(A.K.A. "The Big Reveal...Part 2")

We're pleased to announce the identity of the awesome Canadian company we developed a custom line of ShoovelopesTM for...it's Umbra! Check them out in-store now at the Umbra Concept Store in Toronto. And for those of you not in the Toronto area, you can pick one up through our online shop. Happy shopping!

This Just In...!

Hurray! We just got word that UrbanStitch Inc. has been accepted to the Vancouver One Of A Kind Show and Sale for December 2011!

(They like us, they really like us!!)

Needless to say, we're super excited to bring the ShoovelopeTM to the One Of A Kind craft show brand. Many Torontonians are already familiar with the One Of A Kind group of shows but if you haven't heard of this amazing artisan/craft show, you can read all about their shows here.

As always we are grateful for your support as fans and customers. In fact, pat yourself on the back right now because you've helped us get here! :o) Your continued support will help us bring ShoovelopeTM goodness to a whole new Canadian market. So tell all your friends and mark your calendars:

The Big Reveal...

As you may know, UrbanStitch Inc. has been hard at work on a custom line of ShoovelopesTM for an awesome Canadian company. They will be in-store very soon (probably this week) but we wanted to give you a sneak peak before we ship them off...

multi-coloured pin stripe interior fabric options.

Once they're in store, we'll further reveal what the awesome Canadian company is and how you can get your hands on one of these ShoovelopesTM. They certainly scream "spring time!"

On the Edge of our Seats...

Good news! We just received confirmation via email that our application to the Vancouver One of a Kind Show and Sale has been received.

They anticipate that the jury will have reviewed it in time such that we find out if we've been accepted or not by the end of February. We'll keep you posted!

The Application's in the Mail

Today is a big day for UrbanStitch Inc. for two reasons:

1. We just completed our applicaton to the Vancouver One of a Kind Show and Sale and dropped it in the mail. Now we wait on the edge of our seats until sometime in early to mid-March to (hopefully) hear some good news. Fingers crossed!

2. We just received our first order from the amazing Canadian company we mentioned last month. Now we're going to keep you on the edge of your seat as you wait to find out which company it is [insert pretend evil laugh here]. All will be revealed in early March.

A Space of Our Own

It's been a couple weeks since we last posted - time flies when you're putting together an application for the Vancouver 2011 One of a Kind Show...and doing other odds and sods!

Speaking of the application, one of the requirements is that artisans must share photos of where they make their wares. We've just taken our photos and thought you might like to see where the UrbanStitch Inc. magic happens.

Shop 'til You Drop

We've been busy as bees since getting back to the grind in 2011. You can see the fruits of our labour in our now stocked online shop.

Shop 'til you drop at www.etsy.com/shop/urbanstitch

PSSST! These make awesome Valentines gifts for that special someone, or for family and friends. We'll keep updating the shop with new products (including items from our men's line) as we make them so check the shop often for one (or two...or three...) that you absolutely must have.

Let us know what you think of the line so far. We always love hearing what fabrics, colours and styles you prefer.
