'Fresh off the Press' Designer Fair

It's that time of year again!... Craft fair season :)
There are a few coming up but the first one is on May 9-10th from 12-5. If you live in Montreal, come check it out! There are going to be some really great designers there so don't miss it! It will be held at 4064 Boul. St. Laurent on the 2nd floor...


Other news.... we are re-locating the studio! We realized that our apartment is quite big and we were spending extra money on a space that we didn't really need... so, we moved... and it's great... in 2 days I managed to get EIGHT things done!! I can't believe it.. I actually am feeling like I'm almost caught up. Here are a couple pics of the new studio...



I found this great blog this weekend called Crafty Nest... it gives you ideas on how to transform old junk, like these old drawers that I made into a shelving unit... I love it!

It was my good friends 30th last weekend, so we put on our finest duds and party hats!

I can feel my 30th creeping up rather quickly... yikes...

Wide awake it's Morning...

It's been a busy week around here! Lot's of visitors, too much socializing and not enough sleep! I had my best friend from Vancouver come and stay for the weekend.. with all the excitement there was little work being done.. I did have a small, last minute sale at the Paper and Pine girls' house so I suppose you could call that work! It was a small, cozy little sale with some really great things, but unfortunately the weather just didn't cooperate! It rained all weekend! It now seems to be back to winter around here... I don't even like to say it out loud but IT'S SNOWING HERE! So sad... ah well, soon it will be too hot to bear..

I also found out this weekend that I got into Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn this summer! Very exciting... now the pressure is really on to work my but off!!

Here are a few pics of the sale this weekend... the Little Houses rack,

And the PoodleBreath table...

The Pinpals were also there...

And a few more Etsy artists as well.

I made this sweater a couple months ago but never posted it because for some reason, I just didn't really like it... I was convinced otherwise this weekend and posted it promptly! Here is the Missy...

And the newest spring item... the Peasant top,

That's all for now... coffee is empty which means its time to get to work!

Spring has sprung!

Well spring is officially here! And it totally feels like it too... I got my first sunburn this weekend! Not that I'm and endorser of sunburns, but that first one always feels so good ya know? That first shot of Vitamin D after a long cold, dark winter. It is also the start of 'plenty of guests' season... we had our first round this weekend. I can foresee a lot of socializing this next few months... may have to crack the whip at some point and get to work! I am in the process of working on an order for a store in Halifax called Love, Me Boutique, I plan to have it finished in the next 2 weeks.

My website is FINALLY up!!! Yay!! Please have a lookie loo here... You can now buy things directly off of the site, rather than going through Etsy... although Etsy works fine too!

My husband and I have recently joined forces (sort of)... he has his new line Witch Hunt Clothing which I am helping him with and he is helping me with mine. It's great, we work together at the studio everyday but we are keeping our lines separate. Here are a few photos of his first new items which can currently be purchased in the 'Mens' section of the Little Houses Site....

The 'Edwin' hooded sweatshirt,


The 'D.B. Cooper' hooded t-shirt,


The 'Standby' Sweatershirt....


And the 'Philmonte' Pant....


So yes... we have been busy :)
I am hoping to have some new things for Little Houses soon... once this Halifax order gets finished I will have a bit more time!

I hope to post my weekly 'Etsy Finds' this week... until then, a couple pics of our beautiful sunny Montreal weekend...


Off to work now...

Morning Coffee with Etsy

It's Sunday morning, my husband is in Toronto, and my lazy dog is still in bed... so I'm sitting cross legged at the computer with my coffee and Fleet Foxes quietly singing in the background... it's kind of cozy actually... My favorite thing to do while drinking my first coffee of the day is surf Etsy! There are so many great clothing designers on Etsy, it's really inspiring. So I have decided to share some of my fav's that I've come across today...

This top from Supayana is really cute, I'm loving it. This girl takes old vintage finds and reconstructs them into something beautiful... smart little cookie if you ask me... She's got some really great ideas, I may need to make a purchase one of these days! Have a peek at the rest of her lovely designs here


And another fabulous vintage shop! I love this cropped leather bomber jacket!

Persephone Vintage has a great eye! And I'm loving the photo's too... the outfits this girl wears really

sell the product... good job! Her other great finds can be found on her Etsy shop, located here

This super cute dress by Kaylim is brilliant! I just keep staring at it.. it's such a fantastic idea, I love things that are different and creative. I love how she has made the knitted cowl a part of the dress, it also has a drawstring so that you can wear it loose or tight... brilliant. Check out those hand stitched pockets! This dress is totally worth the $115 pricetag! Pick one up here


Still searching for the perfect little brown bag? Well I've found it! These bags from Penelope Foo
are probably the best leather bags I've seen on Etsy. They are super stylish, and really well made. This girl has some tallent.. this shop is definitely worth having a look at! I can't wait to one day own one of these... check out her new shop here



Ahhh... and last but not least, this magical Sparrow Dress by Makool. I feel like this would make a stunning wedding dress... It is layered with chiffon and silk... I'm in love. There are plenty more beautiful dresses to drool over on her Etsy shop here


Well... those are my Sunday fav's... I suppose it's time to start my day. The Sun is shining and it's even starting to feel a bit like spring!

Yay.

New Home!

It's been a while since my last post... I have been busy busy busy! What's new though, really.
We moved into a new apartment and I'm totally in love with it. It is definitely the best apartment I have ever lived in. Here is a sneak peek at the new place....



Other than all the moving fun, I am trying my hardest to sqeeze in spring designs! I recently received some amazing new handmade, ceramic buttons from Veronica Buttons. You can visit her Etsy store here. The buttons are stunning, but they are definitely larger than I expected! But they worked perfectly for these two new garments I've created. Here is the very first dress I have ever made, I call it The Clarice


And a new top made of a 100% wool knit, it's really soft and super light, perfect for spring! (If it ever decides to come around)

This top is called The Owl

And now for some favorite recent Etsy finds! I'm pretty sure that this bowl by Poodlebreath is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen... wow... I'll take 2 please!


And this amazing top by Replicca is super cool... I have been noticing this shop more and more and am really impressed with what their doing.


Well, I think it's about that time... tea and sleep.

Sick.

Well I'm sick.. I've been trying to ignore it and hope that it will just go away but alas... the sickness won. It's Valentines day.. and as much as I kind of think that this whole holiday is a bit of a joke.. Dunc and I decided to hang out. We took the dog to the mountain for a walk... turns out the actual 'walk' part was closed because it is sheer ice. So instead we went to see the horses! This lovely boy was wonderful..


He came at me and freaked me out!


So pretty....

The view today was pretty great... so nice and sunny out...



It was a bit cold with the wind.. so we came home for tea and chocolates!

I am doing my best to get new stuff done these days... The Brandenburg is a new spring coat



I think this one is my new favorite... The Arienette ... the fabric made me think of grandpa's coat, and what is a grandpa coat without leather elbow patches?




That's all for today... time to heat up some soup, brie and baguettes and get some rest...
