The week before a show

Day 350/365zqLGEbUHdZfUkQqyWeA1s5JHGo1cEQxpxNVhd6tyfO8The 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.

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!

Etsy Made in Canada: Toronto Vendor LookBook!

Day 322/365boKM9ZSzpjFKcQdKjOyUezHEhyaYV4xK_4a-vIwV7PM

As I mentioned last week, I’m so pleased to announce that I’m a part of the Etsy Made in Canada: Toronto show at the MaRS building!!

Curious to see what type of vendors will be there?  No worries, the hard-working and super talented folks leading the Toronto Etsy Street Team have put together a look book of all the vendors!  Amazing, right?!  View it here.

For information about the show, see the Toronto Etsy Street Team’s website here.

New in the Shop

Day 318/365DSC_0702Introducing the newest addition to the Indigo Journal series!  I’ve tried something a little different with this cover, opting for a more organic colour block effect.  I love how it turned out!!

As always, the covers are hand-dyed by yours truly, and the book is also handbound by me.  I love this series of journals, they’re the perfect size to throw in a daybag and take with you, and pretty enough that whatever you put on the pages will feel special!

For details and more photos, go here.

See you at the Brickworks!

Day 306/365

Join me today at the Evergreen Brickworks for the amazing Etsy Market!  I’ll be there from 10am – 3pm with a selection of my products (as pictured below).

Pro tip: It’s also the sunday edition of the Brickworks farmers market; a more laid-back version of the busy saturday market, where you can get brunch!!DSC_0684_fotorFor more information about the show, go here.
