This week so far has been quite heavily dedicated to the crazy spring project of giving the studio what has turned out to be an almost complete makeover. What started out as an idea to paint some furniture pieces and add pops of color has turned, somehow, into a full-on re-vamp. New curtains, painting everything in site, complete furniture rehabs (including a few pieces I've picked up in the halls...

I am working hard this month, getting ready for the spring edition of the Montreal Gift Show at the beginning of March. Press kits, prices, new exciting product developments (start getting excited, there's really cute stuff on the way for spring!) and planning a new booth design.
As much as I love doing craft shows, wholesale shows like the Gift show are nice too-- they give me the unique...

It has been a very crazy year. New clients, new shows, new approaches. I quit my job to work on Dot & Lil full time. I moved Dot & Lil out of my house and into a separate studio. All in all, the biggest year ever for my little company. And right now in the midst of crazy holiday rush, with new challenges and new projects, I am at once terrified and overjoyed. It's that thrilling feeling, that I...

For those of you looking for holiday gifts, or a crafty weekend activity, come by Puces Pop this weekend and check out some of Montreal's best handmade goods and makers. Dot & Lil will have all our gift sets and holidays scents in stock, of course, but our standard stuff too! And personally, I plan on doing some more holiday shopping (or swapping!) of my own.
Broundoor, Instant Crimson, and a...

While shopping for a small mini-anniversary gift for my boyfriend last week, it became clear to me, as it does every time I have to buy man-gifts, that men are IMPOSSIBLE TO SHOP FOR. Really. I mean, it's terrible. I consider myself a pretty good gift-giver in general. But men are just extremely difficult, for the most part, unless you have a lot of money to spend.
This man gift predicament has led...

It isn't quite thanksgiving yet, but I'm overflowing with thankfulness these days! Last night, I hosted a small gathering to thank the Dot & Lil helpers who helped me get a big order out the door in the past few weeks. I couldn't, absolutely couldn't, have done it without them. It was a lovely evening.
I made bow pasta with ricotta, spinach, pine nuts and chorizo sausage that was loosely inspired...

Well guys, who knows why I waited so long, but after years of having my own website, trying out an ArtFire shop, etc, I have FINALLY signed up and opened a shop at the Mother of all online craft venues, Etsy!
My shops at www.dotandlil.com and www.artfire.comwill still remain open. I will have to see if the ArtFire shop is here to stay--I may shut it down...

I wanted to share a few new pictures of Dot & Lil goodies. I actually took and edited these myself, which is new for me, so let me know what you think!
Lilac scented 'The Tea Party' soap set with fine bone English china cup & saucer
Rice Flower 'Lend a Hand' soap (all profits are donated to the Dot & Lil Kiva Team)
Unscented shaving soap set,...

Our killer sale ends tomorrow! Until midnight on July 15th, everything in our online ArtFire shop is 25% off! That's a pretty great deal, and we hardly ever have sales around here so take advantage!
Go browse through handmade soaps, perfumes, gift sets and milk bath, all for a discounted price with reasonable shipping! The shop can be found here.image in this post from Simon Howden via freedigitali...

This coming Saturday Dot & Lil will be taking part in Querbes school's annual Féria, with local artisans, great food vendors and a penny drive, many of which benefit the school. I've been told this is a much anticipated event not only for the school but for the Outremont community in general! Sounds like fun. Dot & Lil will have a table outside (or inside in case of rain) and let's hope for some...

I spend a lot of time thinking about skincare ingredients, obviously. Researching, reading, learning, using and purchasing skincare ingredients and raw materials is the central cog around which all other activities at Dot & Lil turn. I, of course, have very strong opinions about this. But lately, I've been wondering....how does the public, and more specifically my customers and community, really...

Just a little heads up. Some Dot & Lil prices will be going up, starting the 1st of April. And it won't, sorry to tell you, be April Fool's Day related! So, grab some goodies at the old prices before they're gone! Supplies and raw materials costs have skyrocketed, much like food prices in your grocery store lately, so though I love to give you guys a bargain wherever I can I had to make some...

This coming Saturday and Sunday is the new March edition of the famous Puces Pop. Vendors have been announced here so go check to see if your favorites will be there. The Dot & Lil table will have exciting new stuff as always, and yummy homemade lavender shortbread cookies to munch on while your browse.
What am I looking forward to, other than standing behind the Dot & Lil table talking to all my...
