We back!

Time to revive this baby!

After 4 years of hiatus, I'm back at the keyboard. I cannot promise anything but I will do my best to update as often as possible. After 2.5 years in Toronto, I've taken the leap to London. While Toronto has been an excellent stepping stone, I'm very excited to have something to really write home about.

Today I'm sitting in a nice little organic coffee shop off Commercial in East London. The soundtrack is off the hook for a Monday morning and I couldn't be more thrilled. This town definitely has a great vibe. It's old world meets new world: patchwork sidewalks, colourful alley ways, brick and glass. Walking around feels like the equivalent of learning to brush your teeth with the opposite hand.

While I have no idea where I'm going to fit into the whole equation this early in the game, I am very much at ease. Bouts of déjà vu and little miracles serve as perpetual encouragement to keep right along.

4 days away!


Just like that another week has FLOWN by! 

I'm finding it really hard to believe it's already the end of the month! Puces Pop is only days away!! 

That said, today I baked hundreds of cookies to sell at my table alongside my sewn goods. I'm looking forward to giving them all a beautiful coat of icing.


In keeping with my schedule, I also tagged all my cushions and finished sewing up the last of the pouches.

Birthday Vibes.

Collection of birthday flowers.

This weekend I celebrated my birthday in the company of all my friends. I gifted myself a brand new BBQ and hosted a wonderful picnic in the park. I especially enjoyed taking a break from what has been non-stop work on all ends.

However, this didn't mean I stopped entirely... On Saturday I collected some throw-away crates from the market and today I stained them. I'll be using them to display my products at Puces Pop in 2 weeks.
