Field Trip: Walrus

Fri was actually overnice equally I had a fleck of extra fourth dimension as well as dropped yesteryear local Vancouver shop, Walrus after a coming together as well as had a fleck of a chat alongside owners Caroline as well as Daniel. They get got lots of gorgeous novel things inwards the store as well as I only had to get got a few pictures (some a fleck blurry, sorry) to present you. Although they don't get got an online store (sounds similar things are inwards the works), ane tin e-mail them if you're interested inwards anything. I totally dearest those doormats (above) - aren't they cute? Makes me desire to cash inwards one's chips dorsum as well as selection ane up. Both Caroline as well as Daniel are thus knowledgeable alongside their products as well as the people who brand them, which makes for a actually overnice shopping experience. I loved talking to them almost everything they had inwards stock as well as finding out almost novel makers. Like these mortar as well as pestles (below). This is such gorgeous materials from a companionship called Raumgestalt out of the Black Forest, Germany. Caroline showed me the lid which also flips over to cash inwards one's chips an actual lid thus you lot could store whatever you lot were crushing afterwards. Love this.

The same companionship makes this beautiful board as well as (pottery-style grater/serving dish) - perfect for ginger. Beautiful (has a Japanese experience to it).

I also loved these lilliputian pots (by Potting Shed) which after you lot get got started them on your windowsill, you lot tin as well as thus constitute the entire pot into the ground. I desire the lavender. Perfect for Mother's Day.

And this plane feeder (Born inwards Sweden). Um, thus sweet. It suctions to your window! Around $25.

Cool to know they are also carrying the Fatboy business - (I intend solely a few shops are inwards Vancouver) thus this is cool to see. Love this domestic dog bed.

And new-to-me pottery yesteryear Cathy Terepocki (out of Saskatoon) who also makes pendants - (see below).

They're also carrying the novel aprons (and 'Bon Journey Bags) from The New Domestic. I haven't had a adventure to run across local designer Nerissa Goco, but I'm inwards dearest alongside her designs (and she also has a beautiful blog)!

And last, but definitely non to the lowest degree - these adorable ceramic birdhouses (and feeders) thoughtfully made as well as handcrafted yesteryear Jim Schatz out of Brooklyn. I dearest that he made theem thus that preying birds can't larn inwards as well as steal eggs (and such cracking colours)!
