It’s hard to believe, but the end of summer is just around the corner.  With that in mind, I’m holding a sale in my Etsy shop to make way for new fall and holiday products!  I’ve dedicated a section in my shop to these items, you can find it in the menu bar down the left side of my shop or go here.

There may be more items added as I clear out space, but for the time being the items above are the only sale items.

Clockwise from top left: 
Little Leather Journal in black reclaimed leather with vintage button, Mini Journal in two-tone yellow, Screenprinted Linen Pouch with thistles in aqua blue, Screenprinted Linen Tea Towel with thistles in aqua blue, Screenprinted Linen Pouch with queen anne’s lace in burgundy.

Back to School Stationery

Day 326/365DSC_0702_fotorIt’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.

Fun at Graven Feather!

Day 325/365DSC_0702In just over 2 weeks I’ll be at Graven Feather teaching the beautiful and surprisingly fun Arrow Stitch!  It’s a hands on workshop where everyone will leave with a finished, hard cover journal they made!

What: Hard Cover Arrow Stitch Journal Workshop
When: Sunday September 13, 2015  1pm – 4pm
Where: Graven Feather, 906 Queen St. West (beside Trinity Bellwoods Park)

For more information and to register, go here.

New in the Shop!

Day 324/365DSC_0726I’m so excited to say that there are a couple of new Canadiana Journals in the shop, one of them, pictured above, with RED edging!!  Of course, they are coptic stitched, for flexibility and ease of writing or sketching.DSC_0714While the red journal showcases Quebec maps on the cover, the book pictured above features The Great Lakes.  Complete with rustic brown edging, which reminds me of old school provincial park rangers, of course.

Interesting fact: you can find these books in the Travel Journals section of my online shop, as opposed to the Hard Cover Journals section.  Just go here to see!

Summer Brights

Day 319/365P90212600_fotorI recently spent some time in my mother’s garden, which is an amazing space.  I was mesmerized by her zinnias; so bright, cheery and colourful!  While I didn’t snap a picture, preferring to just enjoy the moment, it stuck with me and inspired this small collection of my brightest red items!  What flowers are brightest in your garden?

Clockwise from top left:

Painted Quick Notes notebook in two-tone red, Elegant Quick Notes in red floral, Starburst Book Ornament, No-Nonsense Quick Notes notebook in burgundy, Square Ex Libris Bookplates handprinted in red, Starburst Journal in Florentine Red, Rectangle Ex Libris Bookplates handprinted in red.
