Goodybye Sandy.....

Hiddy Ho Pussycats.
I am sorry but today I will not be able to post my regular blog.
I have to go and pay my respects to a friend of the family who passed away on Thursday.

Writing today about "things to buy" seemed a wee bit trivial.
I have a bigger picture issue on my mind today.
Today is going to be difficult and even if I dare say so kind of scary.
It will be painful but necessary.
We miss you Sandy.
Hug someone tight today and tell them that you love them.
Ciao Pussycats. xo

Suitcase Lamp w Picture Slide Shade

Suitcase Lamp w Picture Slide Shade
Hiddy Ho Pussycats!!!!
My BFF Katrina is a crafting genius I have to say.
Check out this suitcase lamp she made for the studio.


A very cool cosmetic suitcase is now a lamp that will sit on your
table, desk or bookcase.
And!- as if that wasn't enough she made a slide lampshade for it.
When you plug it in you can see the slide pictures quite nicely.
Pics are from Australia and Asia.
Katrina is very handy will a drill and some jump rings
there is no denying it!



The inside of the suitcase will be handy for hiding a few things like
candles or your secret stash of chocolate! ;)

This puppy will be hard to part with!!

But...it is for sale in the studio or could be shipped out to you.
It is light and wouldn't be too costly to ship.
The last suitcase table I sent out we used Grey Hound and it was very reasonable.
The bus system can be a great courier.
And! -it got there that afternoon.

Well Pussycats, I am making a few more bags this afternoon and then
it will be all about tees and skirts next week.

Be in touch!!!

Another Great Canadian idea!-KOOTSAC

Another Great Canadian idea!-KOOTSAC

Hiddy Ho Pussycats!
I was purr-oozing thru my favourite blogs today and came
across an article about this Canadian company from B.C. called Kootsac.

She makes re-usable food bags.
Her online shop is on Etsy...

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5621296

What exactly is a Kootsac? A Kootsac is a re-usable bulk food bag. The larger ones can be used for produce as well. They are made of rip stop nylon and are available in a variety of bright and fun colors. I also have a biodegradable version made of 100% silk. They are lightweight, washable, re-usable and fasten with a twist tie.

I am going to order a set of red bags today. Only $10.50 plus $1.75 shipping!

What do you suggest using a Kootsac for? I designed these bags specifically for bulk food like flour, nuts, dried fruit, lentils, herbs and spices. The idea is to use these instead of the plastic bags provided at the grocery store. They are designed to be fastened with a twist tie. Many stores require that you write the bin number on the tie. They are also great for carrying snack food and they work well for holding food when on a hike or camping adventure.

She is getting a lot of interest and doing very well.
If you google Kootsac you can find a bunch of great
articles to read about what she is doing.
I found an interview her on Vintage Indie..

http://vintageindie.typepad.com/vintage_indie/2008/08/sustainable-sho.html

She has lots of sizes and colours to choose from.
Check it out.
It is good to buy handmade AND support Canadian small business!

Have a great Sunday Pussycats!....if you can have a great Sunday when it is
13 degrees in AUGUST!!!!!!
;(

The Weezi SALE is still on!!!!
Lots of "bar-goons"!
More Weezi bags and laptop sleeves coming this week.

Be in touch! Luv Weezi xoxoxoxoxoxo

Gone Fishin'!
We are camping from today until Thursday but the Weezi Studio
will be on open on Wed. at Noon.
Have a good holiday Monday!
luv Weezi xo

"What's on page...????"
Hiddy Ho Pussycats!
Here is the weekly installment of
"What's on Page.....????
Where I go into the deep, dark, far back reaches of Etsy and find
cool items that time may have forgotten.
(Insert Indiana Jones music here...)


On page 1049 in the jewelry section I found these lovely earrings from Singapore.

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=cat1_gallery_5&listing_id=13843739

Great beads!- and free shipping!
*****
AND!- on the same page I found these great earrings..

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=cat1_gallery_21&listing_id=13780598

I really like this colour combo.


Lastly, on page 15,692 I came across the nice earrings.

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=cat1_gallery_17&listing_id=9348562

I am really into the long tear drop style lately.
Hmmm..I might have to get these!

I am very proud to present 2 of the photos that my brother took when we had our
photo shoot a couple of weeks ago.

They are fantastic!!!!

Cool Stuff

A Suitcase That Doesn't Travel & a Painted Wood Fire?!
Hiddy Ho Pussycats!
Today at in the Weezi Studio we have a couple new
and very interesting pieces.

I have a new HOT wooden flame box that my Dad made.


Very cool.


It would be great on a desk or on a hallway table....
If you have a devilish themed bedroom ( insert sexy growl here)
then it would be great on a dresser or night stand.


It is such a wonderful shape!

I don't know if he will ever make another one like this or not.

I think it is one of his best yet!
*****
AND!- we also have a new suitcase table.


A little bit different from the last one but essentially the same idea.


Very cool for your funky living room or hallway.


You can put "stuff" in it like magazines or candles or DVDs.
We all have "stuff" that we need to hide.
Some of us have some stuff then others.... ah!- that would be me.


So come by the studio this weekend if you are
downtown and check out the new stuff.
****
The big Weezi SALE is still on!!!!
Skirts and dresses are on sale.
***

Have a great long weekend Pussycats!!!
Hopefully most of you get Monday off.

Be in touch! Luv Weezi xoxoxoxoxo

Ps We will be closed on the Monday and Tuesday of next week.
:)
We are going camping again! Yippee!!!
