Part of the fun for me in doing a trunk show on Main Street is that it gives me a good excuse to visit shops and restaurants outside of my neighbourhood. And if you’re visiting my pop-up shop this week, I recommend you visit them too.

ACD-SM-MainShow

I open at 11 a.m. on Thursday and Friday, so if you’re dropping by midday, may I suggest you have lunch at Coco et Olive at Main & 22nd — the hot chicken sandwich is worth driving across town for.  If you’re arriving later in the day — I’m open until 7 p.m. — the French Table is just four blocks north of my trunk show at Little Mountain Shop.

I know many of you have a thing for beautiful stationery with clever sayings on it, so don’t miss The Regional Assembly of Text, near 24th. The shop has a vintage feel, not least because of all the typewriters decorating it. And who doesn’t need a tea towel with a map of Vancouver on it?

I can never get enough of independent bookshops and there are two near my trunk show. Book Warehouse on Main is just three blocks away from me, and is also dog friendly. And then there’s Carson Books, a secondhand bookstore just a few doors down. No relation, but obviously a kindred spirit.

Pulp Fiction on Main, is farther north, near Broadway, but since you’re already on Main, why not go a few extra blocks? (Yes, this is my rationale for hitting every independent bookstore on the street: when will I get over to Main next?)

At the top of my reading list: Esi Edugyan’s Washington Black, which just won the Giller Prize.

Need to supply yourself with greenery and flowers for parties, stocking stuffers for the green-of-thumb, or maybe sign-up up for a wreath-making workshop? The Flower Factory is just a block away and they have a lovely Instagram.

And I’m sure I’ll have a few more  Christmas shopping recommendations by the time my show is done. Hope to see you there:

November 21-23

4386 Main Street (near 28th)

Statement necklaces for every day

While I love to see my necklaces swan off to glamourous parties and fundraisers, that wasn’t why I began making them.

ACD-Laine2

I started designing unique pieces for myself as a way of elevating what I called my work uniform – some variation on dark jeans and a white shirt. I was one of those ironically named stay-at-home moms. Ironic, because of course I was never home. I was ferrying children around between school and activities. Running the endless errands that go into managing a family home. And running my own part-time photography business.

So I was looking for statement necklaces that would take me from 7 a.m. to midnight and make me feel I was dressed like a grown-up. I wanted real silver, real pearls, and real gemstones since I think plastic beads and crystals are for children playing dress-up.

ACD-N-Chains&Wings

And today, most of my customers choose my jewellery for the same reason I did: they want to give their work clothes a distinctive, personal look that will take them from that first breakfast meeting to an evening at the theatre.
