too cute to leave out !

so they get their very own post!

these are just a few new photos of items from the
Punkin line of kid's clothing
(http://www.punkin.ca/),
made here in the West Kootenays by designer Katie Tabor



Punkin works closely with local artist & graphic designer
Emily Beamer (http://www.emilybeamer.com/index.htm)
incorporating some of Emily's original artwork
into the finished pieces




the sweet Tunic Top pictured below is currently available in
black bamboo/lycra with a
dainty turquoise filigree screenprint


once again, these photos are credited to
Alison Watt (http://www.bragphotography.ca/)
here in Nelson, BC.
Alison specializes in children's portraits
and these particular pics are a wonderful
example of her creativity and style!!

OK, time for one last thing:

our friend Grace McKirdy is a student in the
Human Services program at Selkirk College.
she and some other students from the program are
currently fundraising to cover the cost of
an international practicum where they will travel to
Guatemala for three weeks to learn more about Human Service practices.



we are happy to help Grace (& the other students)
raise this $$ by offering two of their products
for sale at Global Underground:




~ from Onya Bags (http://www.onyabags.co.uk/)



the Original Onya Bag is
made of durable & washable parachute material,
measures 14.5" x 18"
and squishes right down into a tiny pouch
on a key ring so you always have it with you!!



the Onya Weigh bags are a set of
5 nylon mesh bags
measuring 10" x 11"
that can be used for fruit & veg or bulk food
shopping & storage
(or for washing your delicates!!)


these also compress into a
3.5" x 4.5" pouch with keyring
so you won't forget them!



only $10 each!!

100% of the money raised from the sale of these bags is going to the
international practicum trip!!

we have an assortment of colors to choose from so
drop by and help the Selkirk College students
with this effort!



finally, i'm just curious . . .



is it snowing where you are??



i'm getting a little bummed with the current brown-ness

of our little mountain town

so maybe share a little if you can manage?


*Thanks*
