Picks of the week

These are long overdue! I have been busy planning the everyday gift wrapping workshop. If you are in Toronto, take advantage of this DIY workshop happening on the Danforth! For this week I have got some really cute stuff that I have been pawning over and need to get my hands on asap! Links to the products are at the end of this post.

 I love this display, the use of the crates in such a creative way. I love the look of crates, they are very rustic and give a unique look. The wine barre is tucked in neatly and blends right in and stands out at the same time. I will be using this to inspire my own craft show display.

 I am in love with this apothecary cabinet. I first saw it on tv and called it the 'Guys with Kids' cabinet. After that I saw it as a display at anthropologie. I need to get this in my possession as soon as possible! It would be perfect for my craft room because its full of tiny drawers. I will be scouring thrift shops and yard sales for this gem. It is the best way to organize all the small bits and bobs that come with crafting. 

Weekly Picks

Today I want to share some awesome things! I have found a need for a blazer to pair with my tops. I want to make sure its not too stuffy or fancy because I don't want it to look all professional on a regular day. I found this really nice boyfriend style blazer from Talula (Aritzia). I Love this burgundy colour however I will probably end up getting black so it is more versatile. It has the perfect fit, long enough so your longer tops don't awkwardly stick out, and loose enough that you are not too bothered by the extra layer.The fabric is also really nice, and lightweight.

I also want to really get my hands on this skull face ring by Lazy Oaf (Asos). It is different from the regular skull rings that have been popping up everywhere. I think the little face on it looks cute and not so scary! I also think you can double this as a tube ring by simple turning it around to have it plain gold! I think everyone loves a 2 for 1 deal! Another thing I just got is chunky gold nail polish by OPI (Sephora) and it looks amazing! I used it as a top coat over a coat of nude polish and it was stunning. I love the look of the chunky glitter versus the fine glitter.

A trend in scrap booking and paper products that is popping up all over is wood. Wood veneer used as paper, as ornaments and establishments. These cute wooden feather tags from the great lakes (Anthropologie) I love gift tags and gifting and really like this combination of wood and colour that I showed in last weeks picks. I may pick some of these up today and can't wait! 

Lastly, sticking to the wood veneer theme I will share this purchase from the One of a Kind Show in Toronto. This beautiful print is by the Unik Printshop. They make silk screen prints on wood veneer. I loved this camera wood veneer print. The art of silk Screening is something I can appreciate  I taught myself how to screen Print and it was a long process. The artist drew this image and the print it onto the wood veneer piece. I Love Cameras so I had to purchase this!

Picks of the Week

Ive been a little busy with orders I have been receiving for some products over the last week. I decided I would still put up some picks for this past week. Here is a collection of some new products. I would like to openly declare that I love wallpaper! This metallic stag wallpaper is so beautiful and would add a great warmth to a small space. I can just see it in a small wall above my workspace. Just looking t this had made me want to re-do my craft room with some new wallpaper! I have also shown these cute October Afternoon tin pins for scrapbooking or other crafting. I have a small collection of flat back pins which I usually put into my smash book which I will be sharing soon! I love this set of 5 post card prints from by April and May.  I have been using twine for everything lately and really believe that I should invest in a larger spool, this grey colour is really great because it isn't as stark as black and white and has just the colour to mix and match with everything. Lastly I found this amazing envelope clutch on Etsy with an amazing print on it by Roxy Marj.
