Really love these photos taken by @yan.c.younivers

Really love these photos taken by @yan.c.youniverse for the @peachtree.team client appreciation event last weekend, where I was hired to do tarot card readings for guests. Great photos of a fun day, and so generous of everyone to share them with me.

This was my set-up for a fun backyard tarot event this weekend, doing readings for a real estate agent’s annual client appreciation party. Great vibe, lovely humans, beautiful day. And look how handy my wrapped rocks came in! 😂

Friday afternoon on the porch, wrapping linen cord

Friday afternoon on the porch, wrapping linen cord around rocks. Summer, please never end.

This idea vexed me for quite a while when I had more ribs, but as soon as I dropped down to a simple cross it was much easier. And I just love the 🌜charm.

Yesterday was such a fantastic adventure at #Taste

Yesterday was such a fantastic adventure at #TasteofManotick. I was hired by @themanotickvillage to do tarot card readings in exchange for donations to the Manotick Food Cupboard. I met so many lovely people, did more than 65 readings and raised over $400!! And I’m pretty sure the festival is my new favourite tarot vibe. More like this please!!

Had a super fun adventure this morning doing tarot

Had a super fun adventure this morning doing tarot card readings for a seniors’ breakfast sponsored by @rossupportservices at the Manotick legion. Met so many lovely people and absolutely loved connecting with them. (It was also a great practice run for my participation on Saturday in @themanotickvillage Taste of Manotick festival, where I will be reading tarot cards for guests!)

On the way home I walked past @watsonsmillmanotick and had a little fun taking photos of my sign and my favourite building. Setting my intention: Manotick’s favourite tarot card reader!

The Jock River meanders through mostly agricultura

The Jock River meanders through mostly agricultural land in Ottawa’s rural southwest. It’s a unique paddling experience, different from my beloved Rideau and Ottawa rivers, which each have their own vibe. The Jock is small, full of turtles and frogs and otters and herons and other critters, and has these old bridge pilings every kilometre or so where the farmers who lived along one side of the river built bridges to access their agricultural properties on the other side. And now, decades later, nature is slowly reclaiming the remnants of those bridges. One of my favourite spots for a peaceful paddle and a deep breath of nature.

A less complicated rock wrap today, featuring some

A less complicated rock wrap today, featuring some soft faux suede cord and a pretty gneiss little rock if I do say so myself. 🤣

Late summer on the porch weaving on rocks - that’s the good stuff! The rainbow one didn’t turn out quite like I planned when I set out, but the brown linen and cream silk one with the button came out exactly as I had planned. Maybe even a bit better!

Coneflowers always remind of ballerinas, in the style of Degas. They grow prolifically in my garden and always make me happy.
