For those of you who like to follow Federal politics, we have something hilarious new in the store:
They’re politician finger puppets by Fish on Fridays. We’ve got all five party leaders, some cabinet ministers (like John Baird and Jim Flaherty), and a few other political household names like Bob Rae, Justin Trudeau, and Stephan Dion. And [...]
There’s something new and cozy on the shelves today: a new shipment of hoodies from Clothing Brand Experiment (CBE).
CBE started as an experiment to make a perfect hoody that is locally made using locally sourced fabric. Owners of that original neon hoody (which we’ve sold out of) get to join the experiment and become “wearholders“. [...]
The weather is all over the map today. Drizzle one minute, sunshine the next. I guess that’s Halifax for you. One thing it was consistent about was a nip in the air. Even when the temperatures get into the teens, the air still has that fall chill to it. And while some people might get [...]
September 29, 2009 – Well…there is no denying it any longer. Fall is offically here. This morning I was well aware of all the wet leaves in fall colours sticking to the pavement and took note that I am wearing a turtleneck (albeit cotton) for the first time since early Spring.
Some of you lucky ladies [...]
September 25, 2009 – One last Handmade Nation post and then we are done, ok??

September 22, 2009 – It has been a nutty few days here at the shop with a wee leak and having to be closed or running massive dehumidifiers. I apologize to anyone who came by looking for wonderful goodies only to find we were closed.
Anyhow…moving forward…Handmade Nation Ticket Contest
Handmade Nation is a US documentary about [...]
September 15, 2009 – Looking out the window of the shop and seeing the rain pelt down and the leaves blowing off the trees, I am glad I opted to put my daughter in tights today. It is a funny time of year, bare legs are great for an afternoon like yesterday – hot & [...]
September 11, 2009 – Boxes! Every day a new box is arriving with great new product – much of it fall fashion. So I am going to do mini reviews of each designer so all ya’all are up to date. First up – local favorite Deux FM.
I had the opportunity to see Deux FM’s fall [...]
September 4, 2009 – Today is Eat Atlantic Day. Did you know that?? I am doing not too bad with some locally made muffins, some local produce and tonight’s menu is going to be a pasta dish (pasta which is not local – fail) with local tomatoes, basil and portobella mushrooms. Obviously my store is [...]
