Collage NIGHT is back with artist host Becky Johnson!

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.

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.
