Getting into Spring 2012.

Just putting the finishing touches on the this weeks creations and thought I'd share some pictures of the beauty happening in the print and sewing studios. New bolts of fabric, prints/ screens and colours coming out for Spring - along with a list of events starting in April, we'll keep you posted!

Happy Friday, go have some f-u-n!

 

Everybody wins is still best for business!

Amongst the hub-bub of Spring - new screens + images, fabrics floating around, boxes being shipped and samples readied for the fast approaching February Fox Fair, a wonderful thought occurs to me. 

It's fun running a business as a Zero- Sum Game.

... because so many of the people I meet through the company become friends... and that leads to doing business in a very friendly way.

Stretching screens until the cows come home...

24 hour SNOW SALE at FGI

Just taking a little break from sewing Air Canada Dresses (remember my 'sincere desire for a snow day'? One that means not making the treacherous 10 minute walk to the print studio in my 'west coast winter' ankle boots...) and thought about how I would LOVE to kick my feet up, have a cup of Earth's Herbal Tea (my fave by far) and peruse the internet for sweet deals on new clothes...

You can see where this is leading...

A SNOW SALE!!!

24 Hours of inside fun! Shop online at FGI for 40% off your entire purchase when you enter promo code SNOWSALE at checkout- until 5pm tomorrow.

Because that's probably how long the snow will stick around!

Here's a list of other things to do for inside fun:

- grilled cheese and soup (with a glass of wine? hey, it's Snow Day!)

- draw a picture of your hand or cat or favorite houseplant

- MAKE A BLANKET FORT

- shovel your walk with a dust pan- wait, that's outside fun. scratch that.

- CLEAN OUT YOUR CLOSET, so you have room for your new Snow Day clothes!

Keep Warm Folks, throw a snowball and have a Ho Cho, Happy Snow!

Hello Hello 2012.
