Lamp love.

Lately all we can think about is decorating our new shop! If we had our way we would have a wall just full of outlets so we could fill the store with gorgeous mid century lamps! We are totally obsessed! Here are just a few that are on the tops of our dream store wishlist...

Plans for our new shop!

Ahh, we can't believe that October 1st is just around the corner which means that we will be officially opening the doors to our new store location in less than 3 weeks!!! We still have a lot of decisions to make so we are going to be spending the day brainstorming fun design ideas! It may seem a bit overwhelming but this is actually our favorite part! We love decorating and being able to make ourselves at home in a space! We didn't really get to do too many personalizations to our current location so we are excited to go all out with our new permanent location. We have so many ideas floating through our brains right now, but we will keep most of them a secret until we move in and unveil the new shop! However, we will give you a few peeks of what has been occupying our thoughts lately...

For starters... paint! We are HUGE fans of brightly colored walls! We love pretty much all colors so the hardest part is just picking one (or two... or three...) We have about 100 paint chips that we are trying to narrow down to just our absolute favorite colors! 

We are also on the hunt for some great pieces for the new space! Good lighting is super important to us so we made it a top priority to find some amazing lamps to decorate the shop with! We are still currently on the hunt for some cute display cases and we still need to design and make some shelving units!

Everything is coming together very nicely and we can't wait to show you the end result! Stay tuned for more shop peeks in the coming weeks!

There's something in the water.

We are really lucky girls. We have some of the most amazing friends on the planet and we love the city that we live in. Lots of people don't understand how we can live in a place with the most drastic temperatures, and not a lot to do (especially once temperatures drop) but we beg to differ! There's something magical about this small city and the friendly people that call it home.

Winnipeg has some of the most creative people that we know; maybe there's something in the water? We think that because it's a small city (more like a really big town) everyone seems to know everyone, and we feed off of each other's creative energy.

 Here's a peak at some of our wonderfully talented friends that live in Winnipeg (or nearby) that are doing what they love, and are doing it well! 

Our friend Nils Vik just opened the most beautiful coffee shop, Parlour Coffee this last week. 

Lucky for us it's right around the corner from our shop! 

Great coffee, great people and a great space; what a perfect combo.  

I (Erin) am not a big fan of coffee, but I am really confident that Parlour Coffee will make me a believer, and we wish Nils all the best! Welcome to the neighbourhood buddy!

If you live in this lovely city, go and check it out people, you won't be disappointed!

Some newer friends of ours, Jessie & Tyler Thiessen of One + One Design are going to be launching their website really soon and we are so excited to see it!
They are a newly married duo that do amazing wedding (and other events) stationary design and illustration!

We're already talking about some kind of collaboration in the future, and we're can hardly wait! They are going to do big things, we can feel it in our bones!

Check out their amazing work here:

The photo of Jessie & Tyler above (they have the cutest logo ever!) was taken by our other new and talented friend Rosie of  Simply Rosie Photography!

We met her a couple weeks back when she came to us to borrow some outfits and props for a photoshoot she was working on. Here's a peak from that shoot! We can't wait to see more!

They call me Mellow Yellow.

It's a lovely sunny early-autumn morning here in Winnipeg, and we are feeling well-rested after our long weekend and are in the mood for bright and cheery colors! So here's a little bit of yellow to start your day off right!

These cute yellow school supplies make us wish we were packing our backpacks and going back!

Ohh, if only I had a land line...

Mmm.. this lemon layer cake looks absolutely delicious!

Feel like having a baking day? Recipe here.

Whoa. We can't get enough of these bold yellow striped walls!

The very pretty Katie looks amazing in everything but we especially love

this cute yellow dress!

Mustard typewriter. Need I say more?

...and of course we had to throw in a little trailer inspiration!

We are in love with the beautiful paint job on this 1950 Vagabond trailer!

Happy Tuesday! xo
