Hey Radfans,

Just wanted to let you all know about the upcoming Portobello Summer Market!

It’s all happening this weekend, May 25th and 26th at the  Creekside Community Recreation Centre in Vancouver.                                                    I will be there showcasing some of my newest one of a kind creations!

I am looking forward to catching up with all of you!

It will be an amazing market and I have the honour to share it with over 40 other local artists and designers. The weather has been great in May, long may it continue for the rest of the summer. It is the perfect opportunity to come by and hang out with awesome people and pick yourself up something great that you can rock during the beautiful summer days that we are going to have (I’ve got a feeling!!)

There will also be live music and great food !!

We will be located at Booth number 6.

Cut out the ad from this week’s Georgia Strait paper and you will get free admission.

cheers!

Have a safe week and I hope to see you at the end of it!

Open House at Rock Bay Square information

hi gang!

wow, what a busy time of year, and i’m sure that you’re all feeling the same.

we have a busy weekend here as well, so i won’t keep you long:

in 2007 i took a workspace in a really cool building in the (then) seedy industrial area of Victoria, sharing with 2 other artists. we made messes, music and mayhem…then there were two..and we kept making music, and moved into a bigger, airier space upstairs in the same building. Eventually i had the space all to myself, high above the street, on the 3rd floor, and there were even more artists up there! it was very productive, but i felt a bit diconnected from my buyers, so when a small storefront opened up downstairs i jumped on it. i’ve been in the storefront for 14 months, and i love it! i do miss the solitude of the 3rd floor sometimes, when it gets really busy in here. but having had creative spaces on all three floors, i got to meet loads of other creative folks. this place is a bustling hive of activity! and the neighbourhood is bustling too, with designers, furniture makers, high tech designers and much, much more! here at Rock Bay Square, we’ve all been getting ready for this weekend, because we’re opening the doors, handing out snacks, samples, and sharing contacts as we invite you to check out our workspaces, and our work!

come find us at 2614 Bridge st, between Hillside and John, just before the Bay st bridge.

we’ll be open friday 4-8pm, and saturday 12-5. the parking restrictions have been lifted for Bridge st and John st, so you can wander and explore without having to worry about getting a ticket.

cheers,

have a safe weekend, and hope to see you soon!

Hello lovely Radfans!

let me first of all wish you a very happy Autumn! Here in Victoria it has been sunny and warm pretty much non-stop, but we are definitely feeling the creeping chill in the mornings and evenings. i’m certainly not complaining, as fall is my favourite time for fashion! i love sweaters, coats and jackets, and also the fact that i can get away with wearing a waistcoat over my button up shirts without feeling the sweaty retribution of summer heat.

but enough about me, this post is about YOU! that’s right, you, my lovely and supportive fans! in honour of our first anniversary of having a “brick and mortar” storefront, as they say these days, i would like to have a contest!

if you send me a photo of yourself proudly wearing your Radjuli Bag (or belt, or cuff, or guitar strap, orrr….) i will enter your name in a draw for a $100 gift certificate that you can use either in the store or in the Etsy shop!

The winner’s photo will also be posted both here on the blog, and also on the Radjuli Custom Designs Facebook Page!

PS, you get extra draw entries for everytime you share the contest!

good luck, happy October, and see you out on the road!

It’s time! the days are getting (ever-so-slightly) shorter, the mornings are crisper, and there are so many fruits and veggies available at your local farmer’s market! This all leads me to believe it is getting close to fall, my favourite time of year! i can dust off my jacket, pull the thick tights out of the back of the drawer, polish up my boots, and bring all my fabulous new bags to Fort Langley to show them off at the fall Bloom Market!

i am so excited to be a part of this market, and i hope that some of you can make it out! i will be joined at my booth by the lovely and talented Tousled Dolly, featuring her new pretty baubles for fall!

as always, you can see what i’ve been making on Etsy or follow me on Facebook, but it’s always my preference to show off in person!

all the best, and hope to see you soon!
