At the Bag Lady

Weezi At the Bag Lady

Hellu Pussycats!
For the past couple of years I have been selling aprons at the 
Bag Lady Variety here in London Ontario.
Jane ( the owner) has been very generous to me not
to mention extremely supportive!
Slowly, I added in a few extra things like homemade blank 
greeting cards & food notebooks.
Everything has been doing extremely well.
( A big thanx to everyone who buys Weezi
at the Bag Lady!!! xo)
So, you can imagine how thrilled I was when she offered me
a spot in the cafe to showcase even more Weezi items!
Hurrah!

Today was the day I went and got my little corner set up.


I arrived with a load of fun stuff.
Everything from cosmetic cases to romance notebooks.


Here is the very cute pink shelf unit my Dad made me.
Thanx Dad!!!

And here it is loaded up with some fun handmade goodies.



I am thrilled to be represented at the Bag Lady!
Jane and I are such a perfect fit.
We both have a luv for vintage and retro nostalgia, anything pink,
all things fun & quirky & of course handmade.
Not to mention a big desire to help out friends & the people in our community.
The real meaning of support local!

I hope you will enjoy the new selection of Weezi goods at the
I will be updating the Weezi corner every week :)
Ther are some great little gifts ideas perfect
for the upcoming holiday season.

The cafe is located at 474 Pall Mall at Maitland.
Please stop by sometime soon.
The food is totally worth the trip!
Delicious home made soup & sammies everyday.
There is an early bird breakfast and every Friday
is Pizza Friday. Breakfast all day Sat. & Sunday.
Fair trade coffee & the BEST brownies in town!
You can find all the info you need about the
menu and hours here.

Have a great night Pussycats!
Keep in touch, Luv Weezi xo

What a Great Way to Recycle PotHolders

What a Great Way to Recycle PotHolders

Hellu Pussycats!
I have been all over the place this week.
I haven't really done anything I am supposed to.
I am having a "starting to freak out b/c Christmas is coming" week.
That feeling of I don't have enough, I haven't done enough...
You know the drill!
So, instead of taking photos of the new shoes clips
I made last weekend and posting them on here 
like I should be.....
I am posting this lovely tutorial I came across on FB.
This is so adorable!

Another fabulous idea for reuse, reduce & vintage!
Have a great afternoon Pussycats!
Keep in touch, luv Weezi xo














My 1st Sewing Machine

My 1st Sewing Machine

Helluuu Pussycats! 
I was going thru photos today trying to organize 
some of my many, many folders online.
( I really need to print most of these
and get them into a real photo album and off the hard drive)

I found this one and thought I might share.
My 1st Sewing Machine

I can't even tell you how many hours I spent on this
little machine.
Making clothes for Barbies and other dolls.
I am sure at some point my Mum might have
regretted buying my this b/c it became an
obsession that took over most of the house.
I wanted to sew on the kitchen table.
I wanted to lay out everything to cut on the
dining room table.
We grew up in a little bungalow home so
there wasn't a lot of floor space but I managed
to somehow cover most of it in fabric, patterns
and notions.
Ask my Dad about finding pins in his bare feet!!
Hahah!!! I still hear about it today ;)

It wasn't long that I graduated to a "real" machine.
Altho- that machine did go pretty fast and the needle was sharp.
(I might be dating myself by admitting the toys we played with
didn't have many safety features!)

Anyhow- just goes to show you never know what
might happen when you give your child a toy
that can open up all kinds of creative pleasures & outlets.
Thanx Mum for getting me this!!!
I am sure I wouldn't have turned out to be an accountant anyhow
but this really did point me in the right direction :)

Have a great day Pussycats!
Be in touch, Luv Weezi xo



Hand dyed slips

Finished Slips

Hellu Pussycats!
Here are some pics of the finished dyed slips
that I talked about on Wednesday.





I am really thrilled with how they turned out.
Too pretty to just wear under dresses.
They make great night gowns too :)

Have a great afternoon Pussycats!
Be in touch! Luv Weezi :)

Social Networking was Invented for Geminis

Social Networking was Invented for Geminis

Hellu Pussycats!
Incase you haven't figured it out I am a Gemini.
True to form.
Luv it or hate it I am thru and thru.
Indecisive and moody BUT loads of fun and never a dull moment :)
Not the sign I would have picked... but that is another topic of conversation.

We Geminis are the social butterflies of the Zodiac sign.
Constant fluttering about looking for the next party, the next "big thing".
Always looking for what is happening-
who is with who and who said what???!
The true gossips of astrology!
We are the great communicators~
We talk and we talk and we talk and just when you 
think there isn't ANYTHING left to say...we talk a bit more.
( ask any of my dear friends)
However, we are are flighty and will move on from conversation
to conversation like a flash.
Flickle too. You bore me??? Not keeping up verbally???...I'll move on.
Short attention span...what was I saying???
No bother!~ we will start w something fresh! Let's talk about me :)


This is why social networking was made for us Gemini's.
OH yes!!!!! UBER fast, ever changing communication.
AND! loads of it- and it never, ever ends!
With lightening speed we can move back forth in the midst of thousands of posts.
We can talk and talk and move on from person to person with out
missing a beat.
We can always find someone new who will banter with us- we
can just keep communicating our little hearts out
and it never has to end. Ever.
*sigh*
It is exhausting and exhilarating at the same time.
Yes, social networking was invented just for
us Gemini's there is no doubt.
( Zuckerberg's b-day is the May 14th.
A Taurus perhaps but on the cusp of Gemini 
and that is enough  influence from the Twins over the Bull 
in manners of communication! The Bull is 
no match for our whimsy)


Where was I??? Oh yes! Talking! :)
So, as a true Gemini I can not leave any
communication rock unturned 
or any social network party unattended....
 I had to join Tumblr.
I couldn't be be left out!
Think of all the conversations happening- all the sharing and
non stop postings with all those words & ideas!
It is dizzying really, just the thought of it.
I haven't really figured out how to use it yet.
I am not sure how to much of anything but follow people.
But-I am signed up and now an official member of the party :)
Really, that is all a Gemini needs!
 ***
Btw-If you can't seem to get enough of me here you
can also find me on Facebook here
and Twitter here.
Be forewarned...I am chatty little thing ;)

Enjoy your Tuesday Pussycats!!
Be in touch, Luv Weezi xo
