The last 6 weeks here at Adhesif Clothing have gone by in what feels like mere moments. I came across a quote once that has stuck in mind for years after I read it. "Occupy your time with something that makes hours feel like minutes...that is certainly true of my profession. Even if there were 48 hours in the day, there still wouldn't be enough time.
With that said I will fill you all in with what I've been busy with here in Adhesif Clothing land.
Since my last posting, there has been a new art hanging in the shop by local painter Cynthia Miller...
Vancouver
artist and teacher Cynthia Miller leads viewers on an exotic journey
through colors sights and movements. Cynthia's paintings are
inspired by several years traveling, studying and working in Europe,
Australia, Latin America and Africa. The vivid styles of art in
countries like Guatemala, Cuba and France influence her bright
palette and lively subject matter.
All of the paintings currently on display at the Adhesif Clothing shop are Cynthia's oil paintings, which she told me takes approx 6 months just to dry!
If you are in the neighborhood swing by and have a look. You'll find yourself magically whisked away to the country side of France
...and without the expense of the airfare! ;)

Just as soon as Cynthia's work was up on our walls I received a phone call from Myriam Laroche, founder of Vancouver Eco Fashion Week
"Hey Melissa! We would like to have Adhesif Clothing as the closing show for Eco Fashion Week this season!'' Of course I was absolutely THRILLED! With only 4 weeks to create 30 one-of-a-kind outfits, alongside our regular Fall-Winter production and tending to my boutique...I thought to myself ''Oh MAN! Better get cracking'' I do like a good challenge...
Now, I would like to provide a VERY brief re-cap of Adhesif Clothing at EFW as I would like to recollect this experience more extensively in the New Year with the new season. For now here is a small sneak peak...
Behind stage arranging my line up for showtime...
A few of my FAVE outfits from the line up with foot candy by Fluevog Shoes

.. at the end I even did a little dance on the runway...the models had no idea what was actually happening behind them at this point. It was awesome...
TA DA!

In 1973, Circle Craft Co-operative presented its first Christmas Market in the Vancouver East Cultural Centre, “The Cultch.” The success of that inaugural event has resulted in 38 successive Markets, to which generations of Vancouverites and visitors have attended, enjoying a Market where they come face to face with fine BC and Canadian artisans and their work: Clothing design, wood-turners, glassblowers, sculptors and potters, jewellery designers, toy-makers, and many more.
