open your hearts to open streets

Open Streets Hamilton is returning for their 7th year this coming Sunday June 23rd from 10am until 5pm in Hamilton's centre, James Street North. Open Streets is a not-for-profit community-based partnership that is dedicated to promoting active, healthy, and inclusive lifestyles. On Sunday, James St. North will be closed to vehicles and transformed into a shared space, a "playground", for everyone to experience. Street vendors and pop-up shops, like yours truly ;), will give guests the opportunity to browse and purchase goods. Trendy eateries like Mulberry Street Coffee House, The Brain, and The Green Smoothie Bar will fill your bellies and quench your thirst. In addition, and not to forget, the free health, recreation, and outreach-focussed activities and demonstrations that are provided by local community groups and organizations to make this day spectacular!

Here are just some of the treasures you'll find at dizzy alice this weekend:

For any Hamilton lover, our "Hamilton is Home", hand-painted appetizer plate of the Hamilton Post Office.

"Sake it to Me, Baby", vintage 5-piece sake set with a dreamy floral print.   

To put you in the mood, our 80s "Moody Blues" free-flowing dress. 

 

"I'm Hooked on You", crocheted shoulder bag. (Get it? I'm HOOKED on you?! Hooked? Crochet?!)

1970s Art Deco earrings. Far out!

Darling salt & pepper shakers, "The Wallflowers".

Our salt & pepper snails, "Sally & Samuel".

An ode to Jamsquid's soon-to-be released music video, "Slug"

Watch the teaser, here!

See you on Sunday!!

grande opening

To kick off the summer we welcomed our nearest and dearest to the grande opening 

of our pop-up shop, dizzy alice. 

"What's a 'pop-up shop'?", you ask? Well, we simply 'pop-up' at different locations in and around Hamilton at festivals, markets, and other local events. Here, we showcase our curious collection of vintage, vintage-inspired, and handmade items.

From as early as the 1920s, we've discovered jewellery that would make the jabberwocky's jaw drop, clothing that sparks the curiosity of a Cheshire Cat, the finest and funkiest pieces for the home and 

any mad tea party, and handmade heart confetti, accessories, 

and buntings that would even melt the Red Queen's heart.

We thank all our family and friends for sharing this special day with us and for your love and support as we share our passion for yesterday's glamour. 

If you missed us on Sunday, you can check us out tomorrow (Friday, June 14th) at the Hamilton Art Crawl on James St. North in front of H.Williams Jewellery any time from 6pm to 10pm. And if you can't make it tomorrow, no big deal, we're popping up at the Locke Bazaar from 10pm to 4pm at
211 Locke St. South across from The West Town Bar & Grill.

Hope to see you there!!
