Market + Organic Inspo

Such a lovely weekend!  Friday evening was spent prepping for Saturday's market here in St. John's. Some last minute fabric printing, sewing, and product labeling at home.









An early start on saturday morning and, thankfully, the weather was great! A balmy zero degrees Celsius and the sun shone down on the town. Setting up my display for Some Good Market (https://www.facebook.com/SomeGoodMarket)  at 9:30 a.m. and everything was good to go for the 10 a.m. start.  Thank goodness for my friends who helped me tote all my bags around during my first markets in 2013 and, nowadays, my boyfriend who is the builder and assembler of my more elaborate display.  A full day of meeting new people and chatting about local craft, it was fun!

Remember, my studio is open to the public Tuesday to Sunday 10 am - 4 pm.

Sunday has been time away from a typical work day but still working, nonetheless. A day of gathering photos for inspiration - organic shapes, natural images, color palettes that I'd like to use in new bags.

The woods around Torbay, NL are mostly covered in a sheet of ice, quietly sleeping through this winter warp. But, if you can brave the chill, it is well worth the slippery trek. Picture a tangle of gray (almost white), smooth branches. I get the sense that fairies and leprechauns love this time of year when the woods are silent and dream-like (I don't really believe in leprechauns anymore but, if  you know me well then you know that I used to believe!).   

Anyhow, the photo ops await you and I'd love to see some more photographs of outdoor winter gems if anyone has one to share.

  1. Hi Megan,

    It's Lana here from SGM. I was wondering if you have an email address that I can contact you with. I wanted to chat with you about sewing machines. I've been doing a little research and wanted to chat with you first since we work with similar materials and are doing very similar types of sewing!
