Rachel Tallman lives in the Niagara region of Ontario, right between Toronto and Buffalo, and has been paper crafting for about 15 years. She built a sequin mix subscription business that grew quickly, landing collaborations with designers and producing a holiday advent calendar that sold out every year, before the Canada Post strike and US tariffs forced her to make an extremely hard call earlier this spring.
