If you still have moments where you're like "wow, this is really cool rock" and you slip that rock into your pocket for later because hey, cool rock, congratulations, you're not a grown up yet ;)
Beach Findings
TOMMY THOMPSON PARK
Having grown up in the land-locked city of Toronto, actual "sea-glass" wasn't something I experienced as a kid. However, when I lived downtown I made regular treks to a place called Tommy Thompson Park (colloquially, the "Leslie Street Spit").
The "Spit", as it's known, was created during the excavation of Toronto's Yonge subway line. The refuse from the construction was dumped in the lake where it formed a finger out into the inner harbour. Over the following years, the land created was taken over by nature, and today it forms an important (and protected) stopover for migratory birds.

FOUND TREASURE
Owing to the nature of the Leslie Street Spit, (the wind and wave patterns, and the nature of the material that's been dumped there), it's a pretty nifty place to find pretty nifty things. And HERE you can find coloured glass, rocks that have no business being on a Toronto beach, and odd things like stacks of telephone poles, old safes and piles of discarded toilets (no colourways coming from the discarded toilets though).
And this month's "Findings" collection is all about just that; finding the unexpected in the mundane, celebrating gentle, wearable, natural colours, and creating beauty from the little things that we, like magpies, stuff into our pockets.
THE COLOURS
NINE GRADIENTS
The nine new gradients span the gamut, from bright and springy, to muted and wearable. I actually think some of these will shine more on our non-shiney bases (I realize how silly that sounds) like Killarney and Rideau. Because I think it will be lovely, I'm including limited runs of Niagara silk singles in this one as well. Make sure you check out the latest shopping guide to see detailed photos of each colourway! Collection launches tomorrow :)
