New Items!
Good news: Craft Arts Market is re-stocked and ready for all you book-lovers, journal writers and sketchbook fiends!
If this isn’t your local handmade/hand crafted items shop, it’s totally worth a day trip to St.Catherines to check them out. Make sure to leave enough time for a fresh, vegan doughnut from their next door neighbour (seriously, don’t forget this part).

Makeologists
I’m a makeologist! It’s with a happy heart that I’m celebrating Sprouts Press acceptance into the Makeology show!
There will be more details closer to the event (like swag bag info for early birds!!) but I’m so thrilled I just had to share it now!!

The Studio on a Sunday
Today in the studio I’m working on some Mini Book Necklaces for a retailer. They’re tiny, functional, beautiful and inspirational. They are designed to keep your hopes and dreams close to your heart. And, of course, they’re made from reclaimed materials.
To read more about these little gems, and other book jewellery I make, check out a previous blog post here.
A February Challenge!
I know that I’ve shared a bit about myself here on the blog. But it’s just the basics, the expected ‘about me’ kind of information. This is why I’m pretty excited to share this next bit with you! 
For the entire month of February, I’ll be participating alongside my fellow Toronto Etsy Street Team members for a 29-day Instagram challenge! Each day is themed and a bit different from the one before, but combined they’ll bring together everything that is my little company. If you want to get a bigger picture of what my company is about and who I am (really), head over to Instagram and follow along here: @sproutspress.
Hope to see you there!
