I am a mother of four, now at home full time.  When I am not taking care  of my domestic tasks, you can find me in my studio creating practical  and beautiful uses for items with history.  I am also known to scour  thrift stores for items to repurpose and give new life.

Jewellery

Treasures found from the past.

Hello!  My name is Kendra and I am the artist behind Blushing Sage! Ever since I  can remember I have been drawing and painting. I have been passionate  about art and creativity my entire life.

In July of 2021 I decided to take the dive and create the small  business that I have always dreamed of. I create original digital  illustrations and turn them into beautiful art prints, greeting cards,  stickers, and stationery. My favourite part of the business is custom  portraits too! Please feel free to reach out if you'd like any custom  designs or portraits.

Blushing  Sage was created as a means to empower women - to help every person see  the beauty in both themselves and the world around them. There is  beauty in everything, you just need to see it through the right eyes!

Happily retired, happily married and happily the Mom to two  grown children, I've spent the past few years exploring my creative side  and realizing how much pleasure I get from creating stuff....all kinds  of stuff. I love wood burning, beaded work, making mobiles and during  the past year I have started working with stained glass. I'm very  excited about bringing all these passions together ....and maybe  throwing a little humour in there as well!

What kind of things  will you find at Bonnie Day Creations? Abstract stained glass,  suncatchers of all kinds, vases, cutting boards, wooden switch plates,  signs, gift and treasure boxes, zipper pulls, ornaments and the list  goes on.

I've enjoyed being a vendor at Queens since May 2019  and have been learning so much along the way. It's a great way to keep  myself from getting into trouble! I've recently changed the company name  and I'm in the process of setting up a Facebook page with photos of  some of my creations..... so there's more to come......

Something  else that makes selling at Queens so fun is that my longtime buddy has  teamed up with me and we share the booth....so now I'll pass it over to  Jo so she can tell you a bit about herself and what she's selling....
-Bonnie Duff

*As of 2021 - Bonnie Day Creations is now on Facebook!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My story is a simple one. I landed on “The Queen’s”  doorstep by way of “Bonnie Day Creations”. Bonnie is my long time  childhood friend and has agreed to join forces and share her booth with  me... stronger together.

Being retired has afforded me the time  to finally “clean house” and let someone else enjoy a selection of my  costume jewellery. I also have a variety of ladies and men’s jackets  (some leather and suede), belts, shoes/boots and handbags in the  clothing section. Sizes tend to range slightly, but most items are large  and x-large.

Now that I’ve “Taken Care of Business”, it’s time for me to pursue my more creative side. Stay tuned... and healthy!

ps. We should mention that both of us are fortunate to have  summer residences but with no internet, so you may not hear much from us during the summer months

Asian inspiration and Gypsona Plaster of Paris

When I met my wife, we looked to do something together. This started us out on a long and varied trip in the crafts field. We started doing macramé and then ended up with a craft shop in Stittsville where we gave lessons.

The craft store had several beads made from ceramic. I knew my Aunt had a kiln in New York City which I was able to obtain. This migrated us from macramé to ceramics.

I gave up my garage to create a studio where we continued teaching, this time ceramics. I was also pouring molds and selling them to other ceramics studios around Ottawa and the valley. 

We spent part of our retirement wintering in Arizona. This led us to beading, jewelry making, wire wrapping and into healing stones. 

Our semi precious stones come from all over the world; Madagascar, India, Brazil, Peru, Uganda, and many other places. 

We have been doing this for about 15 years. Over that time we have met so many good and interesting people, it makes all our effort worthwhile. 

We now have outlet stores Osgoode, Calabogie, Eganville and of course Carleton Place.

We can be reached at 613-836-3301 or by e-mail at budmannoly@hotmail.com. And we are found on Facebook, Mel_Lo Designs.

Products can be picked up at the store The Queens Crafters and Antique Market, or we can arrange for delivery or ship.

We have a great selection Made in Canada Apparel and hand made products.

I have been a collector for many years and got my start with many items handed down through the family. My focus is mostly Victorian china, transferware, English cups and saucers, tea pots, dessert plates and cake stands for High Tea, pink and green depression glass, pottery (McCoy, Sylvac, Fiesta ware, Roseville, Medalta), vintage Pyrex, mid-century style cotton/linen tea towels and tablecloths, Westclox alarm clocks, mid-century planters and flower pots, Cornflower Glass including Candlewick Glass items, and Chalet Art Glass. 

