Orillia Kay Key Deer sips her drink.

Orillia Kay, a Key Deer, was born on the most beautiful salt water beach on the most tranquil island of all the Florida Keys.  But love, as it has a way of moving us, coaxed her northward to Algonquin where she settled and blossomed.  

It was a far different climate from her home, and all the other deer were at least double her size. She could have hunkered down in hibernation, but Orillia was a born sprite with a twinkle in her eye and a way of finding the fun in everything.  The move seemed only to make her more outgoing, more empathetic, and more inclusive.  If there was a community welcome wagon, she was it.  If a party was to be thrown, she’d mastermind an absolute blowout.  If there was a game on the tv, she’d have buckets of tasty snacks prepared and her hooves up on the davenport with the rest of the gang.  

A few years back, Orillia Kay was craving sunshiny days, where the thermometer never dipped below a balmy 75 - even in January.  So, she and her fella decided to spend a few months of each year down on Big Pine Key, beachfront.  There, they built a little palapa that quickly became the island’s busiest watering hole.  Evenings, the couple happily entertain over quiet dinners followed by a game of Michigan rummy or bridge.  That is, when they aren’t hosting rollicking evenings replete with live band, margaritas, and salsa clear into the morning.

We fell in love with our beautiful goldenrod shade, 90# envelope. According to the ‘World’s Favourite Colour’ study, people associate the feeling of joy with this colour. Also, this is the very shade that enrobes our trusty #2. As all of our images are hand drawn in pencil, we thought it appropriate to give a nod of appreciation.
