one year and a contest!

So it has been one year since starting up my little lealou shop and I'm excited to share some new things I've been working on. But first... to celebrate my one year anniversary, I'm having a little contest giveaway!


This is called The Fall Leaves Clutch and you could be its owner! How you ask? Become a fan of my Facebook page and leave a comment telling me all the things you would stuff into this thing. If you're already a fan, be sure to leave a comment because you're eligible for the contest too! Now I know some of you don't like Facebook, so if you don't have an account; just leave a comment here and I'll add you to the contest.

The contest closes one week from today at 11:59pm (if you're still up that late!).

on to the new stuff...

This is Kaite my 'little' sister.


She's about 10 feet taller than me and I can fit both of my feet into one of her shoes which makes her perfect modeling material dontcha think?

She's holding the Fall Leaves Tote. If you like this little number, trek on over to my shop for a peek. There are more goodies over there that I'll feature on the blog this week and next.

Happy Thursday and don't forget to enter the contest!

by the lake

I was just over at decor8 commenting on a contest and the topic of the contest: You have an entire day off completely for yourself with $20; what would you do? reminded me of the time I went to the beach in Toronto last July 1st to read and people watch all day. There are always interesting people at the beach, but one guy was dressed in a black jogging suit and he had a head band on his head. The head band had a tennis ball attached to it from a string. He was jogging like a boxer in a ring down the boardwalk punching at the tennis ball. I tried to get a pic but he was too fast for me. That was the best people watching moment ever. I couldn't concentrate on my book after that.

Speaking of the Lake. I have a new blog that talks about my adventures of living by the lake in Toronto. I don't live on the Lake; you have to be a kajabillionaire to have that luxury, but I can see it from my bedroom window (in the winter when the leaves area all gone). Anyway I wanted to write about my adventures living there so check it out.

Oh and if you haven't commented yet on this contest - what are you waitng for? You have until Friday.

later gaters,
