Safety protocols
I want to be careful though as I don’t think we’re out of the woods yet with Covid. So, I ask out of courtesy and safety for all that you please be double vaccinated. I’ll host 10 people at a time. That way there’s lots of room. You can sign up for a time slot at 11:00 am or 2:00 pm.
You are required to wear a mask to enter my condo building. Once you’re inside my home, you can take off your mask if you feel comfortable doing so. I’ll have hand sanitizer at the entranceway.
Parking
There are a few visitor parking spots to the right of the building. I have an extra reserved spot #4 that someone can use. You can also park around the circle in front of the building, or along Boundstone Way before you enter the circle. My ring # is 1051.
Your valuable input
As VIP customers, you get to see the new designs I have in mind for Spring/Summer 2022. Here’s a peek.

Rib knit T and Drawstring Pant

Tunic in Contrasting Micro Stripe

Jumpsuit, belted or straight

Bolero Cardi, goes nicely over top the Carolyn Dress

Mix & Match all the pieces
All the pieces mix & match and will work well with what’s already hanging in your closet. You can even try the samples on. They’re roughly a Size 2(M). Bamboo is very stretchy and forgiving so you can go up or down a size depending on how you like to wear your clothes.
Please keep in mind these are first round samples. They’re not perfect. The colours, details, etc. will not necessarily be what ends up in production. That’s why I need your help. I have to get back to Brandi & Ivy at The Bobbins Production Studio with changes as soon as possible. The next set of samples needs to be done before Christmas.
I love when you’re part of the design process. I always appreciate your valuable feedback. It makes my job a lot easier. After all, the clothes are made for you.

I hope you can make it. It’ll be a lovely way to kick off this holiday season. I even have a bottle of Cosmopolitan Sake to share with you. And, you can always get a little Christmas shopping done for yourself or others at the same time. Check out what’s available ahead of time.
See you soon,

Fabulous new collection Colleen. Love the tunic with leggings on you
Thanks, Lynda! Guess what, the rib-knit t-shirts are going to be unisex.
LOVE LOVE the new designs! Now I know why you’ve been so busy 😊
Thanks so much, Joan! I’m really excited for these new pieces. They mix & match so well together and with other COKANNA pieces.
Pockets! Pockets everywhere! Thank you! Can’t wait to get my hands on these pants and the cardigan, to start with. Just hope the fabric isn’t as thick as the Joan pants which I can’t wear indoors, they’re too hot. Really sorry for not being able to make it on Dec 4, it would have been so exciting. Have a wonderful event!
Hi Diane, Pockets are a must have! You’ll be happy to hear the pants are in a lighter weight bamboo french terry. Thanks for the feedback.
Tunic, drawstring pants and T are my favourites. I hope you will be able to make them all! Sorry I cannot be there on Dec 4. It would be fun.
Hi Nancy, Oh yes, the tunic, drawstring pants and T are all great pieces. The bolero cardi goes well with all of them too.
