explorer saturday

as i said before, saturday was a really great day. friday night was immensely foggy, and on saturday morning we all awoke to a frosty city.  i brought my camera out christmas shopping in case i saw something worth catching. i have to add, the osborne biz was giving out free hot chocolate at osborne and stradbrook, and there was a 4-pack of carollers going from business to business. so fun! its so good to see genuine holiday spirit. :) 

a few words about the pictures:

no worries, that pup is just snoozin on the shop counter. he's alright, i petted him!

i wanted to show everyone how messy my room is ALL THE TIME NOW (annoying)

i really loved my saturday outfit and i wanted to share it, but i never really know how to make my face... am i too dramatic? 

i got that vintage broach from my mom to sell in my shop, but i kept it instead ;)

i upcycled a necklace from the thriftstore into the necklace i'm wearing below, and i've decided to keep it as well (for now, at least!). it's a little horse.

happy wednesday, people!

ps. 3 more days until the POP UP

pps 7 more days until christmas!

MAKE

saturday was such a good day. i decided i would try to do all of my christmas shopping in the locally owned shops in my area (NOT finished, y'all) and checked out a very local new place called MAKE on the way.

when i say local, i mean local, because it's about 2 minutes by foot from my front door. i am so overjoyed about this new space. its so snazzy! they're working on a coffee-shop set up (you know, with places to sit) but for now it consists of an espresso bar at the rear, and an interesting display of the locally-made products hung from the ceiling like a baby's crib mobile. the featured products will change every month or so, and i was told Wi-Fi is on the way! the girls graciously let me hang a poster for the POP UP and take a few pictures around the gallery. i may have also picked up a little something (very little) for my baby nephew, who turns 6 months old on Christmas day. what a day to celebrate! :)

on display at MAKE at the moment are local makers tony chestnut by jill sawatzky and for you, me & us by christie peters and jennifer pauls. check out the websites for their rad stuff.

and winnipeg, let's support winnipeggers!
