We are excited to announce the opening of this year's Summer Pop Up Shop. This year's Campesino is inspired by forgotten haciendas, the whirring of overhead fans, striped linens, the stillness of hot, hot days and simple, uncomplicated style.

In addition to the deconstructed beauty of Mandula's designs, we have brought in Ichi 2010 from Japan. This is their first time showing outside of Japan and I am not sure which one of us is more excited about this! Their one-size, airy linens are perfect for easy dressing. CP Shades will also be here with a line of bright white linen tunics and some hot pinks.

I have been in the studio a lot and I have so much new work. Most of the pieces are designed for family style dinners, to be enjoyed alfresco, of course. As well as the whites, greys, and blacks that are my favourite, there are some exciting new metallics (reminiscent of the tarnished cathedrals of Oaxaca), as well as some soft greys and nude glazes.

I've also brought in some lovely, wonky, green glassware from my trip to San Miguel de Allende. Also in store: large hand-loomed cotton bedspreads, turkish towels, handmade leather bags from Vancouver's Glasnost, new felted pieces from Greybelle Designs, House of Hudson jewellery and some stunning photos from Klee Hannah Larsen's visit to the hacienda, which, incidentally, inspired this year's theme. Vancouver's Woodlot will also be launching some brand new products in addition to their beloved candles.

With the opening of the Summer Shop, the online shop will also be updated with all the new products; this way, you can still come to the Pop Up even if you don't live here!

The Pop Up is open Saturday April 25 to Sunday May 10, from 10 am -5 pm daily.
