Potion Vault
Every potion begins as a bottle — vintage, antique, or unusually shaped — chosen for the story it might one day hold. This is your chance to claim one before it's finished.
How it works
Step 1 — Explore the Vault
Browse my collection of antique, vintage and unusual bottles paired with photos, measurements, price ranges, and early concept notes.
Step 2 — Reserve a Bottle
If one (or more) speaks to you, send me a DM on Instagram or submit the form on that specific bottle's page itself — no payment or commitment required. Your name will then be added to the waitlist for that piece.
Step 3 — Follow the Transformation
Watch behind-the-scenes progress in my Instagram Stories as each bottle is transformed into a one-of-a-kind art piece.
Step 4 — Claim Your Art
When the piece is finished, I’ll contact the first person on the waitlist with the option to purchase. If you pass, the opportunity moves to the next collector in line.

FAQ
How do I reserve a potion?
If a bottle speaks to you, simply reach out via Instagram DM or send me an email through my contact page. I’ll add your name to the waitlist for that specific piece and keep you updated on its transformation.
Do I need to put down a deposit?
No deposit is required. Reserving a potion just secures your place in line. When your piece is complete, you’ll have the first opportunity to claim it — if you decide to pass, it will move on to the next collector waiting.
When will I get my reserved piece?
Since each potion is handcrafted and uniquely designed for its bottle, timelines vary. When I open a new Vault “level” (a batch of bottles for reservation), I aim to complete those within 1–2 months.
If you’re hoping for something by a specific date, feel free to reach out and we can discuss options.
Where do you get your bottles from?
All of my bottles — and many of the materials I use — have been intentionally collected over the past few years from a variety of sources. Some come as donations from friends, family, and local businesses here in Ottawa; others are thrifted treasures I’ve discovered during my travels.
This is a point of sustainability that’s very important to me: I don’t buy new bottles. Every piece is upcycled and given a second (magical) life, ensuring that each potion not only tells a story but also carries a history of its own.
What are the Vault “levels” referring to on Instagram?
The Potion Vault is revealed in batches, or “levels.” Each level represents a newly uncovered "chamber of bottles", in other words... the latest bottles available for reservation. Once the items in a level are reserved and sold, they’re gone — no two bottles are ever repeated.
That said, the Vault is always shifting, and you can usually expect a new level to open in the near future, bringing fresh bottles and stranger finds deeper from the dark.
