What a lovely idea.

When we decided to create our Autumn Evening For Two, it was after hosting this epic dinner by the river.

We realized this was a beautiful and unique setting for a date night! 💕

Sometimes the hardest part of having a date night is first making the time, and next figuring out what to do.

We have you covered!

For An Autumn Evening for Two, we’ve created a gentle flow you can simply step into: a warm welcome, movement together, dinner in the forest and time by the fire.

There’s structure when you want it and room to enjoy each other’s company when you don’t.

Join us October 24 beside the Herbert River. We’d love to set a place for the two of you.

Do you have a lovely notebook tucked away because you don’t want to spoil it?

Maybe you’re waiting for the right words. Or a better idea. Or the day your handwriting magically improves. 😊

My October blog is a little reminder that you don’t need any of those things.

A grocery list. A book recommendation. A thought you don’t want to forget. Ordinary life is worth writing down, too.

“The Notebook Doesn’t Mind Where You Start” is now on the blog. I hope it gives you a little nudge to stop saving the good things for later.

A gentle October reminder from Gwen at GG's Handmade Creations: your journal doesn't need to be perfect. Open it, write what's on your mind, and make it yours.

🌿 How beautiful is this right in our own backyard?! 💕

Sustainable Hill Wellness Resort is just down the road from my little studio here in Scotch Village — and I love seeing our West Hants community thrive! 🍁

If you're dreaming of a beautiful intimate wedding like this one, you're going to need the perfect handmade cards to go with it — wedding invitations, thank you cards, and those special little touches that make your day truly one of a kind! 💌✨

Stop by GG's Handmade Creations and let's create something beautiful together! 🌸

🌐 ggshandmadecreations.ca 📍 Scotch Village, NS

Our bride and groom knew they wanted something simple, meaningful and centred around celebrating with the people they love.

So, we created a new Ceremony + Cocktail Hour Package just for them! 💍🌿

Their one-day package included:

✨ Exclusive use of Sustainable Hill Wellness Resort
✨ An outdoor ceremony beside the Herbert River
✨ Use of our 1,150 sq. ft. events deck for their cocktail hour
✨ Access to our 600 sq. ft. event tent as a weather backup
✨ Use of our Rustic Wooden Benches for their ceremony
✨ Guest parking and washroom facilities
✨ Time for decorating, the ceremony, photographs and the cocktail hour

This package is perfect for couples who dream of a beautiful outdoor wedding experience without hosting a full reception or booking overnight accommodations.

We loved helping this couple create a celebration that felt true to them. If this sounds like the wedding day you’ve been imagining, send us a message to learn more! 🤍
