Pear Tree Collective ~ Winter Market

My last event of the season is the Pear Tree Collective, a winter market hosted by the lovely ladies at Floating Gold Iceberg Boutique. Cara and Angie took over the retail space next to the FGI shop and in partnership with Verbena Floral Design, they have created the most GORGEOUS handmade fashion and baby and home wares show of the season. It's quaint and sparkly, and the perfect way to wrap up your holiday shopping.



I am so thankful to Cara and Angie for helping me to still participate in the show ... We came home from last weekend's epic 6-day One Of A Kind Show adventure to a flooded basement (unusually high rains + high tide + poorly maintained neighbourhood creek = ten houses on our block - all flooded!). We've been dealing with the ins and outs of water damage, insurance, computer meltdowns and parenting (day care flooded too - what are the chances, seriously.) and I didn't think I'd be able to manage being in the Pear Tree Collective event, but the women of FGI are staffing my booth. Oh, heavens ~ I thank thee!

I have lots to tell you about the One Of A Kind Show (it was great!) and other Dress Me Up happenings so stay tuned. In the meantime, visit the Pear Tree Collective Market today till 6pm and tomorrow 11am - 5pm.

Warm thanks, always and dearly, for buying handmade.

Zippy Crazy!

Tomorrow I head to the One Of A Kind Show, at the New Convention Centre right down on the Vancouver city waterfront ... LOVELY! I'm so excited, and up to my eye balls in all sorts of details - and stocking orders! It's been totally thrilling to have my stockings garner such love this holiday season. I've been shipping them off to every which place - the UK, Ireland, LA, Kansas City, Calgary! And I have a tidy pile of Victoria-based orders to do upon my return from OOAK.



It's a bit too late to have stockings ship regular post, but you can still get 'em if I send them Express Post (within Canada $15-$25), or Priority International Courier to the USA ($45). Locals are more than welcome to place orders right up to Dec 20th.

These stockings make me really happy. I love making them! Let me make some for you. Oh! And come see me, Nathaniel, Emma and Kerry at the One Of A Kind Show - this weekend. Maybe you'll find your stocking there (I'll have about 20 with me). xo
