Illustrated by Kat Frick Miller
If I had an old house on the East Coast I would fall in love at first sight.
It would grab me by the heart, and not let go.
With introspection and deep appreciation for the East Coast, this inspirational gift book shares a dream, in words and images, of falling in love with an old house and breathing new life into it. Exploring, with lyrical prose, everything from an old house’s foundation to its layers of antique wallpaper to its decades-old gardens bursting with wildflowers, this lyrical book is a love letter to a vanishing way of life. Fully illustrated with gentle watercolours from celebrated local artist Kat Frick Miller, If I Had an Old House on the East Coast also includes practical tips for the old-home-owner, from how to clear your home of ghosts to instructions for making rosehip jelly and maple syrup.
Kat Frick Miller is an artist and freelance illustrator based in Nova Scotia. Kat's imagery is cultivated through historical and first-hand research into the cultural history of a region. She collects reference material, primarily firsthand, sometimes drawing on historical documents available through research facilities.

Let customers speak for us
I’m enjoying not blowing out my candles and having wax all over my table. The sniffer is so slim and modern. I love it.
Jillian Jackson's whimsical, witty and colourful seed cards always put a smile on the faces of those to whom I gift them. Not only are they whimsical, witty and colourful...they are plantable to boot!! Yes thy are plantable! A card that becomes a plant. How cool is that!!
Beautiful cards! Perfect for wedding favours for family visiting from other parts of Canada
I was on vacation and missing my cat back at home. I stopped in and picked the little kitty that resembles my beloved cat at home. Talk about a wonderful keepsake. When I got home my cat gave it a sniff and a quick bath. It's now proudly sitting on my shelf.
I love everything about this print - the ordinary subject made beautiful, the colour choices, and the common job of giving flowers a drink. Thank you for this joyful interpretation of ordinary life.
The prints are perfect. I can’t wait to hang them in my space.
Inkwell can be counted on to have unique and carefully curated cards, gifts, and tons of local artwork available. And 100% locally owned and operated.
They are the best emotional support chickens!
