The end of the day

DSC_0709

Just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who came out and supported Sprouts Press at the One of a Kind Show last week.  It was fantastic to meet so many of you and put faces to the names I’ve seen online.  I’m still unpacking and organizing my studio, so I’ll put together something a bit more in depth soon.  For now, a simple Thank You is in order.

Some wonderful things have come out of the show, so I’ll keep you up to date as they unfold.  In the meantime, I think spring might be just around the corner . . .

Around the Corner

If you’ve been following my (rather sparse) posts lately, you already know that I’m an exhibitor in this year’s One of a Kind Show and Sale.  I’m pretty excited about this, it’s the largest craft & artisan show I’ve ever participated in, and it’s right here in Toronto!  As well as my enthusiasm I’m also a bit nervous, especially in the last minute tasks leading up to the official opening.  In reality though, I’m pretty well on schedule and organized.

This is pretty good for me.

No last-minute rushing around frantically.  No middle-of-the-night realizations that I forgot to, gasp, order business cards or bring a chair or something like that.  Nope, I’m organized and on schedule.  That is, until I got my eureka idea for the perfect series of books to bind, last minute of course!

My creative side took charge and the schedule changed!  I was no longer on schedule.  But now as I finish up these new additions, I have a new plan, and I’ll leave you with some photos of what you can expect to see at my booth (K20G in the Etsy section).DSC_0686

Lots of new designs and variations on some classic bindings.DSC_0686 - Version 2

I’m pleased with how everything has turned out and how the collection as a whole feels connected through materials, colour and transition.DSC_0653

I drew on the changing of seasons for inspiration; winter to spring, bleak to bright, cozy to light, old to new.DSC_0664

I think the growth of this transition is visible across the table, and I couldn’t be more delighted!DSC_0691

If you plan to attend the show and don’t have tickets, click here to get a discounted ticket! I’ll be in the Etsy section at booth K20G.  The show runs from March 26 – 30 and if you have any further questions, please visit the show website here.

Hope to see you there!

One of a Kind

If you follow my blog, you may remember that I mentioned being a participant in this year’s One of a Kind Spring Show & Sale.  Well, the show is just around the corner so I figured it would be fun to host a contest.  One lucky person will win a pair of free tickets!! That sounds like fun, right?
