It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of my mother, Eva Green, after a brave battle with ovarian cancer.
Many of you have received and loved the blankets and bunny loveys she so lovingly created. Each one reflected her care, humor, and generous spirit.
We will be stepping back from our final markets of 2025 to take time to grieve and honor her memory.
If you were hoping to purchase gifts for the holiday season, please don’t hesitate to reach out by DM — we’ll do our best to help when we’re able.
Thank you all for your understanding and for the incredible support this community has shown us. It means more than we can say. 💕

Ardis at Just Around the Corner has been so wonderful to create this beautiful shop filled full with locally sourced handcrafted creations. Thank you Ardis for the opportunity you created for me and other amazing talents!

I recommend taking a trip to see for yourself the charm of this local gem. Follow them on Facebook for updates on new inventory, specials and hours of operation.

Autumn 🍂 is upon us. Such a beautiful time of year in Nova Scotia for taking walks. Nature walks invite us to slow down, appreciate and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us. Spending that time as a family is also a wonderful way to nurture family bonds and communication.

However, it is cool out there. Have you seen our beautifully handcrafted Minky blankets? The gentle warmth of a premium quality blanket can make a stroll with a little one an even more pleasurable experience, or to cozy under after your return can be a perfect combination of nature🍁 and nurture. 💕

What is Minky fabric and why use it?

It is an ultra-soft synthetic textile known for its luxurious feel and velvety texture. Desiree ( Mercy & Me Handmade Shop ) uses the highest quality Korean Minky that maintains long-lasting softness and resists piling and shedding, that has your blanket looking and feeling soft for years.

These blankets provide excellent thermal retention without the weight, have hypoallergenic properties, have minimal fading, are stain resistant and are machine washable (even with frequent laundering). All of these make these blankets (and other Minky products in the shop) an excellent idea for a beautiful and practical gift 💝.

Please stop ✋ in to see more of what my friends have been creating lately. I think you will be pleasantly surprised 😮 with our variety and quality of handcrafted items.

Hey friends!
Life threw our family a bit of a curveball, so we’ve made the tough call to take a break from in-person markets for July. 💛

If you’re local or passing through Earltown, NS, be sure to pop into Just Around the Corner, Earltown, NS— a charming little shop filled with amazing creations from local artisans, crafters, and small business owners (including me!).

✨ You can still shop with us locally at the shop, online, or by sliding into our DMs — we’re always happy to help!

We’re looking forward to being back in person in August (dates and markets TBA).
Wishing everyone a sunny, restful weekend! 🌿
