Another Puces Pop come and gone! Thank you for coming out to visit us this weekend. A weekend of chatting, showing our Spring & Summer collection, catching up with maker friends, and celebrating handmade. We sold out of everything Lilac scented!

Here are some of my favourite photos from this weekend, and some of the lovely vendors I was lucky enough to meet or see again. I came home with a brand...

I love my city. I love walking in it, and I love that is a walkable city. I love looking up at the distinctive rooftops of my neighborhood. I love that although it is busy, and urban, and a city, Montreal has an unmistakable small town feel. Parts of Montreal sleep, in a way that larger cities never do. Parts of Montreal breathe, too, in a way that I notice when I...

This was a long weekend for me. Mad dash of preparing for a show. All weekend on my feet talking, selling, meeting people. Dragging boxes of ridiculously heavy soap up my unfortunately very Montreal stairs. And at night, I did the work of making. The work that brings all the Dot & Lil stuff into the world. The birthing of the bath products, to put it overly poetically.

Here's the deal: there are a lot of reasons why I dislike doing shows. The packing. The inventory. The waiting. The risk. But in the end I love them. In the end, I choose to focus on the reasons I love them, the reasons I keep doing them, rather than the things that make them hard for me.
