The totem cups are back! Space saving and easy on the eyes :) A lovely addition to any home.

Aww matching pillowcases for the couple to lay their newly wed heads. Plenty of other designs to choose from.

These are a few of my favourite things…

Ah dear blog followers.. It’s been a lot harder keeping up to date with my posts as I’m gearing up for the holiday season!! Lots of new exciting things have come into the shop these last couple of weeks and I thought before I bombard you with full on Christmas merch, here are a few of MY favourite new items!

Look at this little guy! Not only is he adorable just sitting on your shelf, but he’s a full functioning bottle opener too! Just got in so many goodies from this new, designed in T.O, home wares company, was hard to pick just one item!

What’s more annoying than trying to navigate your way around a new city… obviously FOLDING THE MAP BACK UP!  Genius crumpled maps are meant to be tossed in their little baggie, NO folding required!

I don’t even really wear make up or carry it around… but I’m still a sucker for these super soft recycled leather make up bags by Vancouver-ite Erin Templeton.

Regional Assembly of Text does it again.  Fantastic stationary to remind you a letter in the mail is still a loved gesture.

Last but not least, had to include a little bling!  This gold vermeil antler necklace also comes in Sterling Silver.  Not to worry, no animals were harmed in its making :D

There you go! A little summary to bring you, somewhat, up to date with all that’s new!  I’m getting shipments every day so keep checking in, and in the coming weeks I’ll start posting some great gift ideas for dudes, lovers, babies, mommies and everyone in between!
