ONE OF A KIND TIME

It's One of a Kind time! Come visit us at booth N-08 from Wednesday until Sunday evening. There will be a lot of items from 2012 at slightly discounted prices...

SEEN : SAYULITA SCARF

Scout & Catalogue first began as a line of hand dyed cushions but quickly evolved to scarves and bags. This is a picture of the very first scarf I made for the line - the Sayulita scarf. Hand dyed jersey with stud details - I wanted something I could wear as a scarf, a sarong or use as a beach blanket. After this cold and wet winter I wish I was able to keep my tan as well as my Mexican memories forever.

BOOTHS AND CABINS

The country north of Toronto is so beautiful in the winter and I'm lucky enough to have friends with homes I can visit. This past weekend was spent in the woods going for walks, eating great food and pulling together my One of a Kind booth. The show starts this Wednesday (27th) - make sure to visit if you're in the Toronto area - booth N-08.

OFFICE IN A BAG

Over the next few weeks, while I'm in Toronto, my office will be my trusty Love Triangle Amor Tote...

LIBRO GRANDE MADNESS

Coming soon - two new Libro Grande Clutches just in time for Spring! Both are exclusive prints by S&C and are the perfect (large) size to fit everything you need for travelling, organizing or a night out. They will be available mid-April when we are back from Toronto - I'll let you know when they launch in the online shop!

ESSENTIALS : FIELDGUIDED

We asked Anabela of Fieldguided what essentials she keeps in her S&C clutch (her fav is the Libro Grande Constellation) and she was more than willing to oblige us.  Pop over to her post to see more pictures and read the details on what she can't leave home without...

AHOY TORONTO

This week I am heading to Toronto to see friends and participate in the One of a Kind show (March 27 - 31, booth N-08). It will be the first time I return after leaving last December and I'm really excited. Just a quick note that anything purchased in the online shop from Tuesday onwards will not be shipped until the first week of April...

LESS RAIN

The five day forecast says rain. The last five days have rained. At this time of year people in Vancouver get excited about days with less rain. Not no rain - less rain.

When I close my eyes I picture the photo above - I can not stop thinking about the Mexican sun.

ESSENTIALS : HAPPY AUGUST

Last week I did a post listing what I carry with me day to day and it got me thinking about what other girls keep in their S&C bags and clutches. When I saw Heidi of the cute stationary shop Happy August post the contents of her S&C Wanderlust tote bag on Instagram I thought I would ask and, hopefully, these posts will become a regular feature around here. 
Here is what Heidi considers her essentials:
'There's usually more stuff in my bag but I've just started to use my new S&C tote. I always carry my two leather wallets (Falconwright, Beef & Lamb). The smaller one is for coins. I'm a heavy user of hand lotion (Make Up Store) and lip balm (Smith's Rosebud Salve and Clarins) so I can't go anywhere without them. Nowadays I'm trying to take better care of my nails so I usually have a nail file and some nail polish (Depend (the glittery one) & Dry Fast Top Coat - Seche Vite) with me just in case I'll find the time to use them. Usually don't.'
You can check out Heidi's shop here and follow her on Instagram here.
Note - the Wanderlust Tote is no longer in stock but we do have a our 100% recycled cotton Amor Love Triangle tote in stock in the online shop.

A NEW STUDIO

When I decided to move home to Vancouver people warned me that finding affordable studio space would be tricky. Really, finding affordable anything in Vancouver can be tricky, but because I grew up here I was more than confident that something would show up the second I started looking. Many, many seconds have passed since then and finally (finally) I have secured studio space that I'm really excited about. In April (that is 4 months after I initially started my search!) I will be moving into the space shown in these beautiful images and will be sharing it with the lovely Ryley O'Byrne and Aiya Feldman. I am over the moon to have a studio outside of my home, to share the space with two talented ladies and to finally, finally be able to get S&C back in full swing. Countdown to April begins now!

HAWAIIAN COCONUT

A few days ago through Anabela's post on the lovely blog Fieldguided I discovered the beautiful photography of Emily Faulstich who records her travels and daily inspiration on her tumblr called Hawaiian Coconut. I spent a good chunk of the morning scrolling through her sun drenched photos and realized that she has spent quite a bit of time in Puerto Vallarta. I have often regretted the lack of photos I took while living there (I blame work burn out and general laziness) so it was a treat to see the town captured so beautifully by Emily. Through her lens I feel a little bit closer to the beauty and chaos that was my life in Mexico...

LEDGER MAGAZINE

Love seeing the Galileo Moon Scarf on the cover of Craft & Culture's Ledger magazine. We have been sold out of the scarf for months but they still have a few (as well as other S&C goodies) in their online shop.
Thanks to all who entered the giveaway for the OOAK tickets - the winners are Tara - Lyn and Ari. Please email your mailing address to info@scoutandcatalogue.com so I can send them out to you ASAP.
As well on Friday I mentioned that I was going to sell a small batch of marbled goods this week and the response was overwhelming. I just wanted to mention that the marbled leather IS moving forward but I'd like to get the production quality absolutely perfect before listing them which means I won't be selling them immediately. They will be available in the next few months - I'm as excited as you and can't wait to have them in the shop!

THE IRIS

Our hand dyed silk Iris scarf will be back in stock this spring! I'm spending the next few days dyeing some for the One of a Kind show - if you can't make it to the show they will be available in our online shop this April...

ONE OF A KIND TICKETS

It's that time of year again - the One of A Kind Spring Show! This year I'll be flying back to take part (March 27th - 31st) and I have some free tickets I'd like to share with you so you can visit me (booth N-08). I have two sets of two tickets to give away so if you live in the Toronto area and would like to go to the show head over to our online shop and then write a comment below stating your name and what current S&C item is your favourite. The two winners will be chosen at random this Wednesday morning and announced here.

Good luck and hope to see you at the end of the month!

MARBLE

I've been working on some leather marbling and hand sewing experiments recently - looking to create some phone/sunglass/coin/card case options for S&C. I am still in the prototype phase but am really excited about where things are heading and think I'll be listing a small collection of these hand marbled goods next week in the shop to see how the response is. I'll let you know more about when they will be listed in a few days!
