Pure Handknit: A Brand We Love!

 

We’re absolutely delighted to be introducing Pure & Co.’s Hand knit sweaters to Stuff & Nonsense (and our sister store Twang & Pearl) this season.  Not only are the sweaters themselves beautiful, soft and so delightfully cozy, they are also knit ethically in a place we love, Chiang Mai, Thailand.  Pure Handknit employs over 4500 knitters, providing these women with not only a job but also paid health care, maternity leave and a continuing education program.  The company is also dedicated to reducing their environmental footprint and uses solar energy to heat and cool their headquarters in Canada & Thailand.

So come on in and wrap yourself in warmth & beauty.  You can feel good about a Pure Handkint Sweater purchase both inside and out!

Ride with a pure heart …

Ride with a Pure Heart.  That’s on a button by our friends at Sister Sister Buttons and it’s an apt one for the weekend after next.  Fulford Spokespeople (our sweet new neighbours) are hosting a “Bike Fest” Saturday, August 6th from noon to 6 pm to celebrate their opening.  There will be a ribbon cutting at 12:30 pm, a bike swap meet from 1pm to 3pm plus a raffle and music.  Oh and if you’re a kid and you like to deck out your bike, prizes for the most creatively decorated bike in three age groups will be awarded at 2pm.  So cycle on down to Fulford Saturday  the 6th (with a pure heart) for a day of fun and help welcome Spokespeople to the ‘hood!  P.S. Stuff & Nonsense will of course be open and we’ve got several cycling Sister Sister buttons to choose from, and maybe even a few things to bedeck your bike!

Summer time, and the shopping is sweet!

 

This is the part of the sunny season when bargain shoppers rejoice.  It’s summer clothing sale season!  This summer even those of us who tend to shop in season can rejoice as well, as summer has barely started.  I froze my toes all throughout the end of June and early July in my flip flops and only busted out a swishy short skirt (sans leggings) for the first time last week.  So here’s your chance to head out into the ‘dog days’ of summer in style (and for less!).

At Stuff & Nonsense we’re having a rare early occurrence … our entire APRIL CORNELL summer clothing collection is ON SALE.  Better yet, the more pieces you buy the more you save:  Buy one piece and save 20%, buy two pieces save 30%, buy three or more pieces save 40% off each piece!  As always it is a beautiful breezy summer collection, and since it just hasn’t been that summery in these parts there’s a little more to choose from than usual this time of year.

Come quick to get your pick, including this beautiful silky skirt!
