About Us
“Fiber work is my way of coping with daily stress and anxiety; whereas jewelry making is my way of releasing it.” ~ Leilani
BB3: Leilani Handmade (formally known as heavenly flower/fleur de paradis) is a fiber & jewelry studio owned & operated by Leilani Cleveland Deveau. Inspired by her family, the name of the studio is derived from her daughters (AKA 3 gems/3 bébés), fiber interests (baa baa black sheep, 3 ply wool) & the overall superstition that things (good or bad) come in 3’s.
Born and bred in Nova Scotia, her home studio is currently located in the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia. The studio is currently not open to the public, but meetup for delivery of your order in the Centreville/Kentville/New Minas or Canning/Wolfville area is available.
Leilani started making/selling jewelry over 17 years ago, a pursuit started as an outlet for expression and healing from a stressful job situation. Now as a mom the jewelry has evolved into wearable keepsakes. The progression into working with fiber started in 2011 when the family began attending Wool Shows and Fiber festivals throughout New England. Turning raw, unprocessed fleece into beautifully dyed fibers for felting and spinning into yarn has become a daily ritual, and yarn for sale is listed at the wholesale price for all to purchase.
The items for sale on this site were designed to be affordable to everyone, despite income bracket or circumstance. The goal is to share the creativity, to have an outlet for expression, and not to monitor profit margins. Handmade work is a labour of love and it would be impossible to recoup all costs involved in bringing these products into fruition. Most items here are available to giveaway for grassroots fundraisers and payment is accepted in many forms including barter (trade). Simply contact for more info.
Please check out the RECOMMENDED POSTS section of the blog to learn more about the products I develop, and my handmade philosophy.
Leilani loves to hear from others in the handmade/art community & as well as those looking for items for consignment, wholesale or group events. Whatever the reason, never hesitate to drop her a line.
bb3 exists online only, but if you have suggestions as to where you would like to see these products, don’t hesitate to pass it along.
