Montreal Je T'aime

One of the things I absolutely love about Montreal is how much creativity and talented artisans you can find. It's a beautiful thing: a vibrant community of creative people that thrive in making lovely things and those wonderful curators, that encourage creativity by surrounding themselves with carefully crafted, local, beautiful products, attending local craft fairs, shops and galleries.

The other day I made a treasury on Etsy featuring some of my local faves, just some of them as I have plenty! I'll share with you some of them. To see my complete list, click on this link to the Treasury!

Hope you like my Montreal picks! 

Awesome purchase of the Week: Falconwright

Toronto designer duo Sandi Falconer and Danielle Wright are the masterminds behind screen printed leather goods Falconwright. I fell in love with their work a couple years ago when they were part of the vendor line-up at Puces POP here in Montreal and later discovered that Sandi is also the illustrator of Deadweight, an absolute fave shop on Etsy ( I once got the Mystery pack and it was like opening a Christmas present!) and Danielle is an amazing jeweller: this girls are just super creative and awesome.

All this to tell you I recently purchased one of their leather goods, a beautiful emerald green clutch with a wonderful eye pattern: in love! The leather is so soft, the colors so bright and the pattern is fantastic. If you haven't check their products yet, I recommend you to click here, take a look and enjoy!

Tea and Kate loveliness.

I don't know if I have told you but Instagram is one of mu favourite things to spend hours at, looking at gorgeous pictures and getting the inspiration flowing by admiring the taste in beautiful things of people around the world.

I'm also very glad that I've got to "meet" fantastic people over there, some of them I had meet already in person due to us being 'instagram friends' and let me tell you, it's not difficult to feel that way as you are looking into the daily life of many people and sharing your own experiences with them.

One of those persons I meet on IG is Kate Bradbury, a lovely woman from the UK, mom of four beautiful kiddos that has an exquisite taste for beautiful things. The photos she shares everyday from her home, her kids and the things she likes are full of inspiration: minimalist style photos splashed with color, happiness and whimsy all around.

She very recently opened a website where she has for sale a ton of whimsical goodness, directly from her I-Love-list. So, I was completely honoured when she told me she wanted to sell my jewelry there!

Please visit her website and blog, you can thank me later!

A great Weekend at Puces POP

Today I feel like I could laid on the couch the whole day long from exhaustion but man, what a great weekend it was! The Spring edition of Puces POP was fantastic: So many lovely costumers and friends visited my booth! It was great to meet and have a little chat with many of my Instagram and Facebook acquaintances, thanks so much for stopping by!!
