Vancouver may be gray and rainy this time of year, but there is something soo charming about it. This past weekend, I took a walk in the fog at the park (Stanely) and it felt super cool. Like a pegasus was going to fly out of the forest. For reals. It was quite magical. More people should try to enjoy these foggy days. Growing up in -30ºC and snow I guess makes me really appreciate +1ºC and fog. I wish I had time for 3-4 hour walks everyday. Things would be so much sweeter. Maybe once a week. I could handle that. Here's to 2009 and more walks. I think I need a dog. I guess I could walk my boyfriend. Wait, that sounds rude. What I mean is, he really likes walks... and fetching sticks. [^___^]

Hello lovlies!! Just wanted to give an update on Lemonade's new adventure. We've joined the sweet little collective shop of Shop Cocoon. It's a collective shop of local Vancouver designers where we get to help out man the store and get full profits. It's an adorable collection of amazing jewelry, apparel, handbags, shoes, greeting cards and Lemonade plushies (we're the first plush goodies in the store). So if you're local or visiting Vancouver, come down and check it out. The fun part for the customers is that you get to deal with the designers and request special items and work with any of the specific designers for something special. It's quite fun really. Here are some pics of the Lemonade goodies hanging out in the store (and some special purses that are available in the shop).

Anyhoo, here is the info you need to find it!

whoop! I kinda love fall. It gets me excited about fall fashion. new colours, the reintroduction to cords and tweeds and all those delicious things. I'll post some more fall goods later, but for now here's some cute end of summer goodies I sent out to Nokomis last month. Some delicious little Molly purses for ya! (^____^)

That's right, our website is LIVE! Holy smokes, I was pretty damn happy when that happened. So now, I have a solid and fantastical online store!! Now I'm working on stuffing it full of fabulous products!! I was pretty excited to post a plushie today, a Monkey-Robot Plushie at that!! He's cute and fun, what can I say. And he likes to do curious little things like eat peas from the garden and have late night Star Wars marathons. He's a funny lil' one.

Anyways, tell your friends (and foes!!!) that Lemonade is finally online and ready to ship you some new friends! I'll be updating the website constantly with new purses and plushies and everything fun.

Happy July kiddos!! Here's my webbie site: thelemonadetree.com

I know, that's a long name for a bag. But I like it. And Molly does *heart* spring. Molly was actually my grandma's name. Well she was actually a Mary, but she hated it and preferred to be called Molly. Which I think is an adorable name and she was an amazing crafter. She could knit up a buffalo wool sweater in a blink. Anyhooo, these are my spring/summer purses (late post, I KNOW!) and I think they're darling. The insides are lined with reclaimed sheets and pillow cases. Charming, no?

Just thought I'd post some sweet lil plushies. For some reason, I like how the little lambs look before I add their stuffing. I think they look rather cute flat! ....Things are picking up for Lemonade as the summer comes and we're getting busy, busy! Whoot, whoot! Come visit us at Fab Fair (Heritage Hall, Main St, Vancouver on May 7th and 8th).
And I'm at Portobello West all year long! (last Sunday of every month 12-6 @ the Rocky Mountaineer Station: http://vancouver.portobellowest.com/ )
