My name is Erin and I am a prolific crocheter! I create all sorts of fantastic creatures, from cute to creepy. By day, I am a prep cook, but by night, I am a creator! I even crocheted centerpieces for my wedding in 2023. I have been married to my husband Jay since May 2023, and we have three cuddly cats.

Kirsten Atkins is not just a professional seamstress but an incredibly talented and imaginative designer.   It’s easy to see why, her grandfather was a Master Tailor and she quickly picked up the interest at the age of six.  

 Shortly after high school Kirsten opened her first sewing shop; after that she started her own label of KLA Originals.  Kirsten’s first love is costuming and that led her to making and renting costumes for 20 years.  Prior to  settling in  Kamloops Kirsten spent 8years living  in the Yukon Klondike  studying  the clothing styles of the late 1800’s  and working with numerous theater companies and organizations such as parks Canada in the reconstructions of period costume.

With this experience today she has designed many different beautiful body shaping corsets and  her love of colour has led her to the design and production of many different styles of award winning up cycled sweater jackets and dresses.

Kirsten currently works out of her home and attends many Art and Music Festivals in the summertime.  Watch for a schedule and  see more of her work on her  Facebook page: KLA Originals or her website: klaoriginals.com

"Our metaphysical shop is inspired by nature, the powerful forces of human intuition and the pursuit of a greater connection to the divine. This is a safe place and a playground for the exploration of the self, our planet and the deep conscious connection between all aspects of the universe. We are students of the collective on a fools journey and would love for you to come and join us in our exploration of what is above and below!"
