Crafting the art of thoughtful expression

I have always loved giving and receiving greeting cards. When I was young I used to make cards to give to everyone, including my pets. I found people really enjoyed receiving my cards, especially when I gave it to them as a just because or thinking of you card.

I love creating them and hope you enjoy them too. I design and make all the cards here in Shawnigan Lake, BC. I create the cards through my own craftiness with pen, paper and paint, graphic design programs, licensed clip art and have started to do a bit of AI-generated graphics as well to bring you the fun, unique designs you will see in my shop.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Hester produces fresh, organic produce from local farmers in New York. Even our spices are fresh. Just because pickling is a preservation process doesn’t mean you can use dried-up thyme or week-old asparagus that’s already a little spongy.

We want to give our customers crisp, crunchy and delicious pickled vegetables and fruits. Most of all, we want to expand people’s palates and prove that pickles don’t always come in a green or red variety.
