There is no denying it, sweater weather is here! The leaves are falling and I have fall decore on my mind! Check out these adorable pumpkins with thoughtful touches like cinnamon 'stems' with cloves placed at the base. They add charm and ambiance to your spaces.

🌎 Teacher's Change the World 🌎

I love finding creative and unique ways to show teachers the appreciation they so deserve!! This custom Window Cling design is an amazing suncatcher that will cast rays of gorgeous rainbows for years to come! All order's come with a matching card and packaged in a gift bag and ready to gift!

While I think teachers deserve copious amounts of wine, I find that is a hit or miss gift ;) And from what I hear teachers often don't need another mug or glass, so why not choose a re-positional window cling to bring them joy and show your thanks!

Behind the scenes at Fire Lotus is a flurry of glitter, lists of to do's, and inventories of supplies.

We have so many awesome ideas to share with you over the next few weeks but at the heart of those ideas is the reason Fire Lotus was created. We want to provide quality handmade goodies for you and your loved one's, that can share through out the years.

I adore making these 'Glitterless Glitter Ornaments'. The process to make them leaves all the glitter inside and so it sounds like an oxymoron but you get all the shine with none of the pesky 'glitter cooties' everywhere. New Baby, First year as Mr & Mrs, or Mrs & Mrs, or Mr & Mr, New House, Teacher Gift.

A rainbow of options for the vinyl and the glitter means endless possibilites for your custom order. The bulbs themselves are shaterproof acrylic, and will stand the test of time without the worry and fuss of glass.

DM today to talk about the moment you would like to memorialize with this years ornaments.

People can get defensive when they hear the word privilege, I used to be one of them. I don't want to take today to make it about my white experience and viewpoint, but I do think using my voice to help other people deconstruct their privilege is how I can use my voice for change. A turning point for me was realizing that having privilege didn't mean that I didn't deserve the things I had worked hard for, it meant I was lucky. Lucky to not suffer through and I did nothing more to deserve escaping that horror than be born with white skin. It was my privilege to only have to learn about racism and not experience it.

Ms Phyllis Webstad, the woman behind 🧡Orange Shirt Day, is only 54 years old today. Proof that these horrors are not as long in our past as we like to believe, or that we were taught. This past year has truly brought a glaring light to damages done in these concentration camps. Let's be honest about what they were, they weren't schools, they were the text book definition of a concentration camp. That isn't hyperbole. Indigenous children were prisoners confined to a facility, no freedom to come and go, inadequate resources, and a persecuted minority. I do not want to co-opt terms from other atrocities, this definition applies even though we normally associated that title with WW2. To the Indigenous community that is what Residential Schools were, and they had just as poor a chance of returning home as Canadian soldiers did returning home from war. Learn more

demands we acknowledge those truths. Reconciliation demands we don't downplay the suffering and reality people who lived through those atrocities. Reconciliation demands we accept responsibility to right the wrongs of a system we participate in today. True justice was never provided to families who lost their children, true justice would provide appropriate means to help heal and move on from the victimization of such crimes.
