About Me

Hi --

I'm Alex (only my great-grandmother really called me Alexandra) and I have always considered myself a 'City Girl'...as much as one can be living in a prairie province. Growing up I imagined my life living in a big city like NYC or Montreal working in the fashion industry.

Two years ago I started dating a fantastic guy who turned out to be a farmer. Life took a few fun turns and it looks like I will be a City girl living in a country world in a short period of time. 

This is my place where I talk about my transition from my city life to country life.  I know there will be some bumps along the way, a lot of learning and adjusting but I’m ready for this exciting adventure called Life.

In addition to talking about my city/country life, I will also be posting about my own jewellery design and lia sophia that I also sell. I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I am!  If there is any jewellery that you are interested in, just drop me a line in the Contact Me page - I'll get in touch with you as soon as I can.

And if you still want to know more about me...
