Main Street Pop-Up Shop!

 

I am going to be part of a pop-up shop which is opening this week!! Sorry about the short-notice: we didn't have a lot of notice about getting the space, and then I got very sick this last week and am only now re-joining the real world! :)

The shop is in a brick building at 4570 Main street, Vancouver, B.C.  The building may not be the prettiest thing, but it will be filled with so many treasures! It will be open February 15 - March 31st. Our hours will be: 

Tues & Wed 11am - 6pm

Thurs 11am - 8pm

Fri 11am - 6pm

Sat 10am - 6pm

I will be there Thursdays, Fridays & Sundays. There is a Facebook page for the shop as well as an event for the grand opening this Saturday!

What will you find in the shop? Handmade, vintage, fair-trade goods and supplies from:

Honeywild handmade jewelry

Anthropologie Pet Adoption Event!

Anthopologie, one of my favourite stores, is holding pet adoption & pet supply drives at many of their locations this September! I think this is SO AWESOME, you guys! Not only is it great that people will get to meet some sweeties looking for their forever families and maybe meet someone they'd like to take home, not only will supplies be collected for pets in need, but even bigger than those things, more people will be introduced to rescue pets and realize how great they are! I think it's very cool of Anthro to hold an event like this. To me rescue/adoption is just kind of obvious but lots of people are still stuck in the "get a pet from a pet store or Kijiji" frame of mind, and if that changes for even a few people, that's super! So thank you, Anthopologie, from the bottom of my sucker-for-animals heart. The Vancouver event will be at Anthropologie (2912 Granville st.) on Saturday, September 22nd from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. To find an event near you, check out their page here.

Can't make it to an event but are on the hunt for a new furry friend? Check out Petfinder: most shelters and rescues post their adoptable pets there and you can search by pet type, breed, age...  It's great!

Get friendly with your library!

I've donated a necklace to a silent auction at a fundraiser that benefits the North Vancouver District Library branches. It's called "Make Friends with Your Library!" and it will be at the Cedar Grove Restaurant (1255 Lynn Valley Road, in the library square) in North Vancouver. It's from 6-9:00pm, and features the silent auction, live music by Robbie Burns, door prizes and more! Ten percent of food and non-alcoholic beverages go to the fundraiser as well. I hope to see you there, it will be fun!



This necklace (which you will see at the auction!) is named after the main character in The Secret-Keeper, an illustrated children’s book by author Kate Coombs. The book is available at the Lynn Valley Library and I highly recommend you check it out, it’s a great story!
