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
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.
Such a cute book. Doesn’t hurt that the author is a cutie too!
Super cute story with charming illustrations!
As someone who is on their own mental health journey the message in this book really brightened my day. Will probably have to bring out as a reminder on days when I'm not feeling my best.
Plus the illustrations were so cute. This book is ageless.
She knows it by heart but still asks to read it every night!
I was able to read this book early-ish in its inception and it's a great combination of adorable (a sad little potato? Come on!), with a great message on how to help deal with big emotions, and also hilarious for adults who love puns, as it's just got so many potato puns mashed into it (see what I did there?)
One of the most creative all ages books you'll ever find. It's fun and silly and an easy read, but also a genuine easy to understand lesson about handling emotions and understanding it's okay that they get hard sometimes. The illustrations are adorable and funny and done by a real artist and buying this book should be a no brainer because we're all a sad potato sometimes.
The most charming little book thats equally as fun for the kids, as it is for the adults reading it! Full of puns and cute pictures, this book is a great tool for teaching emotional regulation in an entertaining way. Definitely a must-have for classrooms, daycares, and parents of small children. We love this book and can't recommend it enough!
Very cute with a great message!
A wonderful story about how we just need to take a deep breath when we get upset. A cute little story that every child should be able to understand. Would suggest to anyone who has a kid
