local grain

i have this friend kim.  she’s amazing.  end of story.

ok, so it’s not the complete end, but it could be because i certainly don’t need to prove it to anyone.  but i know how it’s hard to take a complete stranger’s word for it so i’ll give you a reason to believe.

she is good at nearly everything she puts her hand to.  she recently graduated from emily carr and if i told you how long it took her to master these wood working tools, you might gag a little (because it was only about a month ago that she started).  she just had an idea one day…and this is what emerged: local grain.  beautifully handcrafted wood products; signs, family trees, teething necklaces, mobiles, christmas ornaments…you name it.

and introducing my most favorite piece/concept…

kim is only going to take a limited number of “commissioned” pieces.  since i have an in, if you are interested in having your silhouette immortalized in a piece of maple, give me a shout and we can set up a mini-session to capture the perfect moment to be ingrained…like the pun?

this is my friend kim. i told you she’s amazing.  local grain will be at fieldstone vintage market tomorrow (saturday the 3rd) from 12-5.  it’s a MUST visit on your holiday shopping list!

    teething necklaces? oh, do tell…

  3. YES! It’s true I saw Kim’s work in person at the market! She’s fantastic I am wearing one of her teething necklaces right now, so pretty and you don’t NEED a baby to wear it! Also she makes these great little bears that climb up strings and Phoenix was given one, which he loves and plays with every morning!

  4. Loved Kim and her beautiful woodworking! Did you say that she mastered the tools in a month?!? Must be her calling! Great photos 🙂
