Happy to report that the road from Fourchu to Sydney is clear of storm damage, my shop basement hasn't flooded and the Sydney shop is open today!

There's a cruise ship in port, but the weather is still kind of miserable and there's no one out walking. I may close up early if it stays dead like this, or if the weather turns for the worse.

FOURCHU UPDATE!

I was planning to keep Fourchu open for another couple of days (since the trail map says I'm open until Sep 7), however last night not only did my roadside sign blow into the ditch, a window in the gallery blew out!

There's not a lot of damage fortunately, but I will have to move stuff out and Brian will board up that window, so Fourchu is now officially CLOSED for the season.

The Sydney shop is year round, and anyone in Fourchu who needs to pick things up from me (t-shirts!) will be able to collect them from my studio on MacDonald Rd by appointment.

New lighting installed in the shop today—it looks sooooo much better!

This is the first of a 13 day open stretch for me here.. 14 cruise ships coming in that period and today we say welcome to the Sapphire Princess!

Set up at the Sydney Public Market today from 10-2. Beautiful day, beautiful space!

Black T-shirts are back in, but only a few of them! I have medium, large and extra large available.

I still have white available in Small, Medium, Large and 2XL.

Let me know if you want a black one- I will get more made!

My Sydney shop is closed today, but you'll find me popping up at The Bridge in Marion Bridge from 10-2. Fourchu is open if you're in the neighbourhood!

The shop in Sydney is closed today because I'm all set up at the SydneyPublicMarket at the NSCC campus on the Esplanade.

Beautiful location, and very spacious market!
