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).

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!!
To visit the show website, go here.
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!
Yesterday was my last bookbinding workshop for 2015! I’m so happy with the response these classes have received, and how eager people in learning to make their own handbound books!!With that in mind, I’m pleased to announce that there are some new workshops for 2016! I’ve kept everyone’s favourites and added a couple of new classes (and a new location!) to the roster. While you don’t have to have any prior bookbinding experience to take my classes, they are great chance to dust off your bookbinding skills and get a refresher in technique.

It’s the One of a Kind Show! This year, the show runs from November 26 till December 6, 2015 at the Enercare Centre (formerly the Direct Energy Centre) on the CNE grounds. 
There are so many awesome, amazing makers and artisans at this show, it’s a great chance to start your holiday shopping and support local, handmade businesses while you’re at it! (That means no mall!! Woohoo!!)
