This is a juried show, with tough competition, so expect to be blown away! Take a look at the vendor LookBook here.

Some tips for visiting the show:

–Want to try your hand at making something from scratch? Register for a free workshop here and learn how it’s done!

If you want to stop by my booth and say Hello! I’ll be over by the Elizabeth Street entrance, the opposite end to the main entrance off University. Hope to see you there!

The Studio on a Sunday

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!!

Back to School Stationery

Posted on August 29, 2015 by sproutspress

Day 326/365It’s nearly that time of year; back to school! I have to admit that my favourite part of going back to school was stationery shopping. I think, once, I was even excited to get a geometry set. I love how all the components fit into the neat little tin. I was never very good at geometry, but I did love that set!

Here’s a collection of more book-themed back to school items that I’d be pretty pumped about, if I were going back to school.

Clockwise starting at the top left:

Advanced Quick Notes notebooks, Indigo Journal, Elegant Quick Notes notebooks. Paper Moon Book Earrings in brown Florentine, Mini Book Necklaces in a variety of colours, Screenprinted Zipper Pouch in brown linen with burgundy Queen Anne’s Lace.
