This building will be packed from tomorrow through Sunday with hoards of frenzied Christmas shoppers.... so come and join 'em! Support your  local artisans!!!

December Event Listings!

Woah. It's the 2nd of December. This may go down in history as the fastest year ever...I swear it was February a couple of hours ago...
Here's what's happening in the next few weeks that will, I'm sure, make for another blurry month:

(1) Today is the Opening Day of our "Local-E" pop up shop in charming Gastown! Thirteen local designers, including yours truly, have collaborated to create this unique (and adorable!) little shop which will be open everyday until the 18th and will offer shoppers a taste of some designs from Vancouver's talented fashion and accessory designers. I know I have a biased opinion...but I think this could likely be the best place to buy local fare in Vancouver this Christmas season. So come on down and spend some money! Support local and get festive!

11 to 7pm daily   235B Cambie Street

(2) One Of A Kind Vancouver runs next week, from the 8th of December to the 11th. Shanah Flodstrom, from Little Houses Clothing, and I will be sharing a booth at this event and look forward the excitement (and most likely mass chaos) that will arise from the over 20,000 Christmas shoppers expected to attend the show! I'm not great at math, but that seems like quite a large number of folks in one building. Let's just hope that they all have a more pleasant and patient disposition than the frantic and frenzied shoppers of Black Friday in the US last week...I don't want to have to bear spray anyone...Anyhow, we'll be in Booth E47 if you can make it down! Bring your wallets, please and thanks. And any Christmas baking you may have...

Happy shopping everyone!
