Storybook and handmade keepsakes
A place to walk through the seasons together.
Where Maple Prairie Began
Paisley’s Wish—A Journey Through the Seasons—is the story that first shaped Maple Prairie.
A tale of noticing and memory, where love and connection create quiet magic between Paisley, her Grandma Rose, and the prairie they share.
From that story, a world of keepsakes is unfolding.
Paisley’s Wish—A Journey Through the Seasons
The story began as a wish, and is slowly finding its way into the world, carried here, and wherever books are loved.
Keepsakes
Available soon.
A collection of handmade keepsakes is slowly taking shape and will release in their own season.
A story in every season
Maple Prairie is shaped by the passing of seasons and a quiet way of noticing.
It lives in everyday life—in gentle pauses, where time stretches without urgency.
There is only the simple beauty of being present with what is, where meaning gathers in layers and settles within.
This is a place to return to.
A place to call home.
A little about the author & maker
April Thompson is a writer, maker, founder of Maple Prairie, and a mother who believes the smallest moments often hold the most meaning.
Paisley’s Wish was written slowly, alongside seasons of changing, children growing, and the quiet noticing of everyday life.
Maple Prairie is her way of holding those moments—stories and keepsakes, created as a home for life as it unfolds, season by season.
