There is a garden in my head that I’d like to plant into the store. Because of this I’m awake too early in the morning after only a few hours of sleep. I can hear the birds calling and the sun slowly roasting this Tuesday. When the garden is better transplanted, I’ll post up photos again. I’m wondering if people who walk into Stevie will think ‘what a cluttered little store’.

I feel a little guilty we do not spend as much energy selling our clothing. But I believe (not unshakably) in letting the presence behind ‘design’ tell the story of our clothes. So I’m going to spend today harvesting the viburnum from our neighbor florist on Erskine Road and more and more and more will creep up our walls…

I never promised you a rose garden.
