Welcome to my little corner of ! ✨

Every piece here is thoughtfully made with care, inspired by the beauty of our gorgeous county and handcrafted in Elora, Ontario. From ash wood salvaged locally to thoughtful, sustainable craftsmanship, my work is a reflection of the animals, landscapes, textures, and stories that make this stunning place home.

If you’re visiting this weekend, stop by Booth -24 to explore and celebrate the creativity of Canadian makers! 🍁

One of the most special parts of what I do is hearing the stories of how my work has become part of your lives. 🍃✨

Today, I met someone who purchased one of my earliest batches of confetti, and it’s still being used and loved.

Yesterday, a gorgeous story of the a woodland napkin ring set becoming a treasured gift after a surprise picnic.

Then there are the many spoon stories—treasured gifts, daily rituals, moments of connection. And, hearing from left-handed folks who finally feel seen with a spoon made just for them! Knowing that these pieces continue to bring joy, function, and meaning long after they leave my hands is the greatest reward.

Thank you for sharing your stories with me, whether at shows, online, or in person. It means the world. 💚💚💚

I was honoured to be there in person as an partner and meet so many local woodworkers, builders, and all-around mindful small businesses proudly supporting sustainably sourced, local lumber.

Big shoutout to fellow exhibitors

Can’t thank and enough for all the hard-work behind the scenes and at the show. You’re support for small businesses is absolutely incredible! Your dedication and effort make all the difference.

Grateful for this amazing community of makers, builders, and supporters.

Our Story

Michelle duQuesnay-Jones is the artist, designer, and maker behind Forest + Fauna.

From the Artist:

I love beautiful things and I love making. If my hands are busy, my mind full of creativity, I am the happiest self I can be.

I am in-love with previously loved items and well-worn, loved, wood. I have long collected items that were destined for the landfill, but that look to me like they are full of a long story.
