Scala & Kolacny Brothers

I am not sure which ad it was but but the song of the ad Every Breath You Take (originally sung by U2) by Belgium choir Scala & Kolacny Brothers catches my attention. I Shazam the song and I found this Belgium choir has been out for a while and they sing quite a bit of pop songs which are specially made arrangements of well-known musicians and bands such as Oasis, Björk, Radiohead, U2, Nirvana, Depeche Mode, Muse, Rammstein, etc. Their songs have been on movies and tv shows as well. I don't think you can download their songs on iTune or Spotify. One of the album is only available to download in UK and US.... but you can listen to their songs on YouTube, they're really good!

New stocks

I have a very busy weekend taking photos and updating the etsy shop, more drawings, tidy up the stocks, trying to do everything together before Creative Lane the october market... by the end of the process, I just feel like a machine, unfold the fabric, take a photo, fold it back... oh my... I think I will never do everything at the same time again...

New stocks available on our etsy store:

While sitting at the work desk and day dreaming. I would love to dream to go to Canada. Iain and I love all the mountains, trees, bear etc etc. It's a beautiful country has too much to share. People always talk about the animals, the snow and the nature of this country but I've never heard of Canadian food. When I did a search on Lonely Planet today it said " Canada is a local food smorgasbord. If you grazed from east to west across the country, you’d fill your plate like this: lobster with a dab of melted butter in the Atlantic provinces, poutine (golden fries soaked in gravy and cheese curds) in Québec, a bulging slice of berry pie in the Prairies and wild salmon and velvety scallops in British Columbia (BC)." 

Oh well... sounds good to me!
