I live in the city of London, Ontario, but my heart is still back on my childhood farm in the Eastern Townships of Quebec.

I am an "Upcycle" Artisan and I create all kinds of fun, funky, and earth friendly items! I create the following Product Lines... GYPSY MOJO (items from or for the garden), PINK SHEEP (restyled clothing & accessories), & CURLY FRY (cards, bookmarks, weird decor and novelties).  I am a mixed media artist and photographer & sell/show my paintings and photos under the name HEIDI WHOLENESS. ​I run an upcycled craft/art supply exchange called BEES KNEES ETC. & I sell all of my items from a vintage mobile camper boutique called DEAR THELMA, LOVE LOUISE. (New this Fall, Dear Thelma, Love Louise is setting up shop on ETSY!)  I write a lifestyle Blog called DON'T EAT WOODEN NICKLES that ties the many facets of my life all together!  I'm a bohemian, gypsy, type living the second half of my life. I have wanderlust, and like to explore cool little places and buildings and wander aimlessly through forests. I like to grow stuff and paint on things and I love words. I support sustainable living, Free Food, bartering and swaps, saving the bees, urban gardening, and social enterprise. I am also living with the challenges of a brain stem tumour. I share my home with my husband David, two dogs, a bird, and at any given time 6 grown kids and 4 grand kids who come and go!
