Well helloooo!! It has been a busy week so far! My intern Caroline finished up last week so it’s back to working 6 days a week for me! I can’t complain though, I never thought I’d get days off in my first year open.. (Caroline I miss you already!!) I’ve also been getting loads of shipments in and there are much more expected! I kind of eased off a lot on Summer buying as I’d been told the neighborhood can get a bit quiet, but Fall is another story. Back to school, back to the everyday, back to filling up the shelves. Here’s a peek at what’s new:
Cokluch!
I got my fall shipment of Cokluch bags in today! I couldn’t be happier! Made in Montreal these bags are versatile, functional and of course beautiful. Adjustable straps, inner pockets, and fully lined! Their really well made and I love their designs this season.
Frug!
Frug is another Canadian favourite in the shop. Made in Ottawa they have two different lines with two different looks. La Russe (pictured above) and La Pistole (pictured below).
Love them both, love it all (especially love all the geometric jewellery this season). This is just a tiny taste of what I have in the shop from Frug. Come in to see it all!
So Young Inc!
Toronto designer Catherine Choi of So Young Inc has come out with some awesome new styles for Fall. Pictured above are the new backpacks, they come with a detachable insulated lunch box! The middle bag is the newest in the larger cooler bag design. I’m a sucker for an artichoke.
Pictured above are her new backpacks, just as good for adults as they are for kids. Fully lined with a water resistant and wipe-able branch pattern fabric, and loads of pockets and compartments. It also comes with a collapsible insulated lunch bag.
J.R Watkins
I’ll admit the packaging is what first got me when I was shown J.R Watkins. After finding out this company is America’s original natural apothecary manufacturer (founded in 1868), and that they use only the finest natural ingredients, I had to make room for them in the shop.
They’ve also got a 100% Natural, paraben free, phthalate free & dye free baby line that smells amazing (fresh shea & rice flower). Their price points are awesome too!
Old School Stationers, Greenwich Letterpress, Waste Not Paper & Rifle Paper Co.
New boxed cards and single cards from loads of my favourite card companies are in the shop. Remember, if you ever come into the shop and don’t see a card you’re looking for, please ask! I’ve always got a few tucked away in the back. I’ll be hanging a new card rack in the coming months so look forward to there being lots more to choose from!
Beautiful new sheets of wrapping paper from Rifle Paper Co. in the shop (perfect for those last summer weddings!)
More exciting news..
Scout will be turning 1 next month! I can’t believe it’s almost been a year since I had the pleasure of opening up my shop in the ‘hood. The Polish Festival is the same weekend as Scout’s birthday, so stay tuned for details on an event coming up to celebrate, likely in October!
The Polish Festival is September 15th and 16th. Scout will definitely have a table set up outside full of sweet deals for you! An email will be sent out with details as we get closer to the date.
