Collection: Conservation Collection
Based in Thunder Bay, Ontario, on the traditional land of the Anishinaabe people, the Treaty Territory of the Fort William First Nation, signatories to the Robinson-Superior Treaty in 1850.
A Lesson in Values
100% of proceeds (minus taxes and shipping) are donated to local wildlife rehabilitation and ecosystem preservation - because the choices we make at home can quietly change the world.
The Story Behind This Collection
I grew up walking the trails of Northwestern Ontario, learning the names of our flora, fauna, and fungi. Embracing all four seasons along the shores of Lake Superior, I've spent a lifetime quietly observing the wildlife that calls this region home. As both an educator and a naturalist, I believe the most important lesson we can offer our children is a deep and abiding respect for the natural world.
That's why I'm drawn to the vintage art of our region — it features the same wild neighbours I've cherished since childhood. In this collection, you'll find curated vintage treasures and Canadian artistry celebrating the natural beauty that surrounds us. Each piece is more than an object; it's a keeper of our shared natural heritage.
Your Purchase Makes a Direct Impact
This is vintage with a past — and a future
When you bring a piece from the Conservation Collection into your home, you're doing more than decorating. You're investing in the future of our local environment — and passing on a lesson worth keeping.
100% of proceeds from this collection are donated to:
Dedicated to saving endangered species through conservation breeding, reintroduction, and habitat restoration
Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre
Providing rehabilitation for injured and sick turtles across Ontario, with a focus on species at risk
Thank you for joining me in creating homes that are not just beautifully designed, but designed to teach what truly matters.
