Three new announcements!

ALLRIGHT!!!

This weekend is the one day MAKE IT show at the Arts Barn! Saturday 10-5pm, 10330 84th ave.

You can also find me at the St.Albert Market 10-3pm the very same day! What? "How can you be in two places at once?" Because of the awesomeness of Bevurlee from Momobee. You can meet her live and in person at the Majesty booth at Make it! Say Hi!

And you can now buy Majesty Bags at Swish!

Located in Manulife Place, downtown Edmonton.

Swish is my FAVORITE vintage shop in Edmonton, I was very sad when Angela closed the shop to look for a new location last year, but it's back! And it's AWESOME! You can find many wonderful things, typewriters, furniture, accessories and clothing... I admit to almost never leaving without buying something. I love vintage everything it seems.... in my workshoppe I have 50's chrome tables as my cutting tables.... it makes for a nice place to work. Also parking is dirt cheap on Saturdays, so go check out the store! They will be on the cover of Parlor Magazine next issue as well I'm told!

I''m working on some new robots, new cameras, new owls.... lots and lots of new stuff in the works as well as the old favorites..... I hope to have a good selection at Make it and the Market this weekend. I'm also building up stock for a sweet venue called the Fringe! It's 10 days long and in Old Strathcona and I'm excited! If you don't see the perfect bag this weekend.... come to the Fringe, it'll be waiting for you!

OOOXXX Have a super week everybody!

Happy Canada Day-Blog Love...

One of my favorite sellers on Etsy has featured one of my bags on her blog! Due to a little Canada Day celebration my Red and Pink Canadian Warbler bag is getting some love..... 

Rikrak is a fellow seller and also a fellow Canadian! I consider her to be a "Master of the Cloth" because everything she makes is out of the cutest fabric and looks perfect with every stitch. I first noticed her shop during the Christmas season because so many lovely Christmas stockings were being snatched up! My own stocking is as old as I am and I can't get another one untill it gets worn out! But there are many many other wonderful things in her shop, so please check it out!

Blog love can be found here -------> Yeah, right HERE!

Have a super Canada Day everyone... I plan to! OOOXXX

Yay! My Camera Pouch made it to the Front Page of Etsy! Everyone is enjoying the new design this summer.... It seems like I all I am making at the moment are camera pouches, wallets and messenger bags.... (But it's fun and I love it!)

If you want to score your own... come out to the St. Albert Farmers market this Saturday 10-3pm! It's a great market and I have lots of new designs..... hedgies, squirrels.... and the much beloved Camera bag.

She Rests...

Spring shows are over and this means I can devote more time to my regular markets! Come see me and Majesty Goodness over at the City Market on 104th street Saturday 9-3pm! I am right in front of the Blue Plate Diner... my old spot! I will also be at the St. Albert Market starting June 13th! Look for me on St. Anne Street... I am just a few spots down from last year.

And I have a few surprises for you! A new size of Majesty Messenger and a sweet surprise deal, this Saturday when you buy a Messenger you get a Free Mini Pouch! Wow! What are you waiting for?

So you've never been to a farmers market? What are you waiting for?

All you need is:
Comfy shoes
Hat
Sunscreen
Re-usable bag
Cash

See? It's so simple! Anyone can do it!
Come early if you want FRESH BREAD, veggies, flowers, baked goods....
and some of that Majesty Goodness I mentioned above.

I called this post "She Rests" because I had 7 shows this month.... ahh! Some were good, some were not so good, and some were GREAT! The last one was in Calgary at Lilac Fest. I went with one of my favorite artists, Julie Witten-Land.... and we had fun! The festival was WALL TO WALL PEOPLE! I have never seen that many people ever! It was insane! It was like a mosh pit from a Green Day concert got re-routed down 4th street. I sold out of my Camera bags and Wallets and hey, I made more so don't worry! It was also great to hang with Salgato Fenwick and also My Favorite Calgarian. A BIG thank you to Hadijia for providing us with a pretty little place to stay and rest our tired crafting hands and feet. 

