Bad Girl!
Hello Everyone!
Well, yes...I have been a very bad girl and I'm sorry...REALLY! I have been slightly busy, just a tad!
I have opened a shop, YES A SHOP! I can't believe it myself somedays...
It's called Forsya Boutique and Gallery and it's in Vancouver on Main Street at 6th Avenue. We've been open for about 5 months now and what a journey and what a response from the public...it has been wonderful in every sense of the word.
Still doing graphic design, animation, custom sewing, my own line and running the shop in every aspect almost by myself...you could say, I'm busy. My husband helps me ALOT and I have a girlfriend picking up a shift for me a week to give me a bit of a break. I have some great supportive friends around me, which makes this whole process a little less overwhelming.
PLEASE come check out the website and come visit the shop and say hi!
We sell ALL CANADIAN designers from Victoria, Vancouver, Montreal and Ontario so far. Everything from clothing, accessories, jewellery as well as Canadian authored and published books! It's also a gallery and we show a new artist or group of artist every 6 weeks, we have an opening night for them and a silent auction, alot of fun! We have some great sales on right now of summer stock up to 50% off and we have some great new fall items in. We will have the rest of our fall stock in a couple of weeks and we are bringing in a couple menswear lines, clothing, accessories and even some simple jewellery!
So, please check it out here and we'll see you soon, stay tuned!

Mastercard and Visa OH MY!
Well, it's official...I'm a business! Something about being able to accept credit cards now that makes me feel just a little more professional. As soon as my online shop is up and running we will be accepting paypal there.
So, if you are in the Vancouver area and want to purchase something, just contact me, pop by the studio and pay by credit card...its just that easy :) No more worrying about shipping and handling and waiting for your purchase that you want to wear right now!
We also offer custom sewing that will allow you to have something professionally made that fits you exactly to your measurements and specifications. Don't forget there is free alterations with all clothing purchased and we also offer general alterations. Please contact me for more information and price lists.
YAY credit cards!

Adhesif's Annual Studio Sale!
I can't believe I'm sharing this with all of you, I should be keeping this to myself so I can buy everything!
But seriously, this only happens once a year and it happens THIS WEEKEND, so you don't want to miss it.
I actually do some manufacturing for Adhesif and because everything I make for her is one of a kind designed by her, I tend to fall in love with every piece. Because of this I don't want to give them back to her...sadly I always do, or I would never be paid!
This is your chance to get out there and support local design and get a great deal at the same time!
See you there!
