After craft show mania I've been trying to catch up on all my personal holiday crafting. I've failed on the decorating front and this little tree is the only way you can tell it's Christmas around here. That and the GIANT mess that has consumed my apartment. You won't see those pictures.

I send out Christmas cards every year and even when I'm really busy, I'm so glad I make the time to do it. It really is nice to be able to sit down and write to all the people who make my life wonderful. And who doesn't love Christmas mail? Especially when it has goofy smiley faces on it?

Casted some last minute gifts for my sisters (shhhh- don't tell). This is what it looks like before I polish them up and make them pretty. Will I have time to finish these? Let's just hope I have some Christmas magic working for me.

Sandi and I gifted ourselves each a pair of super sharp scissors for Falconwright and it may be the best thing I've ever done. Cuts through leather like butter- LOVE IT.

And one last bit of holiday news- Sandi and I are giving away these lovely things to one lucky person over at the Falconwright blog. Enter before Christmas Eve to win these beauties as a gift for yourself.

Happy Holidays!!

City. Of. Craft.

I don't even know where to begin...  This weekend at the show I met so many wonderful people, bought wonderful things from wonderful people and sold wonderful things to wonderful people. The response we got from everyone to both Caboto and Falconwright blew me away and we were so happy to be among such amazing creative talent at the show. Big thanks and hugs all around.

We didn't take photos of our stuff (of course) but Celine Kim was the show photographer and took the top three pics of us and our wares (not only is she a fabulous photographer but a super cool person too :). I look a bit mean in the bottom photo (from the great photo booth put together by these guys at the show) but it's actually just a look of pure exhaustion on my face. I feel like the sleep I got last night was the best I've had in months. I plan on catching up on all my missed sleep for a while :)

Christmas less than a month away. Whoa.

Why is it when I have a million things to do I end up on the internet? 

This baby is from a 70s craft book I borrowed from a friend. 

I'm feeling a little like him right now- holidazed. 

Handmade Holiday on the weekend was a wonderful success! So many awesome people, lots of yummy food from Miss Cora's Kitchen and so many talented crafters! I picked up a few things from some of my favourite makers and sellers- vintage stamps from send more mail, tea towels from Bespoke Uprising, prints from Deadweight and more prints from A Floating World. 

Next weekend is City of Craft and you'll find me and Mike peddling our wares there again next weekend. Hopefully I will make it there in one piece :) Hope to see you there!!
