We can all use a bit more colour in our lives these days, so if you’re finding yourself lacking, look no further: OUR SPRING COLECTION IS HERE!! It’s more about colour and shape, rather than specific ‘things’ so let your inner minimal-modernist out and put some colour back in your life. Everything is available now in my online shopping store, check it out!!

STITCHED FIREWORKS — I’m loving this random combination of stitching and colours right now, which to me look like fireworks, but could really be just about anything, which is the real wonder of modernism!!

HYACINTH — this has a certain gum-ball feel to it, but without the 5 second sugary sweetness followed by the remorse of having wasted a quarter on something that now tastes like nothing.

JADE PLANT — A perennial favorite houseplant, brought to life in vivid brights, no need to water.

MOD BLOBS — I’m loving this very organic looking applique, which reminds me of 70’s curtains  and garden pavers all at once.

SEA GULL — this makes me think of my daily walks along the sea wall in Coal Harbour, watching the birds and boats and feeling the wind in my hair, while praying that I don’t get pooped on by one of the birds.

SPROUTS — I always love when they show time lapse videos of seeds sprouting into plants, don’t you? I like the modern form on this bag too, satisfying both my love of nature and simple forms all at once.

WHEAT — inspired in part by the wheat emblazoned freight cars that pass beneath my studio window, and 80’s patchwork leather purses. Feather clip not included….

Let me know what you think of everything, and I’ll be in touch again soon with open studio details. Bye for now, and enjoy!! XO Janna

Sorry it’s been a while, I’ve had my head in the clouds recently with lots on the go this month ….. here’s the highlights:

I’ve added NEW FALL ITEMS to our online shopping: new bags, cashmere scarves to keep you warm, oven mitts to keep you cool, and there will be more to come as the holiday season approaches…..

I’ve been sending stuff far and near: Militant Penguin on Main Street, Tartooful (now at 3183 Edgemont Blvd in North Vancouver), Naka in Ferndale, Michigan, Cherry Blossom Boutique in Kaslo BC, and Whirled Arts in Victoria BC.

I’m getting the studio ready for the Holiday show season, first up is Eastside Culture Crawl in November (20,21,22) so if you’re planning a trip to Vancity, that’s a really great weekend to check out the city, particularly what’s happening here in the  Eastside area arts scene. There will be more shows to come, but one thing at a time!!  XO Janna

It seems like that time again, the weather today was a bit cooler here in Vancouver, and we’ve seen some rain again lately…… so I guess the rumors about fall might be true!!

We’ve been making lots of Fall stuff lately, and finally we’ve got some of our new items for sale online….. there’s lots more coming soon, but check out our new bags for now, including the ever-so-fall Toggle tote.

There’s new stuff to be had in the shops too, with fall orders arriving at Plenty and Brier’s here in Vancouver, Tartooful and Room 6 on the North Shore, Funky Monkey in Squamish BC, Wisteria Chic in Sisters OR and Amita Art of Gifts in Seattle WA. Lots more on the way as well……. we’ll keep you posted!
If you’re in the Minneapolis area, remember our Fast and Furless Trunk Show coming up in September, and we’ll be doing something at the studio again soon too, we need a reason to clean the place up every now and again!! XO Janna
