Wow, spring has defiantly sprung in Vancouver! The sun has been shinning, the birds have been chirping and lovely cherry blossoms are everywhere! After 17 days of a spectacular Olympic experience it is great to look forward to warmer weather and exciting events like Make It Vancouver and Edmonton. Chandler and I felt so fortunate to witness the magic of the Olympics and were inspired by the patriotism, openness and energy! One message in particular that stood out to me was “The World needs more Canada.” We are so incredibly lucky to live in this amazing country and it seemed like until the Olympics we didn’t always realize it.
I think now more than ever shoppers will appreciate and value products handmade in Canada. This is great news for all the amazing designers and artisans who are part of the Make It family and are the driving force behind our Handmade Revolution! Becoming more patriotic feels good because it unites us and allows us to join a collective movement. Be proud, buy Canadian!

Wow, the last 6 weeks have been a whirlwind at Make It headquarters but Chandler and I could not me more pleased with how well all 3 shows turned out! Make It started off with a bang in Calgary at the Chinese Cultural Centre Nov 6-8. Since it was our first show there we had no idea what to expect. Luckily the media jumped on board and we were interviewed left right and centre for TV (CityTV and Global), blogs and newspapers (The Calgary Herald and FFWD). I even had a couple radio interviews! When we arrived in Calgary a few days before the show we could definitely feel the buzz in the air. We were also grateful to be included in Art Central (www.artcentral.ca) 5th Birthday celebration. It was the night before the big show and we handed out coupon flyers with a vengeance!
