I just want to take a minute to thank everyone who

I just want to take a minute to thank everyone who supported my little creative business this year. It’s been 14 years since I first started making and selling accessories and it’s the first time that I sold out of a collection, like, completely sold out. No more Walkstoff mittens or headbands until next fall! You guys blew my mind! Thank you so much + an extra big thanks to everyone who came by my booth or send me a picture to show me how happy they were with their purchase! 💕💕💕Je voudrais prendre un instant pour remercier tous ceux qui ont soutenu ma petite entreprise créative cette année. Cela fait 14 ans que j’ai commencé à fabriquer et à vendre des accessoires, et c’est la première fois que je vends toute une collection, vraiment tout. Il n’y aura plus de mitaines ni de bandeaux Walkstoff avant l’automne prochain ! C’est fou ! Merci beaucoup, et un grand merci à tous ceux qui sont passés à mon stand ou m’ont envoyé une photo pour me montrer à quel point ils étaient satisfaits de leur achat ! 💕💕💕

“You can’t get too much winter in winter.” I have

“You can’t get too much winter in winter.” I have to disagree with Robert Frost on this one. The last couple of weeks have been a mix of freezing temperatures and snow dumps. And I’m getting a little bit sick of it. What I’ll never get sick of is pretty and cozy accessories! So I used the time to update the website with what’s remaining of the last Walkstoff collection. Not much left! Hurry to have a look!

January. Time to plan the year, set goals and figure out what’s next. I definitely need to fill up my Walkstoff stash, do research into doing wholesale with my tea towel designs and revamp the website. Let’s see how it goes! I’m currently ignoring the news because with everything that’s going on, I might as well stay in bed for the rest of the year.

The last leaves are falling + I think it’s about time I introduce myself (again):
My name is Leonie or Leo for short. Here I’m wearing a headband made from a fabric I designed myself. I turned 40 this year (yay, I’m an elder millennial) + have always too many projects on the go. Too many ideas, not enough energy (endometriosis sometimes kicks my bum) but loving the chaos of it all.
I love love love reading (mysteries + beautiful novels), drinking tea or champagne (who doesn’t ?!?) and creating. Anything related to drawing, illustrations, fabric or textile art. 😍 Travelling keeps me alive as well as daily walks with Pumpkin, my black lab. I’m from Germany originally but recently became a Canadian citizen as well. Living between two cultures is beautiful and hard.
I hate that there are no more good romantic comedies!

Time by the ocean is so essential for my creativity. The blue water, blue sky, golden sand. Or everything in grey. It doesn’t matter, I see lighthouses in my future.

It’s been pretty quiet around here recently but worry not, I’m still there. 💕 I’ve been working on production, designing fabrics + tea towels, researching and enjoying summer. To be honest, I just couldn’t be bothered to post. Well, we’ll be off on a much needed vacation to Nova Scotia soon and I can’t wait to just relax by the ocean. Hopefully, I’ll find inspiration and motivation to post more in August!

Hello Monday! 💕 @josdutil snapped this photo of me

Hello Monday! 💕 @josdutil snapped this photo of me at the last @marche_de_createurs_a_la_nef and I think it’s just so lovely. It has been raining here for the last three days and I’m hoping for a bit of a break. So I’ll be able to go on a proper long walk with Pumpkin and snap a few pics of the luggage tags. I can’t wait to list them in the website!
Do you use fun luggage tags to be able to distinguish your suitcases from all the other similar ones?

Finally! 🎉🎉🎉 A tea towel with my original artwork.

Finally! 🎉🎉🎉 A tea towel with my original artwork. Panthers + tropical flowers.
It’s a linen-cotton fabric, printed + sewn in Montreal and I’m so happy about it. And you can get it on my website now!

Do you like big kitties or just the house variety?
