 FAVOURITE designs from So Young Inc. so far.  I thought nothing could beet (pun alert) the artichoke but the new red beets and the black sheep in the larger cooler size are pretty damn awesome.  There are also new prints on the smaller lunch coolers, including a dinosaur and a deer as well as new lunchboxes (below)!

Come see how cute!

imm cupsSpring Imm Living is here! They have a new more affordable line within their line called Carousel.  These stacking mugs are from that line and they are already selling like hot cakes!

2spring1New Moonlight for Violet studs! I love how she’s always evolving and creating new things, like these polymer clay pyramid studs available in a variety of Spring colours!

2spring4

Xenia Taler is a Toronto ceramic artist and she’s come out with some amazing new pieces this year.  I know her from my time at Red Pegasus and love the new direction she’s taken with her work.  Tiles can be used as coasters or as wall hangings.  Lots of nature inspired pieces as well as  other fun designs.

 

 

2spring8

Izola has a line of stainless martini shakers, for the Mad Men in us all.  I’ve got two styles in stock, “Shake, Rattle & Roll” and the one shown above which shows “measures for the bar.”

2spring3

I’ve been carrying Hello Lucky cards since I opened and just now decided to try out their gorgeous letterpress prints.  They definitely fit in with the whimsical, animal motif in the shop.

2springNew Frug is here! Affordable, fun pieces, something for everyone! This is just a taste (I love their chunky pieces this season).  Also lots of delicate pieces and animal inspired jewellery.

fredrick princeKind of cheating since technically I didn’t get this in this week, but I haven’t had a good chance to praise Fredrick Prince.  To be honest, I’m surprised I still have this piece in the shop, it’s BEAUTIFUL! Perfect to throw on over your Spring layers. Lots of great chunky pieces mixed with semi precious stones from this designer.

2spring2Lots of new bags in the shop as well! Spring/Summer Isak and Inger has filled up the shelves. Her beautiful fabrics and well constructed accessories are always an exciting addition.

Lots of new colours in the BYOB and TGIF plus a new style (on the right) the Pocket Pal!

 IMG_2796Last but not least! Falconwright leather clutches and pouches arrived today!! Beautiful, bright and bold graphics adorn these handmade leather accessories. Made in Toronto!!

Here comes the bride..and the groom

Posted on July 6, 2012 by leah

We are well into wedding season!  Scout has some beautiful gift ideas for the couple or your husband or wife to be!

(Wedding card by the Regional Assembly of Text)

For them

Not every couple wants china sets and silverware for their wedding.  Here are some ideas to help you give the newly weds something unique!

These beautiful handmade cutting boards from Halifax make a beautiful wedding gift. Made from FSC Maple & Birch.

The latest print, Woodrough Lodge, from Jessica Rae Gordon is full of Canadiana! A perfect gift for any couple. Comes all ready to hang in a vintage frame!

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.

A cook book for two complimented with Toronto made tea towels and napkins are the perfect addition to a newly weds kitchen.

This folklore enamel tea pot has loads of character, and cups to match!

Are the newly weds going on a Honeymoon?  Crumple maps from an assortment of cities will help get them off to a good start.

Candleholder’s made from Niagara wine barrel’s are a lovely eco gift (beeswax tea lights in the shop as well to fill it!)

A wall mount bottle opener for the beer drinking love birds.

A couple of merit badges for a couple of love birds.

Plus the wrap to make sure it’s ready to give on the big day!

For Her

For the groom to give his bride, for the friends to shower their friend, lots of reasons to spoil her before she walks down the aisle.

A beautiful sterling silver “love knot” by Vancouver’s Mimi and Marge

This beautiful 5 year memory journal is a great way to keep track of your daily musings with only one line a day.

A merit badge for tying the knot.

A journal for the couple to be to discover and explore more about each other.

Beautiful pearl acorn earrings by Vancouver’s Toodlebunny

Unique one of a kind ceramic bracelets by Saskatoon’s Cathy Terepocki

For Him

For the Groom, and the husband to be, he’s just as important as the bride. Here are some ideas for him before tying the knot!

Every man needs a flask on his wedding day. Calm those nerves!

Beautiful handkerchief set to fill his suit pocket and wipe his tears, of joy!

Love cufflinks, awwwww.

Make sure he knows his stuff!

A coat pin for even the manliest of men

A merit badge for your main squeeze.

Let the countdown begin!

This just in..

Posted on January 12, 2012 by leah

Been getting boxes in every day now! Restocking the old, and bringing in the new! Here’s a few new items I’ve received this week:

I had the totem S&P shakers over the holidays and I had a lot of you inquiring about the cups.  So here they are!  A beautiful addition to any kitchen, and a space saver!

I couldn’t keep the soaps in stock over Christmas!  Now that you’ve all developed dependencies I’ve got a great assortment back on the shelf, or should I say the ladder… Who doesn’t want to exfoliate with a Tea soap!

Caroline from Persylla’s just dropped off some more fabulous necklaces! There seems to be a wee nautical theme happening here!

With all the families and kids in the neighborhood, I’ve also had a few people ask about bringing in some unique party invites! Rifle Paper Co. make these (and more!) beautiful invitations that I say work just as well for a grown up party as they would for a kid’s.

 

There ya have it! I’ll keep posting as I keep receiving :D
