Spring Fling at Scadding Court (March 23)

With spring on the way - at least, in these northern parts, we hope it is! - I am planning on taking even more spring items to my next show, which is called "Spring Fling". It's being held on March 23 at Scadding Court, which is at Bathurst St. and Dundas West. Full details at the end of this post.




And with some of the fashion trends forecast, I think I'll offer customers my very versatile tunics with peplums, as peplum skirts are part of the silhouette trend this year.

One is shown on the model in the photo. What's really useful about my tunics - which are made from washable Dupioni - is not only that they travel well, they can be worn with the V-neckline at the front or reversed for a plunging back neckline look!









Other customers may also find my crop jackets, in 100% cotton spandex, a must-have for the hotter weather. These jackets are unlined, so they are great for warmer temperatures on patios but also provide some coverage when you are inside with the A/C cranked up (which it usually is in most offices).







I'll still be offering some of my one-of-a-kind vests, in brighter or pastel shades for the coming spring-summer season. These vests can quickly dress up a T-shirt or add a layer over a camisole, plus they pair well with skirts, jeans, dresses, etc.

I've just made two new vests in colors that customers are describing as "gorgeous" - for example, a combination of ecru, periwinkle and gray and another in a combination of aqua, silver and white. I create the fabrics for the fronts of these vests using my Maypole Weave (TM) technique.

Spring Fling hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Entrance is on Bathurst St, just south of Dundas St. West. The event is being held in the gym.

Streetcars serve this location on both Bathurst (from the Bathurst subway station) and on Dundas (with subway connection at Dundas on the Yonge line).  Scadding Court is also walking distance from Trinity Bellwoods, Little Italy and Kensington Market.

Spring Has Sprung Craft Sale!

Even though the winter may still be hanging around, signs suggest it's on its way out and spring is on its way in!

Get a jump on Spring, plus Easter too, at my next craft sale.

Harobed Designs is taking part in the "Spring Has Sprung Craft Sale" being held in Elmira, ON, on Sunday, March 17.

As usual, I'm busy planning what to take...

With wedding season not far away, I may take some of my closet accessories, for anyone looking for a shower gift. Many of my padded hangers are made from silk, so add a touch of luxury to any closet.

Ditto some of my aprons. The gorgeous royal blue apron at left has always been a favorite. (Hint: it's one hundred percent washable Dupioni!)

The one at right is also 100% washable silk - a great way to make an impression as the "hostess with the mostest" next time you entertain.










I may offer some of my vests... they are great transitional pieces as the weather warms up. Wear them with a  sweater, blouse or long-sleeve t-shirt to the office or out to dinner. All are one-of-a-kind designs  - once they're gone, they are gone.

The show is being held at:

Elmira Lions Hall
40 South Street West
Elmira, On N3B 2Z7

Show hours are: 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

As well as a range of craft vendors, the Easter Bunny is making an early appearance. Admission to the show is free. And, there are door prizes!
