Cuddling Up With Cannabis this Christmas

Canadians spent nearly one billion dollars on non-medicinal marijuana since it was legalized in April of this year.  Statistics Canada released figures this week, showing those who live in Santa's homeland spent $907.8 million on legal cannabis.

You don't have to smoke it, to enjoy it...

This Christmas, cuddle up with cannabis leaf inspired peignoirs, in oh-so-soft peachskin jersey fabric.  I photographed marijuana plants which were thriving in Woodstock, Ontario's August heat.  Talented "elves" in Montreal print, and sew up my designs.

Peignoirs are no longer worn only in the bedroom,  They're streetwear now!  They're smokin' hot, when paired with jeans or leggings and a tank top or t-shirt.  I have travelled back and forth, across the country with them, and even if I look slightly bedraggled, they arrive wrinkle free.  They're easy care, too!  Just machine wash in cold water.

Tamu and Zia, the Stolbie Sisters, the Vancouver-based trailblazing cannabis industry entrepreneurs, I call my cousins, sell my canna creations on-line.  Grow your own "weed wardrobe".  For every item sold, my design collaborators also plant a tree in BC!  Oh, Christmas tree!

Here's the link to their on-line shop:  StolbieBrand.com

WE Is Four!

Another milestone for Widow's Endorphins!  This little floral photography blog is now four years old, and nearing 38-thousand views!  WE did it...and I mean that in every sense.  Thank YOU for reading, and sharing.

It's been an amazing year of personal growth, moving outside of my comfort zone to enjoy new and wonderful experiences, and explore places I had not discovered.  For the first time in nearly three decades, I journeyed back to the Westcoast of Canada - my true home - and hugged old friends who are forever young in my heart.  I travelled to a small town in Ontario, to meet a big hearted family, and wandered down the back alleys of Toronto's Kensington Market district.  

In this age of social media, I challenged my own anonymity, posting photographs of myself on Facebook and other on-line pages.  The kid who dreaded annual school pictures, forced herself to take selfies, over and over again. 

This was the year of a new face for my floral photographs too!  Thanks to the fashion forward women of Vancouver-based Stolbie Brand stolbiebrand.com, I have expanded my line of floral clothing to include the elegant and graphic cannabis leaf motif. 

Thank you all, for your encouragement over the years.  Here are a few of your favourite blogposts from 2018...