The fun of collecting is sharing with others who enjoy these pieces as much as I have. Passing them on to others is all part of the process. I feel that I am doing my part to preserve a little bit of our history.

Scruchies and Masks

Hello!  I'm Chantal - the maker behind Chantilly Creations. As the daughter to  an artist/artisan, I’ve been creating ever since I can remember.  Chantilly Creations all started with an idea—an idea to repurpose  unwanted treasures into something that is whimsical, cheerful, and  purposeful, yet embraced the charm and character of timeless vintage and  antique pieces. And so, in 2018, after a hiatus while completing  post-secondary school, I returned to my creative roots in full force.

Inspired  by elemental nature & vintage charm, I create unique garden and  home goods such as bird baths, bird feeders, plant stands, garden  totems, and ornate cake stands and jewellery dishes from upcycled  dishware. Incorporating my lifelong love for crystals, I also create  stylish beaded gemstone jewellery for all ages.

I'm  proud to call the beautiful town of Carleton Place my home! When I'm  not creating, I love to spend time gardening, near the water, or tending  to our small flock of chickens.

A trip to Italy inspired me to start my hand at working with glass.  Starting out making fused glass pendants eventually led to bigger  projects. Over the years I have attended numerous fused glass workshops  which have always taught me how to expand my skills.

I have participated in many  art shows and studio tours in the area.

Presently I’m a member of the North Grenville Arts Guild also the Richmond Village Art Club.

Recently I have set up a display at the Queens market where I hope to draw new people to view and purchase some of my work.

Quality Books and Fun Finds

In  2017, Anne-Marie Kelly embarked on producing a children's theatrical  production that required the creation of half a dozen muppet style  martian puppets.  

Anne-Marie took up the challenge to learn how to make  them herself. This sparked into an appreciation of puppet making and a  desire to make more.

Kids Dress-up and Fantasy Creations

Ottawa Valley artist Linda Standing has enjoyed drawing and painting since childhood but has only recently offered her art work for sale. 

As a folk artist in the tradition of Maud Lewis and Grandma Moses, she is self taught and her subjects depict scenes of the everyday life of our pioneer ancestors and country folk. 

Her simple style relies on design rather than realism through the use of colour, form and line. They reflect her imagination and are full of playful and humorous scenes. 

Her canvases are often found materials such as old cupboard doors and left over pieces of wood. 

Enjoy and smile! 

Dorothy Waterman, Curator

Hi, I am a local artisan who has lived in the Prospect Ontario area for over 40 years. The creation of my hairbands, scrunchies and mist were inspired by my grandchildren. 

They were designed by me and are 100% Canadian handcrafted from cotton to absorb the essential oil mist. A resealable slider pouch is provided to store the hairbands, scrunchie and elastics each time they are worn to retain the essential oil fragrance within the fabric. 

The mist is made using pure natural essential oils in two fragrances of Lavender & Vanilla and Tea Tree, Peppermint, Rosemary and Eucalyptus. The mist was formulated by a chemist I hired and is mild enough to also use on your body provided you carefully read and adhere to the directions, warning and precautions provided. 

The hairbands come in three styles to include a bow, braided and french knot in twelve fabrics of Moon & Stars, Love Bugs, Twinkle, Forest Friends, Dragon Fly, Mermaid, Butterflies, Yummy, Unicorn, Galaxy, Nature and Foxy. 

If you are interested in a fabric that it not displayed, do not hesitate to contact me at 

jpopowicz.fragrancehairfashions@gmail.com and I will send you a picture.

Jim MacCraken, owned and operated a music store on Rideau Street in Ottawa between 1974-2005.  Next onto a one-stop music sub distributor company called J.Mac Music, where he set up in Ottawa.  This warehouse sold to independent music stores in Ontario and Quebec. Then closed in 2015.

Latest chapter started winter 2017.  He rented a small 500 square foot warehouse in Perth to handle the routing music collections, CDs and Albums.  Buying good titles and hard to find titles from the many collectors and clients he dealt with over many years.

He only sells, top "A" condition products, thoroughly inspected and cleaned using the same cleaning method told to him by one fo Ontario's  top sellers of used vinyl.

He also has been very fortunate finding CD and vinyl collections, with such great titles, that he personally collects and listens to them dailty.

This is the third chapter of his music business life, finding excellent titles to offer for sale on CDs, Vinyl and some Cassettes, as well.

This is his 50th year of selling music, and maybe the most fun yet.
