Here we are with just 1 more month left of summer vacation! I still have so many bike rides, lake swims + bonfires to fit in before the end of the season. And I may sound like a broken record but I really can't believe how quickly the shop's first summer is flying by! Anyways, it's not over yet + I've got some really fun workshops planned for you this month including 3 guest hosts!
Tuesday August 9
Learn to Weave Workshop 6:30 - 8:30
I first learned this beautiful craft during a summer living in Argentina! If you love working with textures and want a reason (or another) to play with gorgeous yarns, this traditional craft is a great place to start! Join me for an introductory session and make your own wall hanging. From this workshop you will take home you're handmade woven wall hanging as well as the tools needed to continue practicing your new skills!
This workshop is perfect for creators of all skill sets :) $40 Price includes all materials + refreshments
Thursday August 18
Bookbinding Workshop 7:00 - 9:00
The ancient art of bookbinding has played such an important role in our history + is the backbone of one of my favourite pastimes. So I'm very excited to welcome Eliza Harrigan to introduce us to this beautiful art form. Eliza will lead us through the creation of a hard cover blank journal. And you will not only take home a beautiful handmade book to record your dreams, ideas, inspiration + sketches but also the knowledge + skills to continue exploring this historical form of art.

Terrarium Workshop 11:00 - 12:30
Ashley of effie pots & co. joined us on our grand opening to host a build-your-own terrarium + everyone had such a good time that we decided to do it again! Ashley will walk participants through the planning + planting of a glass + concrete terrarium while learning about how to care for your new little cacti + succulents. Dress it up with driftwood, crystals, dinosaurs or woodland creatures! Attendees will take home one handmade terrarium. There are only a limited number of spots available and participants must pay in advance to reserve their spot.

Call to Bike Loving Ladies!
A very good friend of the shop also has a fun proposal this month! Please get in touch with Miranda if you are interested!
Hello Ladies of Orillia,
I am putting a call out to see if there is any interest in a Bike Maintenance Workshop.
Orillia has some of the best trails, it is a convenient way to get around and I love being out on my bike -- am looking for 5 other like-minded people. Velocity Cycle on Mississauga St. has the room + equipment and have offered to host a workshop at a reasonable price. They suggested that learning how to properly change a tire is a good place to start when getting to know a bike. If interest remains, the bike learning could be continual. The Bike Maintenance Workshop would be scheduled for a Sunday or Monday evening mid-late August, depending on those interested.
Did I mention there would be snacks?
If interested, please email miranda.minassian@gmail.com.
Thursday September 15
Fall Clothing Swap
Last spring we hosted a Summer Clothing Swap + it was so much fun! The items I picked up in the last swap have been staples in my summer wardrobe + that makes me so happy (new clothes on the cheap while being eco-friendly?! #winning) So... In case you are starting to get the urge to clean up/clear out/update your wardrobe for the coming fall season don't get rid of your pile of "donate" clothes just yet. Keep them in a bag or basket off to the side + sign up for our Fall Clothing Swap!! More details to come in the September announcement but think button ups, sweaters, pants, tights, work clothes, scarves/mitts/hats, outerwear etc.
Don't forget to sign up in advance if you want to participate in any of the workshops or information sessions! Sign up can be done by phone (705-327-9220), email (haroldferneshop@gmail.com), DM on social media or by coming into the shop. Can't wait to participate in these amazing evenings with you!!
Enjoy the rest of your summer!
