Everything’s Coming Up Roses…

The world outside my window is snow-covered and cold.  Yes, it’s January in Canada, so I am not exactly surprised or even too dismayed by this.  But that doesn’t stop me from dreaming of some place a little warmer, maybe even tropical.  It has been far too many years since my husband and I last sat ocean-side with drinks in hand and the warm sun beating down.  So I am looking for ways to infuse my snowbound daily life with some tropical colour and a fresh, summery, lively look.   I definitely think these accessories from Rosella Resin are just what the doctor ordered!

The colour is so summery, and the delicate feather is so light and wispy!

Jessica & Gwynne are sisters currently living in Ontario.  Rosella Resin was born when Jessica (a trained mold maker and resin caster) returned from living abroad in Australia.  A self-proclaimed feather collecting junkie, Jessica realized that resin is a perfect medium to contain and showcase some of natures most beautiful items!  Add Gwynne and her talent for design, and you have a winning combination.

Ooooh! The colour, the shells... it's like a little piece of the ocean even on the most snowy day!

The wheat fields may be covered right now, but their golden beauty is captured in this wheat bangle.

Rest assured that Jessica and Gwynne get all their feathers and shells from licensed vendors that are cruelty free.  No creature great or small is harmed to create these fantastically fresh pieces.

Because we are *Canadian* + Handmade after all!

You can find Rosella Resin on their website, or at their Etsy shop.

Daiquiri anyone?
