Exworth & Sons

Yesterday I got a nice email from the designer of Exworth & Sons, a fashion line designed and manufactured in Toronto. They used some MoonRox pieces in their photo shoots for Spring/Summer 09 as well as in Fall 09. Shown with the Leopard Pencil Pleated Dress is the Starry Necklace! Currently their website showcases the S/S 09 line, but Fall will be added soon. I'm looking forward to seeing the new season's collection! Check it out here!

Here is a photo of the Starry Necklace up close! It's a show stopper!

If you'd like to shine in one yourself, send an email my way at info[at]moonrox[dot]ca.

One day left at the Mode Show

Tomorrow (August 11th) is the last day of the Fall/Winter Edition of the Mode Accessories Show. So far the Show has not been bad. I've picked up some new accounts which is exciting, and got a few re-orders from some. I'll tell you more about the new locations in the weeks ahead!

Send all the nice store owners that you know to the MoonRox BOOTH at 2208A at the Mode Show for our last day! It's a tiny booth as you can see, but it is rammed with goodies!

Lots of other Canadian designers are showing their work near the MoonRox booth. Here are a couple hilarious shots of Ange of Barbie's Basement Jewellery parading around decked in MoonRox (and a BBJ brooch) in the style of the show models that march the aisles holding a sign with the exhibitor's name and booth number covered head-to-toe in the vendor's wares. Our whole room of exhibitors howled!

I like...

I am really amazed by these chandeliers and other lighting fixtures by British Columbia based ReDesign Technologies. They are meticulously made with an item that we might see every day and give little thought to. I love that the simple wire paperclip has been given such importance and has become so beautiful!

Busy day after the long weekend

I spent the day organizing and getting more supplies to finish up the samples in preparation for the Mode Accessories Show coming up on the weekend. I had to make up for the time spent enjoying the long-awaited sun on this past long weekend. It seemed the Summer had finally graced us. I enjoyed a lovely Sangria Saturday with J. and A. and generally a nice weekend... Then it rained today! Good day for errands!

We all took turns taking ridiculous pictures with A.'s parasol. I'll save the ridiculous ones...

Sangria Recipe (It's good! I promise!)

- 1 bottle red or white wine

- 3/4 cup orange juice (Here, we like to substitute the brightest orange cocktail possible. Good options are Tampico, Fruite or Sunny Delight! Yes, really!)

- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice

- 1/2 cup dissolved sugar/simple syrup

- 1 fresh orange, sliced

- 1 fresh peach, diced

- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

- 1 fresh apple, diced

Pour all ingredients into a pitcher full of ice and enjoy!

Look at this cute planter that someone has constructed from the layers of posters on this street post. There were tonnes of posters plastered to the post as they just piled up during the CUPE strike which has happily come to an end. Anyhow, I've seen a few of these "planter boxes" at Queen and Spadina. Nice idea!
