ABOUT
the shop
The Witch's Cottage is a boutique shop where all your whimsical, nature, healing & magical needs can be found. The shop came into realization in the Autumn of 2023, after years of creating and vending at Markets (under Sheena’s product name, Forest Spirit Creations, since 2013). 85% of the Shop’s products are created by Sheena. She believes in the concept of healing with the powerful plants, animals and stones around us. Whether you are treating an ailment with one of her salves or tinctures, grounding your spirit with a jewelry item, hat or décor piece, or inviting positive intentions with a magic item, you will find wellness, beauty and balance in all that the shop has to offer.
the healing
We offer herbal tinctures, salves, lotions and balms for a wide variety of ailments. Whenever possible Sheena & her family Wildcraft ingredients like nettle and St. John's Wort, or grow medicinal plants on the one acre which has the shop and family home. Other ingredients are organic and ethically sourced, for the sake of our personal health and our planet’s. Every ingredient in our medicine is natural and carefully selected for its powers. We make small batches to avoid the need for preservatives, so our bodies take in only what they need. We also offer seeds and dry herbs for you to grow or create your own remedies.
the adornment
Most of the home and body adornments are created with and inspired by the incredible nature around us on Vancouver Island. As a family we explore local parks, forests and beaches, where we find beauty in otherwise discarded leaves, insects, bones, shells and more. Sheena also repurposes discarded materials like boot rubber, leather scraps and broken jewelry, to give it a new life and cut down on waste and consumption. Never short on new ideas, Sheena will have something different for you to see nearly every time you visit.
the children
Sheena also creates Whimsical Children's items, inspired by her own dreams as a child. She is now able to bring these creations to life for the next generation of magical children. Her own children weigh in on the designs and get to be the lucky samplers of these one-of-a-kind toys.
the treasures
In addition to being a creator, Sheena is a treasure hunter. She finds vintage items which are not being fully appreciated for their value or beauty, and often cleans, restores or enhances them to give them a second life.
the magic
The items Sheena creates for the Witchy or magic folk help bring new life to your home or alter, as they are each handcrafted with positive intentions, magic and love. Every item carries a connection with a particular plant or animal, which will enliven your spirit and guide you on your journey. Feel the magic resonating in these pieces and find your own positive energy through them. You’ll even find a selection of magic books and tarot cards on offer.
