The Studio on a Sunday (on a Monday)

Posted on June 6, 2016 by sproutspress

The last few days I’ve been working on swag for this year’s Toronto Etsy Street Team’s Midsummer Market!! If you’re one of the first 50 people through the door, you’ll get an awesome swag bag filled with goodies from local makers!

This year is a bit different, there’ll be an outside space AND an inside space, at the gorgeous Campbell House. I’ll be inside, keeping my paper goods safe from the elements, but be sure to stop by and check it all out!

Bonus Tip: The show is right by Osgoode Subway station, so convenient!!

Sprouts Press + Brika

Posted on April 6, 2016 by sproutspress

I’m so happy to announce that you can now find Sprouts Press products on Brika.com!! Woot!! I’ve been impressed with this site and it’s well-curated collection of handmade items for a while now. So naturally, I’m over the moon to be the featured maker this week!!

Part of this feature is an interview, a great Q & A to give you a bit more insight into what I do and why. Here’s a snippet:

“Carolyn Eady’s first job was at the public library, back when she was starting high school. She loved reading and writing before, but this constant exposure to books and the world of publications was new to her. She was blown away by the diversity of what a book could be, and loved every minute of it”.

So, today I’ve been working on a new batch of Adventure Journals, just for this month’s shows: Makeology and the Wayzgoose Book Arts Fair!! If you don’t know about these shows, just click the ‘Shows‘ tab along the top menu bar of my site to learn more.
