Sneak peek

We've been busy sampling our new fall line and Glenda snapped a few photos this week so you can have a little sneak peek. Margaret is wearing new wool coat sample that has yet to be named.

The Sooke skirt now in the shops with the new wool tee sample. We have since done a new sample of the tee and looks much better.

A longer wool tee with silk screened fancy collar worn with the Le Petite Skirt.

New size added

We are all rushing out the door to start our weekend but I thought some of you might like to know that we have graded our Calamity Jane top up another size.  Next week we will make some of these lovelies up in new fabric that just arrived. It is so pretty.

Have fun this weekend!

The littlest seahorse

Last night I saw the cutest picture in the world! And even better I am sharing it with all of you!! This is my niece Georgie in her adorable seahorse onsie. Just when I thought she couldn't get any sweeter...

Smoking Lily Meets the Pope!

Well, sort of....This is Erin from the Vancouver shop reporting in with a lovely photo of our infamous Pierre tee visiting the Vatican! Thanks to my handsome brother-in-law, Mark, for being a Lily model in Rome; now, hopefully he will be able to resist pirouetting behind His Holiness' back....

I can't believe it's bamboo.

Korinne just finished sewing the prettiest tunic top.  It is based on the Calamity Jane top but it is 12 inches longer and has a pretty butterfly printed on one of the two pockets.  The best part of the tunic though, is that it is made in 100% bamboo organza. 

Nicole is busy right now sewing up a new version of our Seville dress.  We scooped the neck and used a vintage looking brown cotton with a sweet Swiss dot.  Think  Julia Roberts at the horse races in Pretty Woman.

In other news, we had an in house contest open to only Smoking Lily staff this week.  The contest was to come up with an idea for staff uniforms.  All of their ideas were good, one person suggested purple tear-aways, which was pretty funny, someone had quite an ingenious plan that used up surplus materials, there were Arnold Swartzenagger quotes, and  lots of apron ideas but my favourite is this one..." To me, the answer is obvious ... anything and everything we've already made!  Smoking Lily is the uniform, with a wide range of beautiful pieces you can mix and match..." Congratulations Steph, you're the winner!  Good job ladies,  I had a lot of fun going through your responses.
