My Creative Neighbours

There are many creative people in this part of Nova Scotia. This page is dedicated to my friends in the Pictou, River John and Tatamagouche area.

John and Gillian Crawford are sheep farmers who have branched out and built a wool shop. Not satisfied with selling sheepskins, yarn and knitwear, they now manufacture unique wooden knitting needles which are causing quite a stir in knitting circles.

Harold and Valarie Langille are the talent behind YardBirds. They sculpt figures from steel, then add inlays of stained glass to create unique art for your lawn, pond and garden. Their product range includes dragonflies, roosters and fairies.

Beach Lane Lavender Farm is the home of Dave and Anita Carlson and their family. It is a certified organic lavender farm and they produce a wide range of natural lavender products for body care and aromatherapy, as well as gourmet foods.

Carvers is a great place to stop for a coffee in Pictou. Keith Matheson is a woodcarver, and first came to the area to work on the reconstruction of the ship Hector. He and his wife Anne now run this coffee shop / bar / carving school which has a wonderful ambience and equally wonderful view of Pictou Harbour.

Marg Jones is our local iris folding expert and has created a CD of iris folding patterns. She also runs workshops in various paper crafts. The next is a Paper Patchwork Workshop at the Library.

Woodworker Sebastian Ronin is the man behind Abel's Canes. His cabin is nestled amongst trees near the shore of the Northumberland Strait, and from there he handcrafts walking canes and sticks. Most items feature a handle with a carved animal or bird, and every stick is made to measure, just for you.

Artist Duncan McFarlane creates detailed colour drawings of wildlife and local scenes. If you are looking for a picture of one of our fishing  harbours as a souvenir, be sure to check his website or visit the Upta Par Gallery.
