Lately

We adopted a little cat last year, on my daughter's birthday! his name is Ronbon and he's the cutest thing. We love him so much and he makes a great part of our family. 

Don't you feel sometimes like there's is so much going on at nothing really, at the same time? 

The last months of 2016 were extremely busy, as they are. Then for the holidays we were planning on taking a break from all work and concentrate a bit on resting and get some house projects done too but that didn't work out as we all got sick. First it was my husband, then Amelia, then it was my turn and for a nice closing, my husband got sick AGAIN. it was terrible, I think we got the flu + sinus infections. So after such holidays we felt so tired! right now we are good, feeling like ourselves again and focusing on some projects.

I want to do so many thing this year, mainly working in two collections that I have already designed and launching my website. Maybe even re-work on my branding, give it a bit of an update. And taking a nice vacation aboard, in a warm place preferably.

I wish you the best 2016!

Venue

Today Michelle (organizer) and  I went to take some photos of our venue for Etsy: Made in Canada. It's such a beautiful building and I hope vendors and visitors love and enjoy the space.

The venue is called Locoshop Angus, a 100 year-old industrial building that once was a manufacturing plant for railcars and the Valentine tanks for the Russian army during second world war. Now it houses tons of creative enterprises and on their beautiful atrium (where our show it's going to take place), seasonal fashion shows and markets. The atrium features amazing industrial details like steel columns, riveted steel beams, concrete floors and a super high ceilings.

Here are some of the photos I took! I hope you like this space as much as I do and don't forget to sign up for our mailing list to receive more details about Etsy: Made in Canada in Montreal!

Outside of the building. The entrance is where those blue flags are.

Outside of the building, look at all those arches, steel beams and rivets! 

This is what you see when you enter the building.

I love the details of the steel columns. 

Looking up.

Thanks so much to Meli from the Montreal Etsy Team for scoring this beautiful venue for us and thanks so much to Technopole Angus for allowing us to plan and use your amazing atrium for our upcoming market!
