New at Relish This Week!

Very exciting - Relish has just received some beautiful handmade jewellery and accessories, just in time for Art Crawl!

These gorgeous changepurses are handmade in Victoria, BC by Bonspiel - and they're made out of recycled leather and suede. The best part (other than the beautiful prints and colours) is that because they're vintage leather, they already have that super-soft worn-in buttery feel. Yummy!

Another incredible Canadian source, the Silver Workshop, has created these beautiful handmade sterling silver pieces of jewellery. We've got a selection of necklaces, as well as a beautiful silver and bronze ringe and a pair of hand-cast silver stud earrings. You've got to see these!

And even more jewellery! These dreamy floral earrings are just one of the designs created by Hypho - the designer also creates earrings and pendants out of colourful tangled wire. Get down here and check these out before they're all gone!

Also not to be missed are one of my personal favourites - handmade journals by Sarah Hollands. These gorgeous journals are made using old books, and the pages are a whimsical collection of book pages, wallpaper, tissue, maps, etc. These must be seen to be appreciated!!! And if you're not a journal-writer, no problem! These would make the most incredible photo albums! I just adore them.

And finally we have a refill of those colourful paper poms from PomTree - and yep, that sure is polka dots you see in the photo. These are going to be awesome!!

New Fun Stuff

Well despite the rain, Friday's Art Crawl was tons of fun and lots of people were out to enjoy the festivities.

High five to everyone who braved the rain! As usual, Friday was a scramble to get things ready, but as a result, there is some great new stuff in the shop this week, including these tissue paper Poms from PomTree you can see in the window..... Such a great hit of much-needed springtime colour!

Victoria Alstein was kind enough to agree to have some of her incredible artwork on display for Art Crawl. If you didn't make it down here on, be sure to stop by in the next week or two to check out her stuff - it's pretty damn awesome.

I've also added another vintage table that I've just refinished. As usual, bright green looks incredible with all types of wood!

This awesome bright red chair is a vintage Vico Magistretti designer chair - made in Italy!!

Another great chair made in the 1930's and newly re-uphostered, just waiting for a new home.

And finally (because I just had to include this) a beautiful floral bouquet sent by my sister Becca and her family from Alberta! Thanks Bec and Kostas & Kaia!
