Scenes from Bows+Arrows

 

This weekend we had an amazing time at the Bows+Arrows Pop Up shop. After a few days away in Oakland, it was nice to come home to a Canoe event filled with friends new and old. The night also ended with drinks at Justine's, a favorite late night spot, so I went to bed happy.

We launched our new Fall collection of Canoe key chains, which will be up on the online shop shortly. Stay tuned to more sneak peeks this week and next of all the new products we'll be launching at Tool and Tack, which is just around the corner now (Saturday, 10/15). If you haven't been already, visit the blog and check out what the other vendors have been posting, including inspiration behind the goods and great sneak peeks.

 

In prep for the big day, we visited Gray Duck Gallery to discuss details and meet with our lovely florist, Mary Kathryn of Loretta Flower, and our photographer, Joe Gomez. Here's a look at our raw space--wait til you see what we have in store! I love scheming about merchandising and building displays with other creatives.

Canoe Pop Up at Bows & Arrows TONIGHT

 Don't forget! Tonight is our Canoe Pop Up event at Bows & Arrows, starting at 7pm with food by Salt & Time. We'll be there rocking out until 10pm, checking out the beautiful artwork by Laura Gammon Beard and catching up with friends. Can't wait. 215 S. Lamar / Suite C / Austin, TX 78704.

Tomboy Style + Pop-Up Update

via Tomboy Style

One of my favorite style blogs, Tomboy Style, recently launched a brilliant grid system for figuring out your tomboy style. This is truly dead-on and has some great inspiration points. Are you the American or the Import? I am all over the place on this grid and it's fun to mix and match!

Speaking of mixing (nice transition, right?), we have moved back our Bows + Arrows Pop-up event to Thursday, September 29th from 7-10pm. The original date was September 7th, but between the extreme heat and other craziness, we are moving our date back in hopes of cooler weather and also Style Week in Austin. We hope you can join us, as it should be a killer party with an art opening as well.

Canoe Pop-Up Recap

Hey there, friends! Sorry for the slow return, but it's taken me a while to bounce back from the madness of last week's Canoe pop-up shop.

It was, in a word, INSANE!! We had so many wonderful folks brave the ice and join us for an amazing evening. I spent all night dashing to and fro to welcome folks that I hardly had time to take any snaps. Here are a few, and I'm hoping to post some more soon.

The evening starting out quiet nice and we gathered a great crowd early on. Salami was eaten, whiskey was poured, and stylish men were everywhere--in my world, all good things.

It was a party that ol' Willie would have been happy to be at. Flannels were flying, and boots were walking out the door. We sold so many of our favorites, and heard such great stories from folks buying. I am sorting through goods now, so mark your calendars for this weekend--the shop will be up and running by this Sunday! I just wrote that, so I am now officially obligated to make it happen. See how that works?

I'll post more pics soon, once I track some more down. If you took photos at the event, hit us up at info@missnatalie.com.

Canoe Pop-Up Tonight + This Humble Abode

Tonight is THE night, friends! Our Canoe Pop-Up shop is happening later today from 5:30-10pm at Public School. We woke up to some lovely snow this morning here in Austin, which canceled my morning class (woo-hoo!) and gives us a bit more time to spit and polish everything. If you're looking for some cold weather clothes, Canoe has you covered. We have flannels galore, puffer vests, heavy wool jackets, sturdy boots, and lots of warm layers for you.

In addition to warm layers, we also have beautiful hand-sewn ties from This Humble Abode to spruce up that stylish outfit. Jenny hand-sews her ties on the bias, and will also have an array of hand-sewn handkerchiefs, available with or without some witty embroidery.

I am a HUGE handkerchief fan and have been collecting them since my high school days. They remind me of my father and also my grandfather, whose hankie I am using right now. They are durable, soft on your nose, and a personal item that carries both personal meaning and practical value, especially during cold days like we're seeing now. My grandfather is a big influence on the ideas behind Canoe, as he valued quality goods and was a superb craftsman who paid attention to the details.

The sun is out shining now, and it feels like a good day ahead. I can't wait to share what we've been working on with everyone, meet new/old friends, and have some laughs. Tonight we'll have some good whiskey to warm you up, salami to keep you going, and some great products to share. Be sure to come up and say hello-- I'll be the girl in the flannel with a big grin, probably hammering at a leather tag and sipping a hot toddie. See you there!

Pop-Up Vendor: Tom Runkle

We have a lot in store for folks this Friday night at the Canoe pop-up shop, including the amazing artwork of Tom Runkle. Tom is a cut glass artist who creates mirror portraits of classic rock-n-roll music icons.

Each of his portraits is cut by hand, not using a glass saw, because he's wonderfully old school like that.

 The butcher's favorite, Tom Waits.

Tom will have several pieces, both large and small, for sale on Friday, and you can also contact him for custom work.

Before we go, just a quick shout out to our new readers from Austin Thrillist--welcome! We had a great write up this morning, which you can check out here. Our Canoe online shop will be open for business on Saturday for those of you who can't make it to the pop-up event on Friday. Stay tuned this week for more sneak peeks and vendor highlights!

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!
