Plötulopi Yarn

TheIcelandicWool‘s Plötulopi yarn is so tempting!

It is a fragile unspun yarn made with Islandic wool, which is created from coarse and fine fibers. Comes in many yummy colors too, of course!

Souk@Sat & Decor8

What a week! I’ve been busing gathering up some stuff and preparing documents for my Wall Wear submission to the Souk@Sat craft show here in Montreal! I finally finished everything last night and will be emailing everything today! Wish me luck! (It’s quite hard to get accepted there!!)

On another note, I want to thank Holly from Decor8 for adding my blog to her wonderful blogroll! The blog has been pouring with new visitors for 2 days now and I want to welcome everyone over too!!

Thanks so much and I hope you enjoy the place!! :)

Paper n Stitch

The Paper n Stitch website has launched, and I’m in it! YAY!

It’s sorta like a virtual craft fair, or a marketplace if you prefer, with wonderful handmade items from everywhere and in every style possible!

Plus, the design of the site is just perfect to me: it totally has it’s personality, but at the same time, it leaves all the focus to the artists! And the most fun feature I think: everyone can create an account and write comment on items! YAY! Love it :)

Check it out: Paper n Stitch

Puces Pop

{ English Follows }
:)

–

Eh oui! C’est le temps des PucesPop d’automne! Un évènement où des artisants d’ici et d’ailleurs (mais surtout d’ici!), présentent leur travail fait main. C’est une chance de rencontrer les acheteurs en personne, puisque la plupart d’entre nous vendent dans des boutiques qui ne sont pas les leurs ou en ligne!

Et j’y serai pour ma deuxième fois, avec bijoux et art en point-de-croix et finalement, pratiquement tout le contenu de ma boutique! Venez me voir!! :)

PucesPop
4-5 Octobre 2008, de 11h à 19h
Église Saint-Michel (105, rue Saint-Viateur O.), Montréal, Qc.

Pour plus d’infos et la liste des artisans, visitez cette page!

On s’y voit! :D

Yep! It’s that time of the year again where PucesPop is happening! It’s a wonderful craft fair where creative peeps can show off their handmade work. It is also one of the rare times where artists can actually meet buyers face to face, since most of us sell in other people’s bricks & mortar stores or online.

And I’ll be there for my second time, with lots of jewelry and Wall Wear and basically almost all my shop! Come see me! :)

PucesPop
4-5 October 2008, from 11am to 7pm
St-Michel Church (105 St-Viateur St. W.), Montreal, Qc.

For more info and a list of the artists, visit this page!

See you there!! :D
