ENTER TO WIN these great Earrings, handmade by local designer Jasmine Virani!

Many of you ladies likely know the work of Ottawa designer Jasmine Virani (you can also find her on facebook).  Her collection is subtle and lovely, handcrafted in sterling silver, with just the right amount of accents.  If you have ever had the opportunity to meet her, you would also know that she is a about as nice and happy as you can get!  But did you know about why Jasmine is so special to us, here at Workshop and Flock?

Years and years ago (circa 2004), Christina, Jasmine and I met while selling our handcrafted goodies outdoors under those sketchy looking tents at the Byward Market.  Every morning, coffees in hand, we’d unload our stuff, set up our tables and tents and settle in for a long, hot day on the asphalt…

Needless to say, chit chat was the name of game and the three of us spent an uncountable number of hours hanging out on plastic lawn chairs and getting to know each other.

So, anyway, 8 years have gone by and Jasmine is now a celebrated local jeweller with a collection that is so unique I want every piece. And best of all, we’re giving away one of her fabulous pairs of earrings!

Feedback: The Lovely Adrienne

sometimes i get a real kick out of ambushing our customers, so yesterday at workshop i did just that.  i was looking for a…ahem…victim, when in walked Adrienne, one of workshop’s longest and most loyal customers.  i pounced on her (she had no idea what was coming!) and demanded to know what she was looking for (cute clothes), what she was doing browsing the market (it was her day off), and what she would like to wear to a fancy dinner (see pic above, great annie 50 party dress).  thanks adrienne!  hmmm…that was fun (probably more for me than for her!), i should do it again…
