rain & the sea

July 22, 2008 - It is so amazing how much rain has fallen from the sky as of late! I don’t mind because it gives our gardens a much needed drink but it does make for quiet times at the shop. But what I have to introduce to you will inspire you to put on your [...]

canadiana crush

July 19, 2008 - I have a personality which is suseptible to crushes. I get crushes on certain food ingredients, fabrics, imagery, artists, musicians - and the list can go on. They are not the heartbreaking painful part nor the fixation part of crushing but rather the sweet tender ”they can do no wrong” admirings.  Someone I fell [...]

fun with the number 4

July 15, 2008 - I saw this video on Double Happiness’s blog - Feist on Sesame Street singing about the number 4. It is so cute. And I agree with Trudy…the best line is “chickens just back from the shore”.

Love, Me will be carrying Double Happiness’s gorgeous books very soon. Her albums were written about [...]

hot off the presses

July 11, 2008 - I am so excited that two fabulous Canadian magazines have fallen for Love, Me. Check out the latest issue of Wish Magazine (July-August) and LouLou Magazine (July) for blurbs on our fair shoppe.
You can check them both out on our “Media” page. Here is a sneak at the LouLou blurb:

biased voting

July 8, 2008 - I will admit right off the bat that this request is biased for three reasons. Reason #1 - I am a huge fan of this super cool, super smart writer - Sue Carter Flinn; Reason #2 - I am also a huge fan of artisan Kyla Francis and her rockin’ roll asthetic; [...]

badges

July 3, 2008 - I am doing a lazy blog job today and reposting bits of an interview between the Amy Borkwood (for Toronto Craft Alert) with Lee Mezaros. Lee’s sweet and/or sassy merit badges get tons of giggles, smiles, and “these are soooo great”s from Love, Me customers. Come and pick one up for [...]

i heart canada

June 28, 2007 - Oh boy - Canada Day is around the corner. Other than the fact that Canada Day also happens to be my wedding anniversary, I am sentimental about Canada Day. I am a technically a dual citizen (gasp!). I was born and raised in the O.C. (California). But thankfully the silver lining [...]

celebration

June 18, 2008 - This Saturday, June 21st is the first day of summer. Whatcha doin’ to celebrate? You can not let this day go by without a little cheer! I don’t care what the forecast says or if it has been grey all week. It is time to break out of this spring fog [...]

summer

June 11, 2008 - As I write this post, the fog is rolling past my window. Just two days ago I was sweating standing still! What up? On an upside, it is fun summer times inside the shop. We have rec’d some new stock from some hot artisans who are heating up the media scene. [...]

music

May 31, 2008 - When I opened the shop of “all Canadian handmade” products, I knew I was only going to play Canadian music in the shop. Not everyone visiting the shop realizes this but many do. I had an experience a few days ago where every song, one customer would say “I love this [...]
