With every season comes change

 
A few things have changed these days.  Bringing a whole new meaning to the name Pin Pals,  I've moved far away to Denver, Colorado.  Pin Pals will still be based in Montreal so we'll still be keeping up shop and chatting online.  It's going to be a new and exciting chapter in the land of Pals where one Pal is in Denver (a lot of big mountains) and one in Montreal (one cute little mountain). 

Denver is a great city and I'm living in an amazing area full of used book stores, vintage boutiques and restaurants.  I also live close by to my new favorite craft and fabric shop, Fancy Tiger.  I've already taken advantage of their free craft night and I'm looking forward to taking some of the great workshops they offer so I can learn how to crochet or maybe even to properly sew a skirt!

Well, even though the leaves are turning orange in Montreal it feels like summer here in Denver.  But warm weather can't stop Halloween and in the spirit of Halloween, I've added this sad pumpkin to our Etsy shop.  He's a drawing that I printed on to fabric using Spoonflower, and I stuffed him with cotton from Fancy Tiger.  He's so fun to hold onto and he has lovely long and skinny legs, making him a super fun dance partner.

And in the spirit of the season, wouldn't these sweetly stitched acorn buttons be perfect addition to your fall cardigan?

And, another reason to love this time of year, Puces Pop!  Our favorite craft fair.  It's this weekend.

As the website explains, it's Montreal's largest do-it-yourself festival where people can come and celebrate all types of independent creation! Proudly going into its sixth year, Puces POP takes place during the last two days of the POP Montreal Music Festival, and features a marketplace where over one hundred local and international artists, crafters, and indie record labels come to sell their wares. In addition, Puces POP hosts several other events such as Lil Biz (a business seminar for artists and craftspeople), Fashion POP and the Record Fair & Gear Swap!

Sam will be there with our wares so be sure to stop by.

 That's all from Denver!  I'll be sure to post some pics soon, there are some beautiful neon signs in this mile high city.  Phew, I'm out of breath!
