Kensington Market Pedestrian Sunday

All Plante. All Handmade. All day.

It's that wonderful time of year again! Come on down to see With A Y Design, Lynda Plante, and myself, at Kensington Market this Sunday, July 28th, for Pedestrian Sunday!

We will be located on lower Augusta selling handmade tote bags, purses, cases, wine bags, acorn jewellery, zines, recycled cards/envelopes, and a new line of beaded jewellery and vintage skeleton key necklaces!

Now that the heat wave is over the weather is going to be perfect, so bring your friends and your appetite (there are tons of yummy vendors on upper Augusta!)

See you there!

Acorn Love!

So much acorn love from one of my favourite VIP customers! 

Thanks for all the online shout-outs Tina!

Fit For A Princess!

This is how adorable little girls rock their acorn necklaces!

Fun @ The Zine Fair

The 5th Annual OCADU Zine Fair was a ton of fun and a great success! There was a huge turn out and some really interesting local book artists in attendance. Glad I brought all those extra copies of Wood Panel That Shit! cuz they sold like hot cakes! We had the music pumping, sorry again security, and the popcorn popping all day! Great people, great atmosphere, great day! Thanks again for having me!

The view from my angle. Look at all those lovely acorn tops!

Our neighbor from the OCADU Zine Library brought a button making machine for people to make their own custom buttons! It was tons of fun! I thinking I ended up making 8 for myself!

Picnic baskets made for an awesome display unit, and I was actually able to fit all of my merch inside. Look out summertime! This picnic basket of goodies is going to be strapped to my bike rack and mobile!

Handmade/printed matchbooks for sale.

Hundreds of different handmade envelope/card sets to choose from.

Acorns All Day!

Got The Weeknd pumpin' on the surround sound today in the studio, while I work on a brand new batch of acorn jewellery. It's like I'm makin' love to a tree!

My fav part - colour coordinating and getting the assembly line ready!
