Look at me posting 2 days in a row, good girl. I was really busy there for a while, but I’m back on a mellow train and will update regularly from now on, Scouts Honour.
Anyway, as you know, the Gastown Shop Hop is going down tomorrow, but Nouvelle Nouvelle just announced they’ll discount stuff by 30%! Perfect time to get some Spring pieces. See you tomorrow!

Randi in Skewed Magazine!
Randi – owner/designer of Ora Bags – is featured in issue nine of Skewed Magazine. There’s an interview about her past, present and future as well as a number of photos of her bags, other works and her beautiful self.
Randi has been an inspiring friend and mentor for a while and I’m very pleased to share this article (Caution! Leads to a PDF) that shows some of her awesomeness. Enjoy!
