spring one of a kind show

one of a kind show - some images of booths that I saw (I'm partial to texiles) - it was nice meeting up with friends and chatting about business and life. one of my must visit was to see Roisin - I posted one of her lovely dresses below - she has a great sense of colour and design - it's hard not to fall in love (thanks for the lovely gifts for ll&p) I met Aneela at Sheridan - one of the nicest people I've met at the school - she is currently an artist in residence at Harbourfront and will be one of our featured artist for the month of june - I look forward to the work she will be showing. a booth that caught my eye was the work of Kessa of Patouche - this was Kessa's first OOAK show and she did a great job merchandising the work and the great fresh designs - I particularly loved the tree made out of her remnants (I know the photo doesn't show how beautiful it looked) check out her website - such beautiful product shots. I'm sure we will see more of her work. Great chatting with you Kessa! it was great to see Meghan's new work as always - I wish I had a room in my house that looked like her booth and could choose a different bag each day to wear. Hoping to collaborate with you soon!

  1. Those bags are beautiful. Lovely. I went to her site and loved the Ellington bag. Not too badly priced either; but I just bought a new Hayden Harnett bag during their crazy spring sample sale. :)

    I'll have to keep these in mind next time around.

    I visit your blog a lot, but hardly comment. You are so talented. Love your designs. I wish I lived close enough to come to a screen printing workshop. Why can't you be in Winnipeg? That's only a couple hours north of me. haha
