Back to work!

Well, after an amazing vacation with the family, we are back in town and back to reality!  We spent one beautiful, warm and sunny week in Palm Springs with a day at Disneyland and California Adventure for the kids (and yes, for us grownups too!). We spent most days lounging by the pool, eating, relaxing and watching movies...how glorious.  Our day at the theme parks was jam packed, exhausting and so much fun.  We can't wait to do it again, we just might have to take an extra day to conquer both parks:) While it was amazing to be away, it is always nice to come home, sleep in your own bed and feel that renewed sense of energy towards life, work and all of those unfinished projects!  I was lucky enough to come home to a fresh new box of organic cotton long sleeve onesies, ready to be printed.  Some will arrive at their new home in Vancouver shortly and some will be saved for Deck the Halls which will be happening December 1st at the North Delta Rec Center!  More details to

Colour Love

Love seeing these stacked together looking all soft and colourful! Getting ready for the burst that is Christmas Season...busy bee, printing, heat setting, tagging and pricing.  So gratifying when it all comes together though!  Wish I could do one in every colour.  Maybe eventually :)

Almost there...

Well, the first set of long sleeves have been printed! hooray!  I am loving how absolutely soft and cozy these onesies are.  I'm also so happy about my new hang tags, they are so simple but add so much to bringing together the whole look of the clothing.  Now I just need to finish printing the brown owls on the natural coloured onesies and they will be all set to fly away to their new homes :)   These organic cotton long sleeve onesies come in brown with white owls and natural with brown owls.  My vision has always been to offer primarily unisex items and I love these combinations for any little bambino.   I am also introducing drawstring pants in the same cozy and soft organic cotton. Combine any of the onesies with any of the pants and you've got yourself a beautiful gift or special treat for your own little owl!  I highly recommend dressing your little one in the set and then having a good snuggle :)  The simplest things really are the sweetest! Both pants and o

The hang tags are here!

I was so excited to pick up my new hang tags today from jukeboxprint.com! They look amazing and I can't wait to start tagging some freshly printed onesies to get them out for the fall/winter season. I am also excited to announce that I'll be introducing organic cotton long sleeve onesies and organic cotton pants to the collection! I think they will make a perfect, cozy set for your little ones through this chilly weather. The new onesies and pants should be making their grand appearance at the Deck the Halls Christmas market this December so stay tuned for more information on that! Xo

The Brights Collection!

Hi All,   These are a few samples of what I like to call the "Brights Collection"!  These onesies and shirts are organic cotton, printed with water based inks and heat set to preserve the image through as many washes as it neeeds.  Great care is taken with each item as I print, heat set and tag each one by hand.  I will be introducing a few new pieces for fall/winter so stay tuned!!! xo

Market season

Image
Well, another fun and successful summer market season has come and gone! We had great weather and fantastic turnouts for both the Ladner Market and the Watershed Artworks Society Market (A Whole Lotta Art). I have run into old friends, met new ones and talked with many wonderful customers. So just when I start to wonder at 2am the night before the market, why am I doing this, I remember how great the sun feels, how happy the music sounds and how wonderful it is to share a passion with the rest of the world! So at the end of the day I look forward to another busy summer market season next year :) A big thanks to everyone who came out to support us local artists and artisans this year. And a big thanks to the organizers of these great markets, without you, we would have one less place to share out wares! And a final big thanks to family who understand and support me through every season. Xo

My best helper!