The funniest part of the trip was when we stopped for a slurpee and I locked the keys in the car, in the ignition...  with the car running. Sigh. After a few tries to break in with a coat-hanger... AMA saved the day. I felt like such a loser while we waited, drinking a slurpee hanging out at the 7-11 at this age. Sheesh. Maybe back in the 90's... but not now.

Oh no, wait... the funniest part of the Festival was the busker who was RIGHT beside me. She sang "Forever Young" for seriously 4 hours straight. I am not embellishing AT ALL! In a southern twang no less. For 4 hours. I got her autograph... it's not every day you get to meet a one hit wonder.

These mustaches are really getting around... if you know what I mean... hah a. But they WOULD be a GREAT gift for FATHERS day now that I think about it! My dad had a mustache when I was a baby, and yes, that was in the early 80's. I myself don't like facial hair on men, so this is the PERFECT solution. You can always have a mustache with you, but remain clean cut and attractive at all times. YAY! You can get your own from my online ETSY shoppe... right HERE! It's always exciting to see yourself on the front page, and Thankfully Gadgetgirl sent me a note this time! I might have missed it!

Sunny Days and Etsy Front Page 05/16/09

Today was the first day of the Downtown Edmonton Farmers Market! Yay! I was very paranoid it would rain, and be gray, and drizzly and wet and musty and damp and windy and blowy.... the list goes on. But it was actually nice outside today! We even got a little sun, which probably helped to bring the crowds out. I have a spot right in front of the BLUE PLATE DINER which has very yummy food in case you're hungry. I am right beside the Happy Camel, which is a good and bad thing because I love hummus. Sometimes I eat hummus exclusively for a week, then move on to slurpee's or red peppers. Does anyone else do this? Eat one food for a whole week and then move on? Also my next question is--- Has anyone ever lost the feeling in they're finger-tips? I cut out a whole bunch of flowers the other day and when I was done the last section of my ring finger was all tingly. It's been awhile and it hasn't gone away! I'm a little concerned!  Anyhow, regardless of the state of my finger it was a nice surprise to see my mustaches on the front page of ETSY tonight! Yay for the industrious little mustache keyring! OOOXXX

City Market on SATURDAY! May 16th 2009

It's that time again!

The Downtown farmers market starts this week! I am super excited! Here are some gratuitous exclamation marks to show my excitement!

 !    !    !    !    !    !    !    !    !    !    !    !

Now that's out of my system we can get on with things. The market is on 104th street between Jasper Ave and 102 ave, from 9am-3pm Saturdays RAIN OR SHINE. This year I have scratch cards to give out with every purchase. You can get 10% or 15% off your next purchase, a free keyring with next purchase, or a free mini pouch with next purchase. Not a bad deal! I also will have new bags, new styles and designs, new products, and I'm also taking custom orders again! If you like the look of Majesty bags and maybe want one in a different color scheme I can make it happen! If you would like to work together on a unique design just for you, I can make that happen too!

Also.. I am going to have a nice and tidy SALE on ETSY to celebrate my 3 year anniversary selling online.... it's going to be June 19-28th so WATCH OUT for that.

I am really looking forward to seeing my downtown customers again so stop by and say Hello.

 I missed you.

INTERNATIONAL FLUEVOG DAY!!!

That's right! It's May 15th and it's

International Fluevog Day.

Could life get any better than this? I first was introduced to them when I was in High school, and haven't looked back since! Over the years I have purchased a small fortune in Fluevogs and I love each and every pair. I am a shoe snob, I will be the first to admit it. I would rather die than wear bargain shoes. Every single time I try to be thrifty with shoes I vow never to do it again! It's like the bargain shoe hates me and decides to create cuts and blisters just for spite. They never fit well, are made of cheap materials and sometimes smell like plastic. I firmly believe that all shoes are not created equal, and not to say that the price should pay such a factor, but when you buy a pair of well made shoes they last a loooooong time. I have pairs that have lasted me 12 years at least, and since they are never really in style, I'm never out of style! One nice thing about Fluevog is that they have a green and vegan line as well. There isn't a lot of choice, but they are making the effort which still counts!

Here are my TOP 5 PICKS from this season...

 

Yum! I will be celebrating International Fluevog Day myself by wearing my vogs.

Now I just need to decide which ones to wear.... hmm.... OOOXXX
