Collage NIGHT is back with artist host Becky Johnson!

Posted by erin January 20, 2012

Join us in the store on Tuesday January 31st from 7-9pm for an evening of collage making with Becky Johnson of Sweetie Pie Press.

I’m thrilled to launch this year’s Collage Nights with Becky Johnson, who’s crafting, blogging and business is inspiring to anyone she meets. I met Becky when she stopped into my shop last year – she lives in Toronto, where I’m from – so we had lots to chat about from the get go.

Her Sweetie Pie Press buttons are sold here in the shop, and she’s an avid blogger, crafter, and all round interesting gal to chat with. You can learn a little more about Sweetie Pie here, http://www.sweetiepiepress.com/
 and get to know the gal her self over paper, scissors and glue on Tuesday January 31st right here at the big table in the middle of the shop.

I tumblr for YOU.

Posted by erin January 13, 2012

Yes, we’ve done it. We’ve gone and created a tumblr page, just for you. (I have to admit it’s pretty fun) Little by little we’ll post our inspirations and the things we make and anything else we might like. Enjoy it, we made it for you.

Books and Books and Books…

Posted by erin January 12, 2012

Yahoo! Our first book shipment of 2012 has happened. And with it, came “The Loud Book”, a companion to the much loved “Quiet Book” both illustrated by Renata Liwska, and written by Deborah Underwood.  This book is awesome, you’ll fall in love with all furry little creatures dealing with the louder moments in life; from snores to crashes to scary surprises. Now I just need to dream up a lesson plan so we can use this book in our Drop In classes!
