5 things I am currently obsessed with....

I sometimes get obsessed with things, who doesn't.

My 5 obsessions for July 2014 are....

1. Bloggers..... I love kids style blogs and lifestyle bloggers with kids and people making great kids clothes.  This is a whole new world for me..... and I'm slightly obsessed.  How do they do it?

A few of my favorites are Oh Joy and The Alison Show and Quinn and Fox I love way too many to list.  One of my favorites Hello Apparel is going to be available at Kelly's Shop very soon and I am very excited about this.

 

 

2. Instagram!  I love IG.  If you want to follow me I am Kelly_Kellys basically it is 90% pictures of my daughter Ramona and 10% cats or dogs.  People I love to follow on instagram are yourmom206 and andysheath and about 450 other people I follow.

 

3. The book Girlboss I downloaded the audio version on iTunes and am loving it.  It is about the girl that started the Nasty Girl website.  She started on Ebay and has worked her way up.  If you read it let me know if you like it as much as I do.

 

4. Advanced Style the documentary has come out and I still have not seen it.  I love the book and the you tube channel.  I need this movie to come to the Regent Theatre in Picton. 

I HATE when people come into Kelly's Shop and say the store is too young for them, this drives me crazy.  Wear what you love and be confident in your fashion choices and you will never have to worry about something being "age appropriate". 

 

5. Keeping my blog more up to date!  It has been over a year since my last post.  Shame on me..... I've pretty much been lazy I guess mainly just updating my FB and letting my website die.... Lets see if I can keep up the momentum, I promise myself to post at least once a week.

 

New Year = New Gift Certificates!

I received my new gift certificates just before christmas and I am really happy with the outcome.  I had help from my friend Niall Eccles who does all the Kelly's Shop art work.  And My friends Chrissy and Kyle who own Spark Box Studio, they did all the technical and design aspects!  I should also mention the buttons were made at one inch round, they make a lot of really fantastic products.Thank you.

Christmas is coming!

Christmas is just over a month away, so come in and pick up some of the awesome new dci arrivals. For quick and easy decorating, use the new dci inflatable wreath which comes with its own hang tab and string, the dci jam band ornaments, and more holiday themed Yummy Pockets with shapes such as gingerbread men, christmas trees, and stockings

No one does Halloween like Martha

I'm in love with these pumpkins from the latest issue of Martha Stewart. I really want to try this for display at the shop.

Happy Halloween month!

For the month of October I am going to try and post things that are Halloween related.... any thing spooky creepy and or haunted.  Things pertaining to vampires, ghosts and the paranormal.  Or costumes and pumpkins. Anyways, I'm sure you understand what I am getting at.... so, here is day one, October 1st.

Canada Day in Picton 2011

Come and drop into Kelly's on July 1st for some Canada day fun. 

There's going to be a dog parade on Main Street so bring your pug, and drop into the store from 10 am to 5 pm to get your unique "sketchy" character illustrations done by Niall Eccles. And for all the race car fans, come see Henry Schnieder's race car parked outside my store during the day!

Also, Nella Casson is coming in again with her "Spirit Strands" feather hair extensions that are perfect for summer and can be styled with your own hair. They last up to three months and can even be placed into your pet's hair for some Canada day animal flair! 

Character of the day features Kelly's Shop!!

I am actually just sharing Niall Eccles Character of the Day blog it's pretty much cheating.... but, I just wanted to share it.  so with my best intentions here is Niall's Blog.

"Hey, do you remember the Character Of The Day for Nov. 16, 2010? I'm sure you don't, but it was 'Ferris' - the first character in a 'Kelly's Shop' series (as seen below). Well, now we're finally getting around to meeting the rest of the characters in that series, for today's Character Of The Day is the second in the series: Henry! (Also seen below)."

"If you've been following my COTD project for a while, you've probably seen me mention Kelly's Shop quite a bit. That's because it's an actual shop in Picton, Ontario, owned by my friend Kelly Roblin. Kelly sells a lot of  COTD artwork (sometimes originals, currently prints) through her store, but that's not why it's an amazing place. No, Kelly's Shop is nothing less than a world of wonders unto itself. It's a gathering place, a hipster hideaway, a crafter's den, a small dog game preserve, a collector's paradise, a way-back knick knack shack, a demonic sock-hop, an illegal speakeasy, a secret celebrity rehab clinic, and the fashion capital of Prince Edward County.

Anyway, I thought it'd be cool to have a Character Of The Day series set in the magical land that is Kelly's Shop. So if you're inclined to hang around this week, you should end up meeting a few characters from in and around the happeninest shop in town..."
