What I pack when I'm on vacation

What I pack when I'm on vacation

What I've been up the past week ๐Ÿฉต

Hi friend,

The past few days, I've been out of office as I literally have been at sea - on a cruise vacation. So grateful to have this time with family, creating memories, and making time to create and rest as well after a very hectic past few weeks. I picked upย this book by Emily Lex Studioย and have been enjoying painting on the go, of course with ourย Calligraphy Travel Kitย and myย favorite travel watercolor palette. I love using theseย water brushesย for minimal messes too! I thought these beautiful colors very much complemented our Coastal Collection.

Even though I've been away, I've been loving seeing what you guys pick up the past few days. Thank you so much for supporting this collection, which is our very first community-designed one, byย Roxanne Harrison! While we've loved creating designs suggested by you, this time, Roxanne hand-drew all these illustrations, which are just so beautiful, and as my team likes to say - very Vancouver style.

Coastal Breeze Wax Sticks

This one has been top of the list in terms of popularity - and I can't believe I get to enjoy all this in real life right now! Pair these with our wax cutters for ease of use.

Jellyfish Wax Seal

Theย Jellyfish Wax Seal Stampย follows a close second with its intricate design. I'm so grateful we get to have Roxanne's amazing illustration in such a 3D, sculpted wax version!

Conch Shell Wax Seal

Seriously though - you need to see this shell in real life and be amazed at the detail we were able to create in this. I can't wait for you all to receive it!

So many transitions

The past few weeks, we've had to navigate some pretty big possible changes, and one of them has been our current warehouse space. Ever since we moved a portion of our inventory down to the USA, we've been managing two locations and it also means our current space feels a bit bigger than we need. On top of that, there has been issues as well with our landlord situation, forcing us to start looking for another space. If you can please keep us in prayers as we navigate this change - as it's a big one. Moving isn't easy, and getting all of these setup hopefully in the next few months before the holidays will be challenging too. Thank you so much for keeping us in your prayers and for supporting our small business.

xoxo, Karla
