This week the Hub Halifax is hosting a pop-up retail display of Tamper's products so pop down to 1679 Barrington Street on the second floor to have a look at some of the hats, mitts, leg warmers, pins and earrings on display. If you see something you like you can call me at the number posted to arrange payment.

Patches and Pop-up Retail
I had a great response last week to Tamper's recycled sweater flowers and leather wrist cuffs. I'm working on more of those this week and adding some recycled sweater patches with needle felted designs on them. I'm waiting for some blue skies so I can take some nicely lit photos of the new products.

Upcycle!
New at this weeks market table are lots of recycled or upcycled accessories. Pictures are soon to come but for now come on down to Pavillion 20 at the Seaport Farmer's Market in Halifax, Saturday's from 8 to 4 and check out some of the great Christmas gifts Tamper has to offer:
- new flowers from old sweaters made into hair clips and pins. $10
- recycled legwarmers at $25 a pair for those of use who want to be eco friendly but don't quite have $40 for the organic individually knit legwarmers.
- new wrist cuffs from old leather jackets cut into organic shapes that play with positive and negative space hinting at tree and leaf imagery.
And for the organic-philes among us check out the new 40's flapper style organic wool headbands - a great alternative to hats for keeping ears warm.
Photos to come.

Home in Halifax
It's been a full week this week with a big move for me from Dartmouth to Halifax. I love my new home but I'm not quite settled in yet so there's not a lot of news from the business side of things. This week I'm knitting up a lot of hats.
I'll soon be marking the end of my current supply of organic cotton and the organic wool is already all knit into garments. That means new colours on the way. Here are some organic cottons that I'm considering:
And here are some of the organic wools:
I'm excited to start working with them.
