What’s New!

Posted on

Hope everyone’s staying cool this summer! Loving the heat, the sun, the warm nights, hard to believe I have product from Fall arriving!  Here’s a look at some new items that have arrived in the last little while.

The glass ware from Vessel has been a favourite!  I just got a shipment of new glass bottles pictured above, as well as stainless tumblers and even a water bottle that comes with a coconut filter straw that reduces up to 99.99% of the contaminants in drinking water.

Still waiting on the double wall glass tumblers, but in the mean time these 16 oz and 20 oz bpa free cups have a double wall meant for hot and cold beverages with the option of a straw or a flip top.

Decided to try out another line of silk screened onesies.  Made by A Little Lark in Portland, Oregon.  These 6-12 month styles are a perfect baby shower gift.  I’ve also brought in her line of letterpress cards and silk screened tea towels.

BlueQ is always a fun company to order from. Their new lavatory mists are a hilarious housewarming gift (for that right person/couple of course..)  Their tin boxes are constructed to replicate a vintage cigar box.  For your photos, sewing supplies and anything else that needs a home.

Toronto designer Shannon has been busy making new designs for her line, Moonlight for Violet.  These fibre wrapped curved bar necklaces are always unique! Gold plated and made in Toronto.

I’ve had Izola NYC in the shop since I opened, and I’m always excited to see what else they come out with.  Their 100% vegetable wax candles smell amazing and if that doesn’t get you then the packaging alone should.  Love the apothecary style jars.  Available in Rosemary, Lavender, Sandalwood & Jasmine.

Danielle from Zippan Designs has been adding to her line, which is always exciting!! Sterling silver, hand crafted in Toronto, one of my favourite lines in the shop.  The price is right, the quality is impeccable, the designs are unique and timeless.  Those little scissors even open and close! Love!

Erin Templeton has started shipping for fall, and I’ve already sold out of some colours!  The BYOB is made from recycled leather, with an adjustable strap and a little side pocket that fits a tall can.. you can’t go wrong.

And this beauty.  I have officially decided this is the perfect purse.  The medium tote, also by Vancouver’s Erin Templeton has a front and inside pocket.  The best part (other than the obvious beauty of this bag..) is the versatility of her straps.  It can be worn as a cross body, over the shoulder and even as a back pack!  Come in and we’ll show you how it’s done.  Available in new and recycled leather.

Lastly, the new issue of Pure Green Magazine is in the shop! Pure Green Magazine is an independent print publication for a stylish green lifestyle.  The magazine features eco style picks, innovative products and ideas, DIY projects, green home tours, eco travel destinations, organic recipes and more. There’s still time to grab one to bring up to the cottage with you, also makes a great gift for the cottage host!

Getting in new stock means making space

Mother’s Day is two weeks away today!  Here are some ideas to spoil the most important woman in our lives.

Beautiful ceramics back in stock from Saskatoon ceramic artist Cathy Terepocki. Mugs, Vases & Tumblers.

Unique recipe holders.  Night Owl does one in wood, while Chronicle Books has a more traditional cover.

Scarves by Chandi.  Pictured here is the peacock design.  They also come in bright beautiful floral prints and a bird print!

Hobo wallets! A classic, quality, long lasting accessory. Pictured here is the Lauren in my favourite colour, caramel.

A beautiful sterling silver necklace hand crafted by Toronto’s Zippan Designs.

A stylish hand dyed tote by Toronto’s Grace Design.  Perfect for spring!

Toronto’s Sula Beauty makes a lovely line of non-toxic nail polishes, all natural shea balms & oil based perfumes.  Lots of scents and colours for mom!

Beautiful tea towels made by Toronto’s Freshly Printed (I’m a sucker for the Mason Jar print)

Lots of great cards in the shop too.  This one is by Old School Stationers.

And my windows have been re-dressed for Mother’s Day too!! Thanks Jacqui!!

Of course a Mother’s Day post wouldn’t be complete without a little shout out to my own Mom! Such a huge support in my life.  So lucky to have such a strong, independent, honest, wonderful role model to look up to.

Love you Mom!

Spring has sprung at Scout!

I’ve been neglecting the blog again.. all this social networking is tiring :)   Lots of new things have arrived in the last couple weeks so felt it was due time for an update!

Erin Templeton!  Who doesn’t love your soft recycled leather goods.

Along with the small leather goods I had last season (coin purses & makeup bags), I also ordered her TGIF & BYOB bags for Spring!  Loving the bright colours. The BYOB style even comes with a secret pocket for your tall can.  I think I hear the park calling!

 

Zippan Designs is back on the shelves!  She has expanded her line and now has these adorable critters available.  Still handcrafted in sterling silver and made in Toronto!  Lots of other designs available too for the less animal-y people. Feathers, stars, keys and the favourite anatomical heart.

 

Imm-Living hits the mark with these fabulous antler mugs.  Designed in Toronto with an obvious Canadian feel.  Is it a deer or a moose kind of a morning?

Smitten Kitten has introduced these kitschy Canadiana journals this spring! Printed in Canada on 100% recycled paper.

How sweet are these little barrel vases?! Made in Toronto by ceramic artist RCBoisjoli, a perfect housewarming gift.

New card line!! Flaming banjos and a Hoppy Birthday card from Two Guitars in Portland, Oregon.

Handmade picture frames from Mmim in New York!

New Rolls of wrapping paper from Waste Not Paper!  The name says it all. Their paper comes from mills that practice responsible, sustainable forestry. Waste Not also uses renewable energy sources, such as hydro power or wind power.

More adorable boxes made from found birch and cedar.  Made in London, ON.  This is my favourite of the bunch.

Another new jewellery line I’ve brought in for Spring! Mijuandyou is laser cut and etched jewellery made in Montreal.  All necklaces come on a 30″-32″ chain.

If you haven’t had a chance to come by and check out my windows, please do!  My friends Jacqui Gardner and Craig Hopgood blew me away (again) with their “In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb” installation.

HAPPY SPRING!
