet, as well as the improvement of your INDOOR air quality! www.pinecreekhollow.com
