There’s a Hole in My Bucket June 8, 2009

Or should I say there’s a “head” in my bucket?

Yes, another plug for Milk Factory, but listen, we want to keep our local market robust.

The Milk Factory Bucket Hat has arrived. I have blogged about the many benefits of Milk Factory clothing before and we have combined artistic forces for our Milkseed project. I love Milk Factory clothing because you don’t have to put it in a clothes dryer. It hang dries like a dream. Local and smart makes me happy. But listen! My son did not take the hat off the moment it touched his head! That is a miracle! He actually asked for it yesterday when the sun broke through the clouds (joyous operatic choir sounds). If you have a child that refuses to wear hats, this could be your hat. Its so light they hardly notice it on their heads. It wicks moisture away. . . what more could you ask for in a child’s hat? hhmmmm a bike on it?

Throw Stones? No, Three Stones! June 2, 2009

Something for mommies:

Okay so not every thing is available in organic, but supporting local designers is important too. I do happen to have my favourites. Three Stones is a Vancouver label that makes jackets and hoodies that make people swoon. . . no really, my Three Stones hoodie made people stop me in the street.

AAAAND they are having samples sales. Cannot wait! (BTW cash only all sales final)
