Let me introduce myself: I'm Janet Davis, an artist and entrepreneur living and working on the North side of Bonavista Bay, on the island of Newfoundland in Eastern Canada. There are many challenges to running a business here in my small rural hometown, and there are many wonderful benefits too. This blog is where I share some of those challenges and triumphs, and share what it's like to live in this part of the world.
I am back in the studio a day early after taking some time off for Thanksgiving weekend. I had a lovely 2 days of doing yard-work and a big feed of turkey with our Greenspond friends. I’m thankful for all I have.
This week in the studio, I’m packaging up a couple of orders that have been drying on the rack all weekend, putting together a display of Christmas themed items, and tidying up after a mat hooking workshop that went ahead on Saturday. I’ll be here all week working on new projects, editioning The View from Shallop Cove, and hoping to see lots of visitors!
The View from Shallop Cove hung side by side with Sharon LeRiche’s Wild Iris’ on the Coast tapestry in a new exhibit at the Craft Council Gallery celebrating 50 years of the Craft Council of Newfoundland & Labrador. I’ve been a member for 32 years!
Norton’s Cove Studio is open: 10-6 Wednesday to Sunday!
Duke and I are excited to be registered for this event again this year- this is the only Craft Fair that Norton’s Cove Studio attends. Will I see you there?
Save the Date:
Norton’s Cove Studio’s Annual Christmas Party & Sale happens on Friday, December 2nd, starting at 7pm!
All sorts of treats to start the festive season: prizes, music, food & drink, and 25% off everything in the shop!

I'd love for you to help spread the word about what's happening at Norton's Cove:
I am an artist and entrepreneur from a little town on the northeastern coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
I am proud of my heritage of hardworking people and I believe that we deserve good food, music, and art. I love to show off my beautiful and sophisticated little part of the island of Newfoundland.
