Publisher's Notes 

---

Can you imagine that it's been already two years since we've opened FABartonstuff? And in the second, statistically hardest to survive for small business, year we've had Covid-19 happening! It wasn't easy but I am proud to say that we are still here and we are slowly resuming all activities. Some photo shoots are already happening outdoor, and we are thinking about organizing a fashion show in the fall, digital and maybe also the real one in our garden.
We are also re-opening the studio/show room, of course with caution and by appointment only.
Last months have been trying for everyone and we would like to say thank you to our clients who bravely ordered garments and waited long time to receive them! You helped us survive.
Also, plenty of thanks to Aislin Evans who has worked with us almost since we opened, first as a volunteer, then as a high school co-op student and for the whole last year as a part time Assistant and my right hand, helping with photography, design, advertising, marketing and e-store management – all online from Toronto while studying Advertising in Humber College. Aislin, we are so happy to have you on board!
Without further ado, may the awareness, calmness and compassion always be our guides and may our lives be full of colour and happiness!
With love,
Lidka
