Christmas Shows coming up!

Wow, it's hard to believe, but Christmas is just around the corner. Though I feel like I've been getting ready for it for a while at the store! I've got new stock arriving daily at Gingerly and new jewelry that I've been creating and displaying from Gingerly Designs as well.

There are a few great shows coming up in November and December that I'm doing with Gingerly Designs, that I wanted to remind everyone about.

The first is Fab Fair. This great local show is featuring over 40 local designers and admission is only $2! You can get more details on the website http://www.fabfair.ca or the Facebook invite

The two other shows are the Portobello West Christmas shows. They are both two day shows and are 2 weeks apart, November 28-29th and December 12 - 13th at the Rocky Mountaineer Station in Vancouver. More details can be found at http://www.portobellowest.com

Hope to see you all there!

New stock and new jewelry

There are so many new things arriving at the store every day this time of year. I love having a smaller space because that means I get to have a high rotation of stock. Check out the the new Facebook album with some store pictures.

I've also been busy getting some new jewelry made for Portobello West this weekend. Have you ever been before? Its really not to be missed. Over 100 local designers all under one roof. It takes place this Sunday at the Rocky Mountaineer Station on Cotrelle St. in Vancouver from 12 - 6pm. Admission is only $2 but if you want some complimentary door passes just comment on this post and we can hook you up!

Gingerly Designs Fall 2009 Line

stick it to me

What is better than hanging a great framed print or painting on your wall? Why, sticking one to it of course! I have seen quite a few vinyl wall decals in the last little while at home decor stores, but none has tickled my fancy like the ones from artist Jenn Ski. I absolutely love her retro style. She has a great ">etsy page as well as a lovely blog which I follow daily. Once again, sigh...

The above decals are available in a number of colors on Jenn's etsy page for only $12 USD

shifts and roses

Well with all this lovely weather I had to succumb to shaving my legs... I'm sure you all can relate. So I thought, why not start wearing dresses (I have really stocked up in the last year or so) I am enjoying the retro feel of some of the cuts this season, especially this lovely shift dress from narcissist.com

oh and while you're at it, pair them with these lovely rose studs from Gingerly Designs


"Giselle" dress - $155, Rose studs - $21

summer deck parties please...

It's about this time of year when I spend a portion of my day trying to find leaves budding on trees. I guess a part of me feels like I will be relieved of this prolonged winter blues syndrome I and others seem to be suffering from this year, when I see my first leaf.
This flowered enameled picnic wear from www.vivaterra.com made me just a little excited as I dreamed of sitting on my patio drinking all sorts of calorie chalked drinks. Bring on summer, I'm ready... really... I mean it.

Enamel Cups (set of 4) - Blue, Red, Yellow, Green - $55
Enamel Flower Pitcher - Blue - $45
Enamel Flower Tray - White - $39

my clock obsession

As a child, I was always fascinated my my Grandma's cuckoo clock. It was a genuine German one, straight from the Black Forest... I think she still has it. I wonder now if she would part with it, it would look lovely in my kitchen. However, if she won't there there are more modern options. sigh...

Top to bottom: Albero $350.00 (from www.momentoitalia.com), Bristol Cuckoo Clock$29.95 (from www.moderndose.com), Kalimero $529.00 (from www.momentoitalia.com)

I heart blooms

the "megan" lariat necklace, $21

The "Megan" bracelet, $20

I love Spring and flowers and well jewelry. So a combination of all three from The b-line on etsy had me excited. I love the simplicity of these pieces. There are tons more to view, including magnets on the b-line's shop

not just for clovers

So I go through "colour phases" where I am attracted to one colour and everything that I buy in this phase is this colour and all I can think about is this colour. So here is this colour and you might see it around here for a while...
