Hello Team Rad!

just a quick note to let you all know that i’ll be at One of A Kind in Vancouver this year,

Join me in celebrating and supporting over 300 independant artisans and craftspeople!

Just a few more days ’til the Bloom Holiday Market! Join us this Sunday from 11 am to 5pm at the Fort Langley Community Hall for a fun, fantastic day of shopping with over 40 independent artists, designers, and crafters. 

Admission is $2.5 for adults with partial proceeds towards SOS Children’s Village BC. We’ll also have a silent auction, gift wrapping, children’s crafts, music, demos, and food. So come on down to the Bloom Holiday Market this Sunday in Fort Langley!

“like” us on Facebook! www.facebook.com/BloomPromotions  

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!

Hello everyone, and here’s wishing you a happy middle of  February! it’s half over!

In the last month, i’ve learned and performed an entire album by They Might Be Giants, participated in several Victoria Flea Markets, and just this past weekend, helped out my most favourite group of burlesque performers, the Cheesecake Burlesque Revue!

Looking forward, this week i’ll be doing brolesque (it’s a bit gender-bendy) at Logan’s Tavern of the Damned for a fabulous event called Girls Girls Girls, an annual event organized by the inimitable J. McLaughlin and Sarah Rhude. Two days later, on saturday February 19th, i’ll be debuting a femme burleque solo(!) as well as playing Maya Papaya‘s cheating husband in Burlesque-o-rama, at the Victoria Event Centre!

Tired yet?! pfffft-try to keep up! *laugh* just kidding- ok, and the last-(oh, wait, second to last) event in February, i’ll be selling some fantastic vintage clothing, accessories and Radjuli Custom Designs at the Vintageous Fair at the Fernwood Community Centre on february 26. Later that night will be  the first performance in 2011 of Ballista, the heaviest stoner rock to come out of Victoria since…well…i’m not sure, i’ve only lived here 4 years and i can’t remember ever seeing a really heavy band here. But could be just because i don’t really get out much *laugh*

At the show, we’ll be debuting our new bassmaster-tyler piercy- as we open up a killer lineup of Rorschach, Mendozza and my favourite shredders from Vancouver, Ancients!

well, that’s all for now, hope to see you out and about-i’ll be a busy, busy Radjuli for the next 3 months!

love love love,

and thank you for all that you do!

so, we had a fabulous time at One Of A Kind,

thank you all so much to everyone who came out, and a big ‘hello!” to all of the new friends i made!  it was so much fun!

if you’re new to the blog,

welcome, and if you’re familiar with my writing, thanks for sticking around!

we also experimented with new markets by vending at two Make It! shows in Alberta this past november;

both were excellent shows, and great learning experiences for me,

and i’m happy to report we collected a new store from the Calgary show: Bali Bling in Black Diamond, which is located south of Calgary! pop by, say hi to Jake, and check out my leather cuffs, as well as all sorts of unique gift items!

Speaking of new stores, we collected a new hotspot in Vancouver: Two of Hearts Boutique on Main Street! thanks to Tabitha and Jenny for being such great neighbours at One of A Kind! Shopping at Two Of Hearts, you can find unique gifts, such as pendants made of vintage maps, outfit yourself in beautiful made-in-Vancouver clothing, and try on my leather cuffs!

since i got back to the studio, i’ve been hard at work making new bags-thank to lots of feedback from all three shows!

here are a couple for you:

thanks again to everyone, and talk to you soon!
