Meet the Makers Happy Hour

Today is our kick-off of Tool and Tack, with a happy hour event at Schatzelein (1713 S.1st st, near Annie st) from 4-6pm tonight. Swing by to meet and chat with Christine Fail, owner of Schatzelein, Matt Pierce of Wood & Faulk, and myself. There will be wine, cheese, and some sweet (not literally) pâtés from the talented Jackie of Pâté Letelier. Hope to see you there!!

Now back to work as we wrap up the last-minute details for Saturday.

Canoe Pop-Up Shop @ Public School!

The big day has finally come! If you've wondering what I have been hinting at on twitter for the last few weeks, guess no more. Mark your calendars for Friday, February 4th! Canoe is hosting a pop-up shop with our friends at Public School to debut our new line in Texas. We'll be offering classic American workwear, well-loved boots, fancy pocket knives, and hand tooled leather goods for sale. The shop will also feature hand sewn ties by This Humble Abode, rock’n’roll mirror portraits by Tom Runkle, and lunar calendars by Caitlin Galloway. 
 

While you shop, enjoy some excellent salami and pickles by local darling Salt & Time, washed down with Maker's Mark or a fine brew by Thirsty Planet Brewing. 

Stay tuned this coming week as we offer some sneak peeks from our talented group of artists. The Canoe pop-up shop will be open from 5:30-10pm and we hope to see you there!

Hello 2009

We're heading out to the Capay Farm for a wonderfully-themed "Greater Depression New Year's Eve Extravaganza". Both Ben and I are dressed liked hobos, and I spent the morning lamenting the fact that I can't grow a 5 o'clock shadow to match his. Oh well. I'm sure we'll have plenty of crazy photos of the costumed revelry next week for you all.

In the meantime, I wish you a very Happy 2009! May it bring you all the love, luck, and joy that you can handle. I see good things in our future.
