7-Minute Photoshoots at Pome

After 6 long, hairy, messy months, I finally had the chance to visit my stylist, Shai Dhali at Pome Studio.

Shai helped me realize my dream of a 70s-inspired cut with a modern edge. She also offers 7-Minute Photoshoots starting at $30. Well worth it!

I surprised my husband with a trip to the Vancouver Aquarium on Labour Day. Such inspiring colours and textures can be found in the sea! My favorite “exhibit” was the Coasts of BC. I saw some of the starfish we had spotted on Malaspina Strait last weekend.

Up & Running!

I’m sure I’m the last to know about yearbookyourself.com.

Camping Virgin

I just returned from a 4-day, 3-night camping extravaganza with my mister and in-laws. They are seasoned veterans. My idea of camping is sleeping in a tent in someone’s backyard. They sure did school me! Pit toilets, baked beans (mmm!), and a water jug: I survived. I might even go again!

I’m more successful at the making end of things than the actual pricing/packaging/posting end of things.

Soon! I promise!

My Winnipeg

My Winnipeg

I spent 4 days in July re-exploring the city where I grew up. It was a bit of a shocker, as I hadn’t been in Winnipeg for 10 years and I left the city almost 20 years ago.

I wanted to see if all those places I remember from being a kid would still thrill me and scare me and interest me.

The Leanne at 10 years old and the Leanne at 30 years old are the same person.

I hope to have an Etsy shop update in early August. I’m off to marvel at some architectural history and immerse myself in Canadian history until next week.

Thrift Day

I came across a garage sale this afternoon and found this old plastic button amongst the piles.
The MADE IN CANADA stamp will come in handy for tags for Young Pop Sophisticate Designs.
I am always on the lookout for matryoshkas, and she really caught me eye with her bright colours.
The beautiful enamel bowl was sitting on a table at the garage sale this afternoon. I was drawn to it and knew it was special. Sure enough, the Finel mark was on the bottom, cementing my suspicions. I knew it was old. All I know about Finel/Arabia is that they manufactured in Finland between the 1950s and 1970s. This is definitely not a 1970s version, as most of their product were printed with images. No matter, I still love it.
