Workshop hearts new jewellery

We just got in some new jewellery from Fine and Good (Toronto) and Jessie Turner (Vancouver). We've been restocked with some tried and true favourites and some new styles too. We have some adorable lampwork glass and sterling hearts from Aimee from Fine and Good along with some beautiful silver and gold swallow pieces and some silver moon pendants.


Great minds must think alike because we just got a bunch of super cute heart necklaces from Jessie as well. We have them in gold, silver and silver with patina. She also sent us some of her bangles with different textures!

We have tons of new stuff in this week including new skirts from Snoflake (Toronto), a brand new batch of comfy jersey items from Kania (Ottawa), MJanne Couture(Winnipeg) and Amber Leigh (Calgary). They are going fast so get in quickly to get the best picks!

Sweet treats from Candi Factory

We finally have a new shipment from Candi Factory!


We have a huge assortment of the most adorable undies for men and women. They are made of super comfy and breathable microfibre that look and feel great. Bridget and I are both big fans of the line and can say that these undies last forever and feel amazing on!

Here is a bit of info about Candice of Candi Factory:
Candice Levine is a maker of pretty things who hails from Toronto. In the 90’s Candice earned a B.A. in philosophy from the University of Western Ontario and a degree in Fashion Design from Parsons School of Design, NYC.

Since she makes a funny face when attacked by an itchy piece of fabric, Candice created the candi factory to experiment in super-cute softness and occasional polka-dots. These lovable underthings and other things are made from scratch in her King West Studio.

Candice likes rock n’ roll, chocolate, power tools, and Thursdays. She loves her factory adviser/husband Shreve, her studio assistant/cat Gomez and the Rheostatics (a fine example of Canadian art rock, and also the best band that ever was).
