I discovered Hot Pop Factory a few months ago at the One of a Kind Show. Their designs are super cool and unique but what really got me was the design process. With a background in architecture, the designers apply the same design philosophies and tools used to design buildings. The end result – 3D printed geometric jewellery made from polymer. Seriously amazing!
I took this photo this weekend while away at the cottage with a bunch of my girlfriends. We overdosed in food, booze and girly chats but I loved every minute of it. Nothing beats a weekend up north with friends!

There are two major components of entertaining that are important to me: cute details and time saving prep tricks. A few weeks ago I attended a party for Sticker You and instantly became a fan. They are the solution to creating a super adorable party while saving you a ton of time on the decor details!
Sticker You provides ready made sticker templates for all of your party needs. Think – dessert table signs, chocolate bar stickers, water bottle & wine labels, thank you stickers, table numbers etc. They also have a custom option if you want to upload your own design. Your order is processed within 72 hours and they ship worldwide.
You can even shop via the party theme so it makes it that much easier for you. The possibilities are truly endless with this! Think about how cute AND professional looking your next party will be!
Sticker You also provides wall & window decals, temporary tattoos, ID labels, iron-on labels, address labels and a bunch more.
mini mioche is known for their super soft organic basics and after several requests, they recently launched an adult version of the brand called em + west. The collection includes the grown up version of their signature lush hoody made from soft organic cotton French terry as well as the best fitting tee around in an organic cotton jersey fabric. I’m a sucker for super soft, well-fitting basics and after trying on the collection I can attest that they are both of these things. em + west currently caters to the ladies but who knows maybe we’ll see a men’s version of the line in the near future?
I have a set of vintage arrows I picked up at Drake General Store a few years ago and I absolutely love them. When I was brainstorming ideas for the mini mioche boho window, I knew I wanted to include arrows but vintage ones weren’t in the budget so I decided to make some myself. The cost is very minimal and they took no time at all. I’m really pleased with the results!
What you’ll need:
wooden dowels
embroidery thread
E-6000 glue
tooth pick
feathers
utility knife
1. Using the utility knife shave one end of the wooden dowel into a point.
2. On the other end of the dowel glue on some feathers (I found that 2 feathers worked the best and glued one on either side of the dowel). Use the tooth pick to apply the glue.
2. Place a little glue on the stick part of the feather and begin wrapping the embroidery thread one colour at a time over the end of the feather and around the dowel.
I love when I can create something cool with things lying around my apartment. Scrap piece of wood – check, yarn – check, nails – check! Head over to the Treehouse website to learn how I made this Yarn Art Nursery Letter!

These are perfect for a party favour for any type of party. You can cater them to a kids party as well as to an adult party. Fill them with candy or whatever you like! All you do is pull the string at the bottom and your fillings come pouring out!
