PIN PALS

Western Thrift Score

I had some real luck thrifting last week..

Not only did I find a golf sweater and a curling sweater, I found a vintage curling tea set (my mom officially thinks I love all things curling now..which I have to admit is kinda true) a planter wishing me to "please get well", an amazing cup and saucer in a cross stitch pattern (!!), and a danish centrepiece which is already proudly displayed on my coffee table. 

Also, a little sneak peak photo of something I found for my partner in crime , that I know for a fact is the only one in existence and was downright made with love!

Here's the loot:

I took these photos on my last day in Calgary.

It was a beautiful day, sunny and just the right temperature, my mom's cat George was on the balcony with me wondering what I was up to. I wish I had taken a picture of him too, he's a big funny beige cat!

It's back to all things Pin Pals now, Sara and I are involved in a group show at the Long Haul studios where we rent a space. This year's theme is "Gauche", so if you're in the neighbourhood Thursday night, stop by and have a beer and check out some great artwork!

Better late than never...

 I accidently packed the camera with me to Calgary this week, and I just found a USB cable amongst the drawer of wires in my dad's office, so I can now share some pics from the Puces Pop show from last weekend, along with a few oldies.

Here's our little display complete with our signature spice rack and a set of perfect wooden peanut and popcorn dishes Sara found at a church sale,

 

Sara's been working on some amazing new drawings and framing them with vintage frames, here's one we collaborated on together,

 

 

Service with a smile!

 

 

A few random pictures were also part of the batch,

 These are ridiculously addictive

 

A neat wooden(!) ashtray I found second-hand

  

And a great drawing-in-process by Sara.

Greetings from (the) Calgary! (suburbs)

Hope to see you there!

We'll be there..and I can almost fully guarantee sunshine and cute things, and maybe even some creepy things. But all around good things!

Birthday Walter

It's Walter's birthday! To celebrate he has a shiny red balloon.

He sometimes sports a red cone hat

Both Walter and his balloon can be found here.

Good day! Good day!
