This is the other thing I do. Remember I asked about colour?

We actually started this back in 2010 with Bamjamz. Holy Renfrew, Neiman Marcus, Barney’s, TIFF and an article in Elle! Then, well, it wasn’t our fault.

Sleep the Label was soft launched at the National Menopause Show in Mississauga this past weekend. 3000 women. Not apparel focused, speakers, focus groups, etc. The response was people coming and saying “All I’m hearing about is SLEEP THE LABEL”.

Every woman, except two, that tried it on bought multiple pieces. My glory was all about the comments on the fit and design lines that made women of all sizes feel beautiful! Leila created the plus size patterns and advises on plus design. She will becoming more involved in designing plus styles as we develop. She’s an expert!

Sophie Trudeau stopped by. Loved it.

Brad gifted her and her assistant product. Sophie invited Brad, his partner and his daughter who were helping him, to the VIP room. When the assistant got to her hotel she tried it immediately. Texted Brad gushing and said she would send Sophie’s directly to her home, I want her to have it right away and not have it get lost in our travels!!!! Yes!

National Women's Show - Toronto in Nov 6-8 with 40,000 women!!! I wish I could be there. But I’m so excited. There’s a bit about me in the Our Story section.

Need to pivot.
Not giving up the space.
Living with Dad.
Updates pending.

Not opening anytime soon. Good thing astute style choices and linen doesn’t have a best before date!
Dad first. ♥️

Still closed.
Linen really is a year round fabric and layering a cozy cardi with boots is your best style defence.
I’ll be back. Dad first.

Good Sunday Morning Gabriola!

I think this is a perfect capture of a Sunday on our wee island. John was good like that, documenting our shores and forests with an artistic edge.

Today, 12-4pm, at the Gabriola Arts & Heritage Centre (476 South behind the Post Office), is the last day for the John Poirier: A Retrospective & Sale. 40% of loose print sales go to Gabriola Land & Trails Trust. You can take home a moment in time to enjoy for a long time for a price you won’t believe.

Celebrating a legend, with a wicked sense of humour, that lives on through Mj and Anne. And the white rose in their garden.

Thanks to everyone who made it happen, and a huge thanks to Gabriola for showing up!

Opening night was wonderful. Familiar faces, fans, and many art connections!

A few shots of the gallery. Not 100% as the original hang, as when it sells a new one goes up. There is a rolling video of work not necessarily featured, but available. Thank you Dimitri for the loan of the USB!

A HUGE thank you to Dirk Huysman. He saved the gnome and was a fab assistant wrangling the hang. New thing asking for help!

Open today 10-4pm and Sunday 12-4pm. MJ and Anne on site.

The fundraiser for Gabriola Land & Trails Trust is going well! Prints are flying out the door.

Thursday before a major show...we actually needed MONTHS to prepare, but let's see what happens! Can the gnome get it all done in time??? Anne Poirier has been a champion preparing all the work, so many files, drives overflowing with information, so many prints to put into sleeves! Mj Patterson organizing food, family, all the things. Give them a high five, an emotional journey for both MJ and Anne.

John Poirier: A Retrospective & Sale opening night and John's Celebration of Life is tomorrow, Friday, August 14th at 5pm. Gallery hours Saturday 10-4pm and Sunday 12-4pm.

Gabriola Arts & Heritage Centre 476 South Road, Gabriola Island.

The collection is vast, the subject matter incredible from the urban captures, to moments in time on Gabriola, different mediums, different sizes. Prices you will never see again.

Here is a hint at what you will see.

Note: please be patient and understanding, lots of emotion for everyone involved and we don't do this everyday!

Do you like this sweater? It’s called the Eco Dog Walker Organic from Echo Verde. You’ve been loving the Spring/Summer styles, should gnome carry this sweater in the Fall? Other colours to choose from…what size or colour would you buy?

100% organic cotton
$96

EDIT: this is the suggested retail price, also interested what price point makes it accessible. Be respectful please, but I am very interested. This does commit you to a sweater. Plus I have no fee layaway.

Limited availability. If you’re serious, send me a note!
