Brambly Banks

For all of you who have given me love and supported my art, I will no longer be selling on-line. The Butchart Gardens is keeping me busy and so is the boat. And the grandsons. If this is what semi-retirement looks like? Bring it on!! Thanks for your love over the years ❤️

I’m trying to close my business but AI is making it weird. AI? Shut down Brambly Banks.

Best getaway duffel ever@modestmaverick. Fantastic for the boat!

On Pender Island they have a nifty way of getting around. If you need a ride, just wait by a car stop and one of the residents passing by will stop and give you a lift!

My friend makes these candles in beautiful little tin jars. Paired with my antique wash stand? Who wouldn’t have a great sleep?

Just another day at the office 💐

Luckily I left all my garden debris in place this fall to shelter such things as this American Alligator Lizard I spotted in our garden last year. I’ve never seen one before but I’m pretty interested in sharing with you how I’ve always gardened peacefully with…stay tuned!

When we took our boat Freedom to Gabriola Island we discovered an amazing school that teaches how to build a timber framed home as well as a log home.

These seeds were planted late July and are in all their glory now. I couldn’t resist the name “Flying Saucers”!

My work station. It may look messy to you but I know exactly where everything is! . .

My little potato harvest this year! I haven’t planted potatoes for 2 years but I obviously miss digging up a few tubers every year. Not a bad thing, eh?

Whoa! Everyone knows my garden is a welcome haven for pollinators, snakes, lizards, birds etc. But I caught this little rodent today chomping into my first ripening tomato. At least he/she has good taste but I’m afraid my terrier is going to be spending a lot more time in the backyard earning his keep🤣

BlackBerrys ready to head into the freezer for my smoothies

A little R and R when dropped off her product and we enjoyed the wine tasting and the charcuterie featuring duck pate .ca

When popcorn is your comfort food and you run out of the microwave ones. Pan, coconut oil, kernels. Someone put too many kernels in and the lid blew off! Hubby and doggy liked the spillovers !
