Day 356/365
In the studio today, it’s a day of rest before another busy day tomorrow! I’m so honoured to be one of the selected Etsy vendors at the sold-out book launch tour of Elizabeth Gilbert’s newest book!! I loved Eat, Pray, Love and cannot wait to sink my teeth into her next piece!
Day 355/365
Today’s the day! I’ll be at the show from 10am – 6pm, my booth is by the Elizabeth Street entrance, see you there!

Day 350/365
The week or two leading up to a favourite show is a heady mix of excitement, panic, anticipation and bliss. At least for me it is.
I hope you’ll join me next Saturday, September 26 at the MaRS Building here in Toronto, to stop by and say Hello and check out all the amazing things being made, by hand, right here in the city.
Check out the facebook event page for details, here.
Day 349/365
This past week I’ve been in full swing preparing for Etsy: Made in Canada, Toronto edition at the MaRS building.
I’ve been working hard at re-designing some of my books and I can’t wait to share the new and improved Adventure Journal with you at the show!
This is a small sampling of what many Adventure Journals looks like! These guys aren’t quite done yet, but almost there. I love how each is a bit different from the maps on the covers to the scuffs and nicks in the reclaimed leather closures. These are my favourite journals!!
Day 348/365
Some Autumn-inspired items to ease the transition to cooler weather, the changing colour of leaves and days spent cozy with your journal.
Clockwise from top left:
Starburst Journal in dapper grey tweed, Screenprinted Linen Zipper Pouch with burgundy Queen Anne’s lace, Fancy Coptic Journal in green and brown Florentine, Medium Fancy Coptic Journal in cream and brown, Secret Belgian Journal in brown Florentine, Mini Book Necklace, Medium Fancy Coptic Journal in deep brown.
Day 347/365
In just over 1 week it’s Etsy: Made in Canada!! I’m so excited to be a part of the fun, and there are some extra surprises planned this year!! (Stay tuned for details over the next week!!)
In the meantime, check out the vendor lookbook and do some pre-show shopping! And, if you’re an early bird, get in line early to be one of the first 100 visitors to get a swag bag packed with goodies, for FREE!!! (again, early bird gets the worm!)
For more info and details, check out the Toronto Etsy Street Team site here.
Day 346/365
Please welcome some new handbound beauties into my Etsy shop: Hand Dyed Fancy Coptic Journals! I think of these two books as being part of the same series because the covers are more sparsely dyed than some of the other hand dyed books. I didn’t put a leather closure on either of them for that exact reason: I didn’t want any hardware to interfere with the composition on the front.
