Hey Everybody,

So if you can’t make it to the studio for this weekend’s open house and sale, you can still get in on the action!! I’ve posted some of our new stuff, and it is for sale!! Here’s the lowdown: These items are available on a first come, first serve basis, so if you want it, email me and let me know. I will be deleting items that have sold once payment is received, but if you love it, email me any way and I’ll see what I can do. Payments will be via Paypal, as with our other online shopping, and a flat rate of $10.00 for shipping will apply. If you have any questions, or comments, please email me and I’ll get back to you asap. Thanks!! Janna

This is our latest bag: the Downtown tote. Part purse, part tote bag, this satchel fits across the body or over one shoulder. This bag would rock with slouchy boots for a dressy but still cool look. There is a back pocket, and a snap closure. This style is $120.00 Canadian. This bag is sold, but don’t worry, I’m making more, and in other colours too!

This is our new clutch wallet. It features two snap front pockets that are big enough to hold your credit cards and mad money, and a large open pouch for everything else. I am totally loving mine: I feel so organized, for once!! Available in ESPRESSO (top photo) or BLACK (bottom photo) for $36.00 Canadian.

Our newest wallet!! The applique image is also the change pocket, inside there are two credit card slots and 3 pockets for money, reciepts and whatever else you might need. Two snaps keep it all in tight. As shown: BLUE BIRD or BLACK HEART, $36.00 Canadian.

Persimmons!! These tasty little treats are available at your Chinese grocer, or on this cute Medium tote!! They taste like a cross between a pumpkin and a melon and are the most Fall shade of orange. Price is $75.00 Canadian, bag is Avocado green, with a brown strap.

Stitched Bubbleflower!! A favorite applique becomes a stitched image in lime and emerald on Espresso brown vinyl, black adjustable strap. Medium tote. Price is $75.00 Canadian.

New Tree! A bold combination of Black on Avocado. Medium tote. Price is $75.00 Canadian.

Stitched Leaves!! Mocha stitched leaves on my latest favorite shade: Goldenrod!! I am in love with this colour, it goes with so much: pink, blue, brown, green, orange, tan and provides a nice pop of colour too. But if you’ve ever seen my blog before, you probably knew that already!! Medium tote, $75.00 Canadian.

Foliage!! Shown here in Olive on Fjord blue. I love the simplicity of this image, it’s organic and modern all at the same time. While this isn’t an obvious colour combination for fall, it would be really nice against a denim, tan or chocolate brown jacket. Medium tote, $75.00 Canadian.

Acorns!! A fall icon on a fresh shade of Alpine green. I love the subtle oak leaf, which is life size, and the contrast of the giant acorns, which are not life size…… if they were, could you imagine the size of the squirrel?!! Medium tote, $75.00 Canadian.

Pussywillows!! While these would be more of a spring phenomenon, pussywillows always feel like fall to me: I think it is the fuzz or something. On Burnt Orange: maybe not your immediate choice, but trust me, if you wear a lot of browns, this is the bag for you (I have it, I know!!). Medium tote, $75.00 Canadian.

Toadstools!! A happy, woodland image on Olive green. Medium tote, $75.00 Canadian.

Plum Blossoms!! Espresso bag with pops of Olive, Avocado and Alpine greens. Medium tote, black strap, $75.00 Canadian.

Okay, so this is a lot of stuff. I know, it’s a bit overwhelming. Imagine how the people coming to the open house must feel: dizzy with choice and slathered in possibility!! As always, if you still don’t see it, email me and I’ll do my best for you.

Thanks for visiting!! xo Janna

Hey Everybody

This weekend the studio will be open and brimming with new stuff for fall! I’ve got new Fall clothes, including a really great coat you can custom order, and as always, lots of our fun bags. I have a great selection of larger bags, including our diaper bag, and lots of colours in our sash tote we introduced for spring. I have a new style of bag, a new wallet, and a bunch of new applique images not online yet too. Since Fall is coming, I have also been making lots more of my recycled cashmere scarves and I have lots of wool toques to chose from for crisp mornings.

Tina from Oona Clothing will be joining us at the studio, with her fall clothing and new underpant styles, so there’s lots to check out!! This will be our last one until the Eastside Culture Crawl in November, so come by and say hello:
