Listen... it's been four years. I don't think I can say it's "under construction" anymore... Let's just call it an ongoing renovation.

WHEN ART AND CHAOS COLLIDE
the sad potato
Once upon a time, Rachael had a friend who was sad.
Who reached out to her - looking for a laugh.
So Rachael decided to write them a silly poem,
to show them they cared, and that they weren't alone.
Well as it turns out, the little poem did the trick,
Because when they finished reading, their frown had flipped!
So with some encouragement, and a small, gentle push
the poem that was loved, was turned into this book!
And now you know how the sad potato came to be -
A reminder that no matter how sad you are - always stay sweet.
The same jewelry you've trusted for over 10 years - still here.
Original designs, hypoallergenic metals, and endless styles to make every ear sparkle!

The How
Rachael really loves making stuff.
Inspired by emotion, nature, and those around her, she loves bringing her ideas to life through art! From bold colours that POP and eye-catching neutrals that soothe and calm, Rachael uses her artistic expression as a supplement to therapy on her healing journey as a survivor living with c-PTSD.
Rachael believes that art can heal, inspire and encourage a shift in perspective - and loves that she gets to share her journey with all of you.
the what
From mittens and beanies, to wall art and functional pieces painted with any combination of mediums - Rachael's art style is constantly changing and evolving, and you never know what you're going to get when she steps into the studio!
And if that wasn't enough, let's add some potatoes into the mix.
The why
Every piece of art has a story - a tale of emotion, thought and inspiration. Through her blog (a WIP), Rachael uses words to explain the art and ultimately share her story with the world. Each piece she paints and every collection she drops has it's own unique story - and she's so decided to share that with all of you!
Let customers speak for us
Simple, gentle, and surprisingly touching. The Sad Potato helps kids understand big feelings without forcing a happy ending😀
A quirky, funny book for both children and their parents to enjoy! A perfect bedtime story for families to read together. We can all relate to those “Sad Potato” days.
So fun!! I love how the book gently explores emotions, in a way that is so easy for kids to understand! I’ve used it in my elementary classroom health class with so much success!
Such a cute book! :)
So sweet and simple. I used it in my classroom and my students loved it!
Love the simplicity and the humor!
Such a great book to broach feelings with little ones. Lighthearted and sweet
I too am a sad potato, it’s a great book! So relatable!
Very cute story! I found myself relating to the little spud more than I expected. There's a genuine charm in its simplicity that makes it an easy, enjoyable read. We are all little potatoes that can get sad and need a little guidance and grace. Amazing book!
The Sad Potato is a cute, funny little story that helps both kids and adults learn that it's okay if you need to take a little breather when everything seems like too much.
It's full of fun little rhymes and jokes, and I especially liked the duel reference to Lord of the Rings and Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up.
The sad potato is a great conversation starter with kids struggling with emotions and understanding them. The story line of the sad potato opens conversation on almost every page.
Thank you for a book that is easy to relate to and allows kids to learn from.
Gorgeous, just what I needed, thank you!
It's a cute book with a great story! I like that it rhymes and the story flows nicely.
This book is perfect for little ones that are dealing with big emotions. It rhymes, and it is easy for them to understand and relate to if they are having a bad/sad day. Perfect to read at home, in classrooms, daycare, etc.
A great easy to read story with your little ones.
