I had such a fab time at the spring markets last weekend! The weather was beautiful, the music at Square Community Market was fantastic and the company was even better. I got to catch up with some familiar faces, as well as met some awesome new folks. A big thank you to everyone who dropped… Continue reading Market Snapshot
I've been working on a new project over the last couple of weeks and it's taken much longer than I was anticipating. I've been holding off on working on anything else until this one was finished, but if I had known it would take WEEKS instead of days? Yeah...might have rethought that whole plan! At… Continue reading Cagey Critters – A New Shop!
Now that I've fulled recovered from the Home Show (sleep plus major cleaning/decluttering binge followed by dragging out my sewing machine to work on new curtains and pillows!), let's see what's coming up for the rest of March! The Square Community Market Facebook event page 196 Kingsway ~ the popup shop & future RIZE building… Continue reading Markets in March
At the BC Home + Garden Show, a photo by acageybee on Flickr.Wood panel prints are here! I've been hard at work making 3 sizes - the sweet 3x4s that look adorable tucked alongside your books on a shelf, the 6x6 square & a new bigger size - 8x10. I love the look of the… Continue reading At the BC Home + Garden Show
A few of the lovely vendors from Portobello West have banded together to create a little urban market at the BC Home + Garden Show taking place this week. This year the show moves back to BC Place Stadium, now that they have a new roof (that may or may not look like an upside… Continue reading BC Home + Garden Show
I've been working on a new painting over the last few weeks and finally have it varnished, framed and ready to go, just in time for the big event tomorrow night - the opening of a Bill Murray themed art show! The show is called "Bill You Murray Me?" and will be held at the… Continue reading Bill Murray Art Show
Valentine's Day is usually a pretty low key event around here. I'm not particularly romantic myself & the artifice of the holiday has always left a bad taste in my mouth. When I was a kid though, I remember spending hours picking out the perfect valentine cards for my boy crush and my best friends… Continue reading Valentine’s Day
New business cards, a photo by acageybee on Flickr. Picked up my new business cards from the printer today and am thrilled with the way they turned out. I'm always a little nervous when ordering things like this since I order such large quantities. It's a much better value to order 5000 business cards, but… Continue reading New business cards
Can you feel it? The sun is starting to shine a little brighter, the cold doesn't have quite as much bite as it did a few weeks ago and the odd green thing is starting to sprout. I know February is far too early to declare spring has sprung, but I feel like we're rounding… Continue reading Feels Like Spring
One of my favorite things to do is rummage through collectibles and curiosities at antique shops and thrift stores. I love holding things in my hands that have a history, that could tell a story if only they could speak. It's fun to imagine where all of these dusty old things came from, the homes… Continue reading Antique Store Finds
