Seconds & Supplies Maker Market

Mark your calendars for this Saturday, June 15! We're joining forces with a bunch of amazing local designers to bring you some pieces from our lines as well crafty and creative supplies.

I'll be bringing some lovely jewels from season's past at the best ever prices! I'll also be going against my hoarding tendencies and de-stashing some of my jewellery findings and other craft supplies. There will be lots of fun stuff that you can put to good use in your own creative endeavours!
The event will be one day only at Artscape Youngplace on Shaw Street here in Toronto. Here's a list of some of the participants!

See you there!!

Desert Day 1

Hi everyone! Oops I've been a little lax on the blogging! Summertime always seems to get in the way of any additional screen time! Today I am hobbled by a foot injury and basically bound to a reclined position so what better time to catch up on a little blogging! I have been meaning to post the photos from the Rome leg of my Italy trip from last year, but A) somehow those photos will not load each time I try and B) It seems so long ago! I'll figure it out one of these days.

In the meantime here are some pics from my trip to Palm Springs and Palm Desert this Spring. 
My friends K and A asked me to join them on their trip and I jumped on it immediately. It was late-Winter and I was in the middle of the semi-annual One of a Kind Show craze, so I went without knowing a thing about the area or what we would be doing on this trip. Sometimes I think knowing nothing is the best way to visit a place.
K and I have known each other since the 8th grade but we have never taken a trip together so this was a nice treat.
As soon as I arrived, I got a chance to check out the Parker Palm Springs. If you know me, you know I love a good vintage find, mid-century modern style and loads of colour, so this place was just my kind of scene.
I mean, look at this giant owl macramé hanging!
I felt right at home.
Coming from a lingering Toronto Winter, it was so invigorating to feel the warm California sun and catch the sight and scent of vibrant flowers.
 Got us some delicious cocktails and tacos at poolside immediately!
 Helps to have a grown up version of a lemonade stand!

 I need one of these swinging wicker chairs at home.
Within moments of arriving in Palm Springs, I knew I would enjoy this trip! Every corner was picturesque and chilled out and it was just what I needed! More photos are to come from the rest of our trip. Off to bed to rest my foot for the night and catch some quality zzz's.

Countdown

There's just over a month to get your Christmas shopping done. Where did November go? How sweet and simple are these recycled wooden trees from Wood & Wool Stool?

S.'s wedding attire

I wish I had better photos, but here are some shots of S. in the divine wedding gown that she designed and created. I love how the jewellery looked with the complete ensemble. And check out those killer shoes!
Here are the P. sisters enjoying the celebrations.
Sorry I didn't post these last week along with the other pics from the wedding, but I wanted to check with the bride first!

See this post for pictures of the wedding scene and this one for pics of the jewellery.

I am literally going to the camera shop right now to look for a new camera.

Visit at Mjölk

Last weekend I finally got to visit Mjölk in the Junction. What an expertly curated selection of wares in this beautiful store... My Sister, our friend G. and I were all drooling over just about every single thing in the shop. Owners John and Juli have filled their shop with fantastic clean-lined design from Scandinavia and Japan. You'll find furniture, house wares, accessories, children's clothing, toys and so much more.
My Sister is hoping this couch will fit in her space.
Love these leather cases from Kenton Sorenson for iPads, iPhones and passports and how they tan naturally.
How adorable are these Ducks with duckling by Hans Bolling?
Really enjoy the tactile quality of these wooden accessories.
Speaking of tactile, the smooth, curved surfaces of these Naoto Fukasawa chairs are divine. I think the arm chairs are my favourite things in the store. Must save my pennies for these. My current dining chairs from now defunct Caban have definitely seen better days.
Visit the shop! Read their stellar blog! John and Juli are lovely and really know their stuff.
