i just realized that the blog
has been representing only the
tiny sized kid's stuff that we've stocked
for Xmas gift ideas!
So! here is a little taste of the handmade goodies we get
for grown-ups from the ladies at
Floating Gold Iceberg in Victoria, BC
(http://floatinggoldiceberg.squarespace.com/)
~ the Little Lady Wallet is small enough for her back pocket
but still has a zip and a snap to help her keep it all together!!

~ the Overprint Scarf in soft jersey is
extra long and can also be worn
as a tube wrap top or a mini skirt!
~ the Cossack Pant is made with great stretch fabrics;
right now we have them in jet black linen/lycra.
with a comfortable yoga waistband, these are both
dressy and casual all wrapped up in one!
~ the Reversible Short Dress is a best-seller here at GU!
made from a cotton/lycra stretch material
in a rainbow of colors
each with custom screenprinting!
you can wear it long like a dress with tights
or
rouched up at your hips as a top
(this style is very popular with Moms-to-Be!)

~ Le Trou? Mais Oui!!
these full length trousers come in a thick denim/lycra fabric
with a yoga waistband and a structured cuff that can
be easily turned up to change the length and the look!
of course, these are printed with FGI's original art too!
~ the Circle Scarf is my new FaVe!!
so easy to wear, it's simply one continuous length of jersey:
* once around your neck is long and elegant
* double it up = two cozy layers
* bring one of the layers up over your head for a little hood
* over your shoulders and under your arms = a shrug!
the FGI ladies have added a ribbon accent along with
their lovely printed art.
Floating Gold Iceberg is another Lady-Driven business
that we are so proud to be associated with!!
Mademoiselle Angie (Oui!?) has graciously
consigned her handmade wares with us for
two years now, from even before there was an FGI collective
and for that we will be ever appreciative!!
Honorable mention to Lizz, a mutual BFF,
who brought us all together in the first place!!
Angie was a big part of our first big in-store event:
a Fashion Show and Trunk Sale
in Sept 2007
that included
Bonspiel! - designer Ellen Box (Victoria, BC)
(http://bonspielcreation.com/)
it was such a fun night
and we have yet to duplicate it
but we'll keep trying!
here's a fun video of the evening that our friend Soniko
put together:
