It was an honour (and a veritable full-circle moment for me) to be asked to make a large batch of my Folky Songbirds of Canada tote bags for none other than musical gem @rufuswainwright. The bags were sold at his recent Northern Stars concerts in which he covered songs by the featured Canadian songbirds (plus a few more), and the proceeds of which benefited his beloved, late mother Kate McGarrigle's Foundation. KMF is dedicated to raising money for critical research to combat sarcoma - the rare and underfunded disease that took Kate's life in 2010. I grew up singing along with my own mum to the records of the McGarrigle sisters so, in my family, this is essentially the equivalent to winning the Nobel Peace Prize. #leonardandbuffyandkateandannaandjoniandneil
PEI, I'm so excited to be coming back to see you that I made a very special batch of handmade tote bags for the occasion. I think they may be my favourite things I've ever made. They were inspired by the heart on the Borden-Carleton lighthouse, and I'll have them with me at @etsyteampei's Spring Market next weekend in Charlottetown. Come! It's going to be so fun! ❤️
