So I meant to post this a long time ago, but got a little distracted. Here's my lamp post!! (ha-ha) I was super excited when I finally found some lampshades to go with my favorite lamps. They're mustard yellow and velour lampshades. Delish. Yes, they're from ikea, but sometimes, ikea is fabulous. (okay, i sometimes, i really love ikea products). I aquired these amazing lamps from a co-worker years ago but never got proper shades for them! Now they're all grown up. And I had to get those cute lil cushions to sit on my couch. And the cute lil squirrel salt and pepper shakers? (hiding at the base of the lamp) A pressie from the boy last christmas. smiles (someone is super awesome)

Heeey All!! I just had to be a nerd and report I saw Tegan and or Sara shoping at Portobello West Market yesterday. The shoppers were slow (but it's that time o' year, and this recession is a beeech), but I kinda peeed my pants when I saw her with I think was her mumma. Yay! Unfortunately, my stuff wasn't cool enough for her to check out. I guess you can't wear plushies on stage very well. (but you could try, my mouse has velcro you know....)

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
