The gorgeous upcycled furniture we have in the store (like the above piece that I drool over daily) is by Blackberry Lane.  JoAnne is having an Open House this Saturday in Cumberland and you're invited....... 

Since discovering atelier b. last winter, the line is becoming a real favourite due to their high quality sustainable fabrics and classic designs.  The organic cotton dress above has a cozy continuous kangaroo style pocket and looks great with a belt.  We have it in dark violet and the grey shown.

We have a gorgeous new line of accessories in the store!  Hand crafted in Montreal, Noujica accessories are made from locally sourced recycled and organic materials.  They feature beautiful patterns and silkscreens made by hand.

The Braided Belt above is also made from reclaimed leather and elastic. It features a screen print across the braided leather.

The Flap Bag above is made from reclaimed fabric and leather with lovely silkscreened details.  The neck warmer and all of the other scarves below are made from a really soft, cozy bamboo and cotton fabric woven in Quebec. 

Noujica Accessories are so adorable, soft and cozy that we didn't want to leave out the little people.......

Too cute!!!  The hats are completely reversible with a different colour on the other side and they're available in sizes 1-2 years and 3-4 years.

Also from Noujica, one-of-a-kind handmade silkscreened glass earrings......
