Time-Lapse: Winter Solstice Lunar Eclipse

It was so worth staying up for!
I've seen many images of the eclipse, but this time-lapse video is one of my favourites.

Biko Kaleidoscope in BlogTO's Gift Guide

I know this link has been all over Facebook and back (yesterday), but I have to be a responsible girl and post it on my blog, right?

My favourite quote from the write-up is: "Biko leading lady Corrine Anestopoulos dares you to "see the world in a different dimension" while using your portable kaleidoscope around town. When was the last time a string of pearls worked that hard?"  It's so true!

Winner!

The winner of the Bijou and Boheme Giveaway is Trina!   Trina is the writer of La La Lovely, a blog on all things lovely, based in Rockford, Illinois.  She will be sent a pair of the Biko Carnelian Leafdrops, pictured below. Be sure to check out her blog!

OOAK Toronto Round-Up

OMG, so much to say.  It's been very long and so much has happened over here!  I'll start with posting a round-up of the Toronto One of a Kind Show, which ended on Dec 5th.  Just a few final pictures of my booth, along with some other cool booths with great handmade products.

Me in the Biko booth, reaching under the glass for a necklace!

I call this the 'dollhouse effect.'  Each room is so different from the next, but you can see all that's happening at once.

Here's my neighbour, Avril Loreti.  She designs amazing and playful modern home decor and accessories.
Check out her SITE and ETSY PAGE.

This is Gosia.  She creates unbelievable miniature shadowboxes, sculptures, and illustrations.  I'm a huge fan of her work.

Very cute, especially the little guy on the far right!

I saw these super cool wool 'taxidermy' animals by Felt Factory and just had to buy the unicorn (named Luna) to hang in my studio.

The detail is amazing, and each animal has it's own personality and expression.  Some make me laugh, while others make me feel dreamy and full of wonder. Visit their SITE.

I came across this picture of Brittany, one of the Biko interns.  She's rocking the Effie Bow Necklace, and looking so beautiful and stylish... I just had to share this picture (sorry Brit).
