for the month of july!









hello!
happy first of july, happy canada day!






i had words all mapped out for you today.
thoughts on canadian summers
on oceans and lakes and days at the beach.
on trips to the cabin and nights by the fire.
on red skies at night and on sailor's delights.
but instead, here i am with something much more fun!








something new for your desktop!
from shanna and me, to little ol' you
a calender for july, all shiny and new.
or find the download here.







i was so honoured when she
asked me to take part in a little project for july. truly.
i'm a long time fan of her work
of her aesthetic and all round, just of her.
so thank you, miss shanna! you've made my month.












 
there you go,
over and out and happy july!
xox, n.

but since it's summer, i'm having ice cream instead.

Hi Nikole,

I just read about your website and blog in Chatelaine and your story really is an inspiration.
I live in the downtown Toronto core and love the St. Lawrence market, I also love the way you have designed your apartment.

I love the rustic look to it and also the actual apartment layout itself, I was wondering if you could tell me what area I could find an apartment such as yours, is it close to Farmer's Market? I'm looking to move out of mine but all the apartments I have found downtown seem to revolve around an 80's kind of design or very modern, nothing with the rustic look of yours.

thank you,

hi nikole! dunno if you remember me but my name is michelle and i met you at the last rummage trunk sale at the workroom. i had purchased a cookie cutter from you online awhile back and i finally had the chance to use it this weekend! i had a lot of fun making (and eating) the cookies and my friends and i thought your shortbread recipe was super delicious. here is a picture if you'd like to see!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/grandmaindustries/4788386380/ . i also added chocolate chips and cinnamon for a batch and those turned out quite good too!
