MORE SOCKS!!

Just in time for the holidays.  A fresh shipment of our popular wool polka-dotted socks has arrived!  We have over-the knee socks and calf socks in all colours.  Great for stocking stuffers or last minute gift ideas for anyone who appreciates the warmth and luxury of wool, cashmere and angora socks!

BOWLING ANYONE?

So for something completely different, we went bowling for our Pod Holiday Party this year!  I tried to keep it a secret, in fact Natalina didn't even realize it was true even when she pulled up in front...  What is the greatest thing about bowling, you ask?  Well it has to be a toss up between the awesome footwear or the delicious assortment of deep-fried goodies.....or maybe the beer to wash it down with!

ANOTHER POD ESSENTIAL......

Are you always searching for the perfect wallet?  Well these stylish and colourful wallets do just about everything.  They will hold your iphone, your lip stuff and even your glasses.  Just hook your keys to the handy ring, and off you go!  All the essentials in one neat package.

POD ESSENTIALS......

We've been asked many times to put together some essential items, something for every occasion, something to go with just about everything, something you can't live without on your next weekend away or just hanging around the house.....

Discover FIG Clothing - amazing, comfortable & 100% Canadian.

Bamboo Leggings - can't live without them!  Seriously....

FELTED ORNAMENTS......

Sometimes we just need a little gift for a teacher, hostess, best friend or just about anyone you love and care about.......who wouldn't adore a sweet little felted friend.....

ALL DENIM 30% OFF!

We carry a great selection of jeans by DISH.

We've chosen DISH Jeans because they are Canadian (hailing from Vancouver) and because they fit our bum, hips and legs so well.  Finding the perfect pair of jeans is a real quest!  They just have to offer the fit we want with the comfort and the 'look'.  So we trust DISH to get it right!

More Hand-crafted Undies from the Candi Factory

These undies are so much fun!  And so comfortable!

BUY BACK THE BOMBS

In the 1960s' and '70s', in an effort to stop the perceived spread of communism from Vietnam, the United States began a nine-year aerial bombardment on Laos.  Laos  became the most heavily bombed country in history.
Peace Bomb Bracelets are hand-crafted and recast from discarded metal that still litters that country after all these years.  Help support local artisans by buying back the bombs.  Spread the story.

Raw Edge Leather Clutches

Hand-crafted in California by Jill Harrell.

Happy Holiday Gift Guide #2 - with love

Jewelry by Holly Yashi

We love this incredible line-up of earrings, all hand-crafted in California from the metal 'Niobium'.  Niobium is remarkably light weight, hypo-allergenic and very easy to care for.  Combined with Swarovski crystals, semi-precious stones and pearls, these pieces have a bohemian feel - great with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt or a little black dress.

New Arrivals from Sasha Bell....

It isn't often that I am swept away by new jewelry designs.

As a former jeweller myself and as I travel so many trade shows for my business, I am always delighted to discover something new and inspiring.

I also love how Sasha describes her work day because this is also how I feel about my store.

From Sasha Bell: "I am privileged to wake up every morning and head to my studio with my cup of coffee in hand and create whatever is on my mind.  I try to learn something new everyday and I am so grateful that I get to call this my job."

The Earring Line-Up from Holly Yashi

We love this incredible line-up of earrings, all hand-crafted in California from the metal 'Niobium'.  Niobium is remarkably light weight, hypo-allergenic and very easy to care for.  Combined with Swarovski crystals, semi-precious stones and pearls, these pieces have a bohemian feel - great with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt or a little black dress.

New Arrivals from Pyrrha...

Pyrrha jewelry is hand-crafted in Vancouver from reclaimed sterling silver, bronze and 14k gold.  Pendants, rings, bracelets and earrings are fashioned from 19th Century wax seals.  What we love about this line is the significance of the symbols and the stories they tell.  These are pieces that celebrate history, the maker's hand and qualities we all value such as courage, devotion and loyalty to name a few.

BUY BACK THE BOMBS

In the 1960s' and '70s', in an effort to stop the perceived spread of communism, the United States began a nine-year aerial bombardment on Loas.  Loas became the most heavily bombed country in history.
Peace Bomb Bracelets are hand-crafted and recast from the same metal that rained upon Laos during those years.

A single bracelet is made from 3 meters of bomb littered land.

Help support local artisans by buying back the bombs.  Spread the story.

Steve Jobs, 1955 - 2011

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to....love what you do. Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. Your time is limited. Don't waste it living someone else's life"  - Steve Jobs
