I’m on vacation until Oct 2, and I’m sorry to report that my project of training Theodora to fill orders has been a fiasco. She’s a lovely model, but a lousy assistant.

So no website orders will be filled until I return. But if you’re in Vancouver you may want to wait a few weeks, until my big fall show, which is loaded with one-of-a-kind pieces.

FALL TRUNK SHOW OCT. 25 & 26

My biggest trunk show of the year is happening this year on Granville Island

GRANVILLE ISLAND HOTEL

Friday Oct. 25 — 11 a.m. to 7 p.m

Saturday, Oct. 26 — 10 a.m to 5 p.m.

My pop-up coincides with the Vancouver Writers Festival and I think we book-lovers should stick together. So I’m offering anyone who brings a ticket from an event 10 per cent off the items they buy at my show.

As always, Theodora will be present, and yes, she does pose for selfies. Just don’t let her try and charge you.
