No one does Halloween like Martha

I'm in love with these pumpkins from the latest issue of Martha Stewart. I really want to try this for display at the shop.

Happy Halloween month!

For the month of October I am going to try and post things that are Halloween related.... any thing spooky creepy and or haunted.  Things pertaining to vampires, ghosts and the paranormal.  Or costumes and pumpkins. Anyways, I'm sure you understand what I am getting at.... so, here is day one, October 1st.




As twilight descends and drinks are poured, add bite to your beverage with the Cold Blooded Vampire ice cubes. Perfect for Bloody Mary and other spine-tingling drinks fit for the vampire lovers in your family.

Each ice tray yields 5 fangs - be sure to get enough for everyone!
Perfect for ice cubes or jello molds....

Canada Day in Picton 2011

Come and drop into Kelly's on July 1st for some Canada day fun. 

There's going to be a dog parade on Main Street so bring your pug, and drop into the store from 10 am to 5 pm to get your unique "sketchy" character illustrations done by Niall Eccles. And for all the race car fans, come see Henry Schnieder's race car parked outside my store during the day!

Also, Nella Casson is coming in again with her "Spirit Strands" feather hair extensions that are perfect for summer and can be styled with your own hair. They last up to three months and can even be placed into your pet's hair for some Canada day animal flair! 

Character of the day features Kelly's Shop!!

I am actually just sharing Niall Eccles Character of the Day blog it's pretty much cheating.... but, I just wanted to share it.  so with my best intentions here is Niall's Blog.

"Hey, do you remember the Character Of The Day for Nov. 16, 2010? I'm sure you don't, but it was 'Ferris' - the first character in a 'Kelly's Shop' series (as seen below). Well, now we're finally getting around to meeting the rest of the characters in that series, for today's Character Of The Day is the second in the series: Henry! (Also seen below)."

"If you've been following my COTD project for a while, you've probably seen me mention Kelly's Shop quite a bit. That's because it's an actual shop in Picton, Ontario, owned by my friend Kelly Roblin. Kelly sells a lot of  COTD artwork (sometimes originals, currently prints) through her store, but that's not why it's an amazing place. No, Kelly's Shop is nothing less than a world of wonders unto itself. It's a gathering place, a hipster hideaway, a crafter's den, a small dog game preserve, a collector's paradise, a way-back knick knack shack, a demonic sock-hop, an illegal speakeasy, a secret celebrity rehab clinic, and the fashion capital of Prince Edward County.

Anyway, I thought it'd be cool to have a Character Of The Day series set in the magical land that is Kelly's Shop. So if you're inclined to hang around this week, you should end up meeting a few characters from in and around the happeninest shop in town..."

Pug Month

There is a face book page for Prince Edward County Pig Month

"2010 marked the first year that Prince Edward County celebrated the pig by designating the month of March "Pig Month". 

This year, we are doing the same, encouraging all establishments that serve or sell local pork to shout it out and celebrate the swine!"

 

Lets just change the i to a u and walah it's PUG Month pugs are way cuter and they need to be celebrated too.

I have two pugs at my house this month,  Piggy and Frenchie, Frenchie is staying with us for 2 weeks while her family goes on a March break vacation.

Pugs are hilarious, and friendly and cute.

which is why they have there own club with there own parties.

This months party is on the 20th it's the Pug Paddy Day party

The Toronto events are created by the pugalug Rescue 

What Is Pugalug Rescue? 

Pugalug Pug Rescue is a bridge between a pug's past life and its future forever home. It is a group of volunteers who are committed to helping rescued pugs by providing medical care, loving attention, comfort, food, companionship and a forever home. It is a process whereby the pug's needs are paramount both during its time in the rescue process and when its ideal adoptive home is being determined. 

We went to the halloween party and had the best time EVER.....

Frenchie dressed up like a pink hippo and Piggy was a cop.

Celebrate the PUG!!
