I've been super busy these past 2 weeks so I thought I'd show some etsy love to some shops I follow! Shine has a big announcement that I've been waiting months to announce and it looks like I can announce it tomorrow! Fingers crossed!

Window Frame Display

 Shine Studios put together a cute little display for Unbridaled (ties and bow ties ect). I had antique windows with cracked glass that I didn't know what to do with so Shilo and I smashed the glass out and created this:

We attached Eye Bolts to the sides and a wire across:

 Attached a self leveling hanger to the back:

And voila! Easy wall display.

Spring Showers @ Shine

The other day at work I was bored and made a new window for Shine. I did it all with stuff from around the store. I used buffalo snow, fishing line, and construction paper. I only had a few hours before art crawl but I thought it was a decent job for not leaving the store for supplies! 

 

The window was a bit to shiny for photos but you get the gist. The clothing is from The Wandering Eye and the tote and jewelry is from Shine Studios.

Heather's Hamilton Hangouts - Locke Street

Today Shilo and I wandered around Locke Street and checked out some shops. There are some beautiful shops down there and I photographed my fave 2. 

The First is Pure Home Couture at 174 Locke Street. You enter a hall and walk up a staircase to a gorgeous open room. They sell soaps and candles and house wears.

Their space is amazing, and I am def wandering back to pick up a cup with a metallic gold lip mark.

 If there's any coffee junkies out there like me at the "top" of Locke street theres a coffee shop that I visited frequently last summer when I lived in the area called Johnny's that I recommend.



Last but def not least is Canoe on Locke at 233 Locke Street. I LOVE this store, I want to move in (or at least take all the things home). Shilo and I met store owner Tamara and she let me wander around taking photos of everything. I think I was taking a photo shopping list instead of blog photos.

 And this is the store pooch named Sam. He didn't stay still long enough for photos but I'm digging this one.

Heather's Hamilton Hangouts - Dundurn Castle

\

 I'm obsessed with the historical buildings around Hamilton. Above is Dundurn Castle on a cloudy day. I've been inside but its being restored so I'm excited to come back and see the restoration. I still wander around the grounds when I'm in need of a walk. This day I was scouting a possible location for a lookbook shoot for my shop in the spring.
