Marianne Klassen is hosting a soap-making workshop for four people. The Workshop will be held at her home in Port Rowan and can take 4-5 hours. Each participant will make their own batch of cold-process soap with 100% natural ingredients. Participants can customize their batch by picking out their own essential oil and colour. Everyone will then take home their batch, which should be 12 bars.
Let me introduce you to Estrella. She is a classic hobo-style bag that will stay in style indefinitely, and is a truly local piece.
The exterior of this bag is leather, more specifically a Norfolk County Deer Hide, procured by Robert Konrad’s local hunt group. Robert then had this piece tanned to this stunning spicy mustard colour.
This bag has extensive exterior top stitching and a beautiful interior ( the background fabric) that includes a zip pocket, a key fob clip, and a slip pocket. Why stop there…Penny included a wristlet strap with two removable pouches, which is great to add your keys to, or use separately when you are just running errands. It was designed and sewn right across the road from the Ark by Penny Hutcheson of Sewly 4 You.
Never overpack again, yes, less is more! Everyone needs a bag like this! This is the Brinley. The exterior of this bag is 100% leather and is made from a lamb hide. The bag is so functional, without giving up any style at all. This Brinley has a large front zip pocket that will hold a large phone and a couple of passports. The inside has a zip pocket, four credit card slots, and a slip pocket for bills.
Use the totally adjustable web strap. You can wear the bag “ sling style” in front of you for total hands-free use, or adjust it to make it a comfortable crossbody. Now, for night, or a more dressy time of your day, flip over the bag to show off the quilted, studded side. Change the strap to the silver chain strap, and you have a dressy crossbody.
But you are not done….double the strap up and you have a statement piece shoulder bag. This bag is so trip-worthy! Penny at Sewly 4 You is happy to support Global Shore Opportunities.

Here at Kingsbury Creek Farm, our goal is to provide you and your friends with a dinner experience that connects you to where your food was planted, nurtured, and harvested. Almost everything on the menu that will be prepared and shared with your party will come from our land.
Your dinner experience will be at our farm between Long Point and Port Burwell. The menu will be shared a few weeks before the event, and you will be served 1-2 appetizers, and have your choice of two salads, two mains, and two desserts. Beverages from local breweries and wineries will be an option, as well as non-alcoholic beverages, including coffee and tea with dessert. The menu will be based on local, seasonal produce and locally sourced meats. If you have any allergies or sensitivities, please let us know about them.
This experience is offered for a party of 4 to 10 and can be used between August and October 2025. Bring your friends and family for a dinner that will not disappoint and support a wonderful cause.
With love,
James & Angela Kingsbury and family.
P.S. If you like, you can connect with us after the auction, and we will provide photos of the preparation of land, planting of the seeds and raising of the animals that will all contribute to your dinner. Get connected, get involved and enjoy the slow food movement.
