Vendor Spotlight – Saltwater Sandals

Saltwater Sandals are such a summer classic and we are so happy to be a retailer!
Our initial shipment is nearly sold out, but we do have a secondary shipment on the way.
We went with mainly the “Classic” for women & children. For little boys we ordered the tan “Surfer” and that was certainly popular!
We will most definitely be bringing these back for Summer 2016. And we will get braver with the colours. For this round we stuck with red, tan , navy and the patent yellow.

One of the best features of these sandals is that they are truly comfortable. You won’t have to break these in and suffer with blisters. If these do fit too tightly, get them wet and walk around your house. Instantly you will have the perfect fitting shoe. Not to mention the fact that you have most definitely seen these plastered all over Instagram worn by some of your favourite bloggers!

If you are a mom we highly recommend getting a pair for yourself and your Little. Twinning is so much fun!! For the kids we ordered sizes 3T to 8T.

We continue to be dazzled by Yas Imamura’s vintage inspired stationery line.

Her cards have been shop favourites since we opened in 2012. We are delighted that Quill and Fox’s range has expanded to weekly planners and magnetic memo pads.

Her work is feminine and sophisticated – and of course whimsical. She has a lovely hand lettering style and you all know how much we love our lettering!

Definitely worth a visit to the shop to see this gorgeous work in person!

At great long last we have re-stocked our Berkley Illustration prints and there are some awesome new prints to be had!

There is a very dapper looking wolf – and I love that green background.

My favourite is the bunny couple. I adore these two.

Casey loves the robin couple.

The gentleman badger is also a new addition.

We just adore Berkley Illustrations and we LOVE seeing our customers’ reactions to these whimsical prints. If we have you smiling when you enter our quaint little shop then we have done what we set out to do!

A Meadow Exclusive / Customize Your Very Own Satchel

We absolutely adore the Leather Satchel Company’s classic & beautiful handmade leather satchels. They are so durable and seem to get even better with age and the leather happens to be perfect for Vancouver’s rainy climate.

The Leather Satchel Company is the original UK satchel manufacturer. They began producing their iconic satchels in 1966. Their best known competitor is the Cambridge Satchel Company which was founded in 2008 – Cambridge’s tagline is “the original and the best” which is very interesting considering that both companies satchels are basically identical! The Leather Satchel Company says that they could never keep up with the Cambridge Satchel Company because each bag they produce is 100% handmade – hence allowing for customization!

We will be placing a new order very soon and we really wanted to let everyone know what you can order a customized satchel – completely to your unique taste! You can have several colour combinations and finishes of leather. You can even add your monogram! You can hop on over to their website for more information on the ordering process and stop by the shop and look over our dreamy leather swatches.

Vendor Spotlight / Birds of North America

Birds of North America is a Canadian clothing line, well described as “vintage-classic” . They are best known for their impeccably fitting dresses, but also offer tops, skirts, pants and coats. The dresses certainly do have a vintage vibe, but they are so easy to wear and comfortable that you will want to wear your BoNA pieces everyday. They somehow hide all of your problem areas with expertly placed darts and pleats which seem to work on just about every body type.

BoNA Founder and Designer Haley Gibson is originally a West Coast gal, now residing in Montreal. She began BoNA in 2007 and her clothing is available in shops throughout Canada and the US. We are very happy to be one of the few Vancouver shops to carry her line.

Here at Meadow we have completely fallen in love with Haley’s designs. You will be floored by the great quality and attention to detail. We encourage you to come by the shop and try on a couple of dresses – and be amazed at the fit!
