it's friday - and for us canadians it's the start of a long weekend. we normally go away, but my siblings went to the cottage and I didn't want to leave my folks alone for the weekend, I already feel badly about leaving them when we go to ny, but the next long weekend in august we are all going to the cottage, so that will be fun. my mom talked about going to centre island on sunday, but I'm a bit hesitant, the line up to get on the ferry is pretty insane, and with small kids it's not fun. we'll probably be working in the studio and doing some loafing in the park. I hope you have fun things planned.
I wanted to also mention that the triangle zip tote is available for pre-order.
I wanted to do a small giveaway and I hope you will leave a comment to enter. the random winner will be announced on tuesday. since summer is upon us I wanted you to have a few essentials to make your outings organized. a small triangle day bag along with our popular snap wallet.
have a fantastic weekend! happy canada day, happy pride xxa
