This week, we had our first snowfall across Ontario and it really put me in the mood for the holidays. I don’t think I’ve experienced a white Christmas in years, but still, nothing feels more festive than the first snowfall. The snow is gone now, but my holiday spirit is not… It’s Black Friday after all. So, without further delay, I would like to introduce 4 new holiday cards that I created as part of the 2011 Holiday Collection.

This year’s additions are designed around some of my favourite holiday themes: cardinals and winter clothes; glittering holiday parties; kissing under mistletoe and skating under the stars (with reindeer watching, of course.) I hope you like these new additions!

The cards are available at select retailers and through my updated Etsy shop.

Have a fantastic weekend! And to my U.S. readers, Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope that you had a great weekend! I spent the weekend hard at work, putting the final touches
on new holiday cards and calendar illustrations for 2012. I’m really excited about the new
illustrations and couldn’t resist showing a sneak peek! Stay tuned for the finished pieces!

If you lust after shoes like I do, then you may already know about Catwalk Boutique. This
fabulous boutique is the destination for shoes and accessories in downtown Kingston.
This is why I was so thrilled when boutique owner, Joanne Angelis approached me to update
the store’s logo. Joanne and her sister Maria have recently merged their three boutiques,
Catwalk, Cybil Scott, and Coquetta under a new brand: the House of Angelis. (I designed
the House of Angelis brand and website too, so there will be more to come on this!) Joanne
and Maria were looking to align Catwalk’s look with the sister stores and we accomplished
this by updating with a fresh colour palette, creating an elegant heal graphic and by adopting
a soft, clean type style.

Now you can see the new look at the store’s new home, right next to Cybil Scott at 65 Brock St.
The new store is really stunning and there are lots of amazing jewels, shoes, and bags to tempt
you. (Or to put on a holiday wish list to tempt someone else!) Hope you enjoy this peek at
Catwalk’s new look. Have a great day!
