As I was collecting coastal art for Anna Pearlā€™s bridal shower, I was so excited to come across this painting for sale about an hour from our home. It was a bit of a drive but I loved the colours and that ā€œMuskoka feelā€.

We have enjoyed it so much in our home, but wall space is at a bit of a premium around here ā€” and I know this painting deserves a special place of its own. So, before offering it for sale, I started doing a little research.

That tiny ā€œannaā€ signature in the lower corner led me to the revered Finnish-Canadian artist Anna Jalava (1926ā€“2012), whose work is closely associated with the landscapes of Muskoka, Parry Sound and Ontario cottage country.

Adorned in its original and fabulous dimensional gold and ivory period frame, and based on its signature, composition, size, materials, the brushwork and that signature, I can confidently attribute this as one of her original pieces.

Painting ā€” 18 Ɨ 24ā€
Framed ā€” 25 Ɨ 31ā€
1950-1960s
šŸ§” $275

I donā€™t often ask premium pricing for the pieces I find. Part of what I love about Lovey Collected is finding beautiful things and being able to pass them along at prices that still feel accessible.

But this one is a little different. Anna Jalava works are currently being offered for $650 and beyond, so Iā€™m really excited to be able to offer this beautiful original vintage oil, in its incredible period frame, for $275.

I think this one is meant for someone who loves Canadian art and feels that same pull toward Muskoka that I do. Or who simply appreciates beautiful pictures and that striking pink sky!!!!

āœØ MID-CENTURY MAGIC āœØ

Say hello to one (actually two) of my absolute favourite vintage finds: hand-crafted lamps by Dornbusch Studio Ltd. šŸŒæšŸ’”

Just down the road in Kingston, Ontario, Canadian artisan Hildegard Dornbusch created a signature ā€œherbariumā€ style that is pure magic. For over 50 years, she hand-picked, pressed and arranged local wildflowers, ferns and autumn leaves, sealing them permanently into translucent parchment shades. Then, each shade was bound by beautiful, intricate hand-stitching along the scalloped edges. It is a level of craftsmanship you just donā€™t see anymore.

Ohā€¦ and the real magic happens the moment they are illuminated. āœØ The translucent parchment radiates a warm, golden glow, casting the spectacular, intricate silhouettes of wild ferns, autumn leaves and wild flowers across the room. šŸšŸ•Æļø. Truly spectacular! šŸ§”

I sourced these two particular lamps on two different occasions but I knew immediately that they would make ā€œthe perfect coupleā€. By pairing a classic 1960s speckled stoneware base with a rich, late-70s cobalt blue glaze, you get that layered, lived-in texture that defines a collected home.

I also knew who would love to welcome these into her home. She had reached out to me to express her deep admiration for the large Dornbusch floor lamp that I have shared previously (and am keeping for myself), and asked me to keep an eye out for one for her too!

When I sent her pictures of these beautiesā€¦ it was an immediate YES. To both!! šŸ§”šŸ§”

And maybe this is a good time for a little reminderā€¦if thereā€™s a special vintage treasure youā€™ve been looking for,ā€¦ let me know! I especially love that moment when I come across something and immediately think, I know EXACTLY who would love this!!!!

How lucky am I! How lucky is she! How lucky are WE!! šŸ§”šŸ§”

August starts school next week, and before that big adventure begins, I wanted us to have a little adventure of our own. We spend a lot of time collecting old things and talking about the stories and memories they hold. Today was about making our own new memories.

August knows he lives in Stirling, but he doesnā€™t really KNOW Stirling yet. So today we set out to explore a little bit of the place we get to call home.

We visited the covered bridge and kept an eye out for crocodiles in Rawdon Creek. šŸ˜‰ We stopped at the beautiful cenotaph and talked about how lucky we are to have neighbours who take such care in making the gardens ā€” and our little town ā€” so beautiful.

We went to Farm Girl Cafe for lunch, where August decided to eat the cookie we had bought for Peepaw instead of the lunch he had ordered for himself šŸ˜‚. Then we read books, played with toys, and honestly, he could have happily stayed there for hours.

After lunch, T**i (Adi) and August walked to Henry Street Park while I snuck in a visit at The Vintage Junction, where I got to check out the new clothing section ... so good!

It seems those vintage shoes I chose to wear werenā€™t made for walkingā€¦ so I drove over to the park to meet up with Adi and Auggieā€¦ where I found him happily playing with many other kids.

We may have had to carry him kicking and screaming from the park because he didnā€™t want to leave but, in that moment, two thoughts were on my mindā€¦. 1). This kid is READY for school. 2). How lucky are we to call Stirling-Rawdon HOME! šŸ§”

Okay maybe three thingsā€¦ 3). I canā€™t wait to take these dang shoes off!!! šŸ§”

Vintage Muskoka. šŸ¤

I picked up this beautiful matching pair of mid-century pure wool blankets in Bracebridge, in the heart of Muskoka cottage country.

The woman selling them, now in her 70s, shared that her mother had originally purchased them for their family cottage. For decades, these blankets were simply part of their summer life there.

Dating to the 1940s-50s, they have a creamy ivory background with fine grey/blue coloured stripes and that wonderfully understated look of old Muskoka cottages, lodges and summer resorts.

But thereā€™s another little detail that makes their story especially intriguing. Both blankets carry the exact same hand-inked number: ā€œ75.ā€

That matching number suggests they were likely inventoried together and have likely been mates for nearly a century. In hotels, lodges and resort settings, textiles were often numbered for inventory and sometimes organized by room or department. Could ā€œ75ā€ have once connected this pair to a particular room or set in one of Muskokaā€™s grand old summer resorts?

Perhaps somewhere like Windermere House on Lake Rosseau or the Sherwood Inn on Lake Joseph? Did they spend their earliest summers folded at the foot of twin beds in an old Muskoka resort before eventually finding their way to a family cottage in Bracebridge? Weā€™ll never know for sure but it is sure fun to imagine!

One thing we do know for sureā€¦ after all those Muskoka summers, theyā€™re ready for their next chapter. šŸ¤

Can you you hear those waterfalls when you look at this painting. šŸŒæ

Artist F. Westerveld captured the movement and the moment of Canadian cottage country so beautifully ā€” rushing water, slender birch trees and deep forest greens. It has that familiar feeling of summers spent by the water and quiet drives through cottage country.

An authentic 1980s original painting, signed by the artist and still in its original wood frame. Beautiful texture and movement throughout.

Approx. 21.5ā€ x 16ā€ framed
$45

šŸ§” Located in the Oak Hills, Stirling

The prettiest vintage suncatcher for a sunny window. ā›µļøāœØ

This vintage stained-glass sailboat comes alive when the light hits it ā€” deep cobalt waves, creamy sails, warm amber glass and that perfect flash of ruby red.

At 10ā€ x 8ā€, itā€™s an easy piece to tuck into a kitchen window, cottage, sunroom or anywhere that could use a little colour and character.

A little East Coast nostalgia. šŸŒŠ. Who else instantly thinks of the maritime when they see a lighthouse?

This vintage piece has it all ā€” a lighthouse perched above a rocky shoreline, crashing blue waves, windswept trees and the most beautiful soft, timeworn palette. And that warm wood frame with its age and patina? I wouldnā€™t change a thing.

Perfect for an old cottage, lake house, bunkie or collected gallery wall ā€” and equally lovely for bringing a little cottage feeling home year-round.

Approx. 19ā€ x 24ā€ framed
