thank goodness for little things

Like hitting a zine fair with a wallet full of loonies:
















The cutest pink embroidery scissors and fun patterns from Sublime Stitching:


















The giant thimble at Spadina + Richmond:




















And sassy posters on Queen St:

I still don't know

"What's a zine ????

That's a pretty catchy title you have for your blog. I printed Mom the article you posted about The Teacher/Angela's Ashes. Thanks.

Have a great day !!!

Tania: it wasn't well advertised, I almost missed it too.

Dad: zines are little magazines made by anyone with access to a photocopier. And yeah, I'm clicking!

What a great poster! I've still have yet to go to Urban Herbivore, but their poster makes me smile (although I would be too tempted to pull out a pen and change "and so are those that wear it" to "and so are those who wear it." I know - I suck.)

And I love the idea of a zine-fest. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for future ones!

ha ha, have you been reading "Eats, Shoots, Leaves" lately? I have a few grammatical pet peeves too.

ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh, I am intensley jealous of all those zines (intensley jealous in the good way though) and I didn't know SS had new patterns...those kitchen ones are amazing...I may just have to buy some.

ps....how many of your grammatical pet peeves do I bust? heh heh

I have never heard of "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" ... until now, that is. I have a suspicion that book is going to find its way onto my bookshelf... :)

Mel: you have the most eloquent was of using profanity, I always laugh out loud when I read your letters! There was one about how exciting it is to hang laundry, OMG it was a great description.

Mishka: I mislead you, Eats Shoots and Leaves is actually about punctuation, not grammar, but it gets me on a high horse about all things written when I browse it

whoa Sean, that IS cool! I didn't make the connection!
