we just received a new order of polish from butter and there are lots of great colours for fall ($17 each). we also received some lovely new orla kiely stationery and have restocked OK pencils & pencil cases (at long last). oh yes, new fluxus, curator and modaspia arrivals too.
last week we were in whistler for a couple of days with family. sunshine, bikes, beer, hiking, swimming and of course product testing (below). have you guys ever been to the scandinave spa in whistler? it was my first visit there and i can’t wait to go back-the eucalyptus steam room was incredible. i should warn you, there’s no talking allowed (although some people simply could not resist the urge to speak…and for the record, whispering is actually worse than talking). the point is, it’s not a place to go with your girlfriends if you want to catch up, but it’s a great place to visit solo.
my new orla kiely weekender was perfect!

for no particular reason i’d never been to lynn canyon. but last week my family was in town from oregon & we decided to pay a long overdue visit. we all thought it was a great spot to visit on the north shore…and it’s free!
(rich and i had the boys so we didn’t go across the bridge. that and we’re both scared of heights.)
we’ve received our first fall order of scarves from tilo in toronto and this heart print (wool/silk $125) has my name all over it. in store now, online soon. we received our first shipment from curator too and once again the izzy tops are flying off the rack. come visit :) xox
if you’re looking to adopt a kitty or know anyone who is, please get in touch. this lovely lady named luna is looking for a new home. she currently lives in deep cove and is an indoor/outdoor girl, about one year old and spayed. please leave me a comment if you’re interested in this pretty girl and i’ll put you in touch with luna’s family for more info. xox
update: luna found her new home!
if i were making a “room6 greatest hits” mixed tape, dottyspeck would be on it. i’ve loved kim’s collection for years and it remains one of my favorites.
this week we received our first autumn/winter 2012 shipment from orla kiely…and the hits just keep on coming! i love the bright pink lining detail in the gorgeous sixties stem print in plum-it totally reminds me of my favorite matchbox ever. quantities are limited and i’m told orla kiely has much less stock than in previous seasons (for example, the tapestry print is nearly sold out for the season so i won’t be able to reorder anymore in that group.) more soon. xox
fiona is at the olympics (as a fan, she just missed qualifying for the shot put) – and summer has definitely arrived in vancouver! today’s high temp is 28C/83F…anyhoo…rich and the boys insisted that i close up shop sunday/monday to soak up some of the late-to-arrive summer sun. i’ll be in the shop today (saturday) from 10-5, then CLOSED SUN/MON and back to regular hours on tuesday. hope you guys have a great weekend and happy bc day! xox
