The Wonderful Weezi: A vintage inspired fashion designer from London, ON

Some of you already know the wonderful Weezi but it occurred to me that many of my international readers probably have never had the chance to meet this lovely lady! Today that all changes because if you're even slightly interested in fashion, especially vintage inspired threads, then you're going to love Weezi! Heck, if you're even the slightest bit girly you're going to fall in love with her.. and if you're like me and love vintage inspired clothing (I'm a sucker for the dresses), handmade goods, and delightful designers then brace yourself! I'm about to rock your world by sharing just a little peak into the world of Weezi! This first picture is one of her lovely designs (picture by Adam Gaverluk). The lovely girl is our gal pal Geisha (isn't she beautiful!? she's super sweet and fun too)!


So what's Weezi and her designs all about? I'll let her tell you in her own words:


"Weezi was started in 1989 with a love of vintage and retro clothing. I have always been inspired by the looks of the 40's, 50's & 60's. I enjoy the silouettes & femininity of the those times. My designs are influenced by these looks and images that really embrace the female form. I like to mix and match vintage patterns with my own designs and create modern garments for gals who like to have a vintage flare. Many Weezi pieces are one of kind or in limited editions to ensure your Weezi item is unique unto you. All Weezi items are handmade in Canada."


Besides creating awesome dresses, skirts, shirts, bags, journals, and all kinds of other goodies, Weezi is a huge help in the community! She helps to foster creativity in the handmade community by participating in events and opening up her studio to help out when she can. She also carries my full line of bath & body products! Oh, and did I mention she's a HUGE animal lover? Just ask her about Stella, her pretty kitty, or Matilda her giant gold fish! I really can't say enough good things about this gal! She keeps me laughing, working ;) and well dressed! What more could a girl ask for in a friend? :)


Below is some of the places you can find her around the web:








If you're a local Londoner or are ever in London, Ontario, be sure to swing by her vintage inspired retro haven at the corner of Albert & Richmond St! You definitely wont regret it because she's got the coolest studio EVER! There's always something new to see or a finding that you missed on your previous visit (there's so much eye candy you wont know where to look first!). Plus, Weezi is almost always in the studio so you'll be able to meet her in person!








P.s. She also dubbed me the queen of Halloween and made this AMAZING "Batty" dress!! I definitely wear it all year round :) Check out her Etsy shop or Official site to snag your own Weezi creation!!

Online Shop at BattysBath.com is Now Open!

Some of you have already noticed and taken the opportunity to order from BattysBath.com which is very exciting for me!


To bring everyone else up to speed, you can now shop on Etsy or at BattysBath.com. There's advantages and differences in each shop which give my customers more choice and control over their online shopping experience! For example, if you want to shop in US funds, you can use Etsy. But if you want to shop in Canadian funds, you can shop at BattysBath.com.


With the new choice to shop on Etsy or BattysBath.com you may be wondering which option is best for you! No problem! Click here to find out which shopping option is best for you or read the copy & pasted version below!




------------------ The info below is from this page at Battysbath.com -----------



Shopping at BattysBath.com

Picture
This option is recommended for local London customers. Why? The shopping cart here BattysBath.com does NOT automatically add shipping costs on to your order. Since we deliver orders within London, ON for free, this means you don't need to worry about a revised invoice or be refunded for shipping costs. Simply add your items to your shopping cart and check out with paypal as usual (with no shipping charges!). There's also no login required and all prices are in Canadian dollars.



The online shop here at BattysBath.com is also a great option for non-local customers! Non-local customers simply need to add flat-rate shipping to their cart ($10 for Canada, $12 for the USA, and $25 for other countries) and don't need to ever worry about paying more than these shipping costs. Although flat rate shipping still applies in the Etsy shop, Etsy adds up shipping costs on each individual item so many times, refunds for overages in shipping need to be issued via Paypal. However, if you're only ordering a lip balm, Etsy is the way to go!



IN STOCK ITEMS: Etsy is also the way to go if you're looking to order items that are currently in stock - we try our best to keep every product we offer (except limited seasonal releases) in stock at all times but occasionally we do sell out and there's a delay in the availability of products while we order supplies and restock. This delay is usually no longer than 2 weeks although we have found that it can take much longer to get ingredients during holiday times. The shop here at BattysBath.com generally lists every product we offer rather than listing only what's in stock. From time to time when ordering from the online shop here at BattysBath.com you could experience a "back ordered item".




Shopping on Etsy

Picture
All listings on Etsy are in US dollars and if already have an Etsy account, you maybe more comfortable shopping on Etsy. That's no problem! We love Etsy and the flat rate shipping caps apply there too! However, Etsy adds up shipping costs on each individual items so many times, refunds for overages are needed to be refunded. All overages in shipping charges are refunded via Paypal when we ship your order. One major bonus to the Etsy shop is we generally try to ensure that we only list items there that are currently in stock (see more about in stock items above).

Halloween is Back!

The Bazaar of the Bizarre on Sunday was awesome!
It was a lot slower than last year, my guess is because it was Thanksgiving weekend, BUT
we did well, we met a few regular customers in person, and got to know a lot of
wonderful vendors! I couldn't be a a happier with the Bazaar and I
can't wait until next year! Thank you to those of you who came
down to the Bazaar to say hello and support us :)




The great news for those who aren't local or couldn't make it out to the Bazaar is that
because it was slow I didn't sell out of my Halloween stock!!!!
This means I've been able to put these spooky special releases are back in the online shop
and they will be popping up at the rest of my local events in October!


photophotoBazaar of the Bizarre 2010




Thanks again to everyone who has supported me!!!
I'm still blushing over all the great comments I've gotten over my Halloween/Fall line!
All your wonderful praises and compliments fuel my creativity and I'm already
working on my Christmas/Winter line! I'll try not to disappoint anyone and
am putting all I've got into making sure that Batty's Bath delivers for the
next big holiday! Stay tuned for updates but don't rush autumn ;)
The smell of pumpkin spice is filling our house right now and I'm
trying my best to savor every minute of my favorite season!
