Now More Than Ever: Get Inspire(d)

In the last 10-15 years we have seen an increasing awareness and interest in our home environments, their design, and more creativity in all things “lifestyle” related. The last 18 months has only amplified that. When our lives were first turned upside down by Covid-19, we looked for ways to fill the days and lift our spirits. As we were faced with staying at home in order to stay safe, some threw themselves into their work, while others sought creative opportunities in their immediate surroundings. We’re seeing that the spark of creativity ignited by the pandemic is here to stay, with people continuing to seek simple, affordable, and authentic creative outlets.

Now, more than ever, Inspire can provide wonderful ideas to create great spaces, to be resourceful with what we have, and to be creative in everything we do.

Whether you’re just discovering your creative talents or seeking new ways to express yourself, Inspire is chockful of ideas to help you connect with the beauty of your surroundings, bringing you closer to your children, family and friends, and community. From a multitude of art projects, recipes, kid-friendly crafts and games, and interior design tips to unique input on gifting, gardening, dressing, entertaining, and more, Inspire shares the joy and excitement of living an artful and creative life, guiding readers to do the same. Inspire makes the perfect gift too, as it touches on such a wide range of topics; There is something for everyone.

I’m thrilled that INSPIRE, as part of Front Matter Press’s publishing program, now has a distributor (Fitzhenry and Whiteside), who is getting the book out to bricks-and-mortar bookstores across Canada, and it’s available on Bookmanager for any bookstore to easily order it in, if a customer requests it.

Check out Shop Local to find a bookstore near you and support local businesses.

I’ve never lost my love of physical books; it’s wonderful to hold one in your hands, and also to gift to others.
