"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" 🎶 craft fair season. The season that has me spending many hours at my tiny studio table. It's a mess most days, but definitely a creative one.
Bits and pieces of colourful designs covering most surfaces. It's how I work best.
As I'm sure you know by now, the Chocolate Claim Café has closed its doors for good. I am sad to have a lost such a great venue for my art and jewelry, but happy that Glenys is getting a well-deserved break after almost 20 years of restaurant life.
Bean North Café reopened this spring, but has also reduced it's hours to summer only. It's a much loved treasure, and will be greatly missed on cold winter weekends.
I was left needing a place to display my latest collection of art, and decided to do another pop-up shop. Luckily, Georgi agreed that the alley garage would be the perfect spot. She's been sewing up a storm (as well as beautiful blouses, kitchen linens and tote bags)
We've invited a few other local artists and producers, and hope you can "pop in" and check it out. Knitted toques by Carrie Ariss, High fHive beeswax candles, Lyn Fabio's amazing mittens and even locally grown garlic.
Opens this Thursday, November 11th at 10 am. (see details below)
We are also available to private showings outside of regular hours, if you have concerns about covid risk due to the recent developments (or if the hours don't work for you, we can try to accommodate.(text or call 867-333-0168)
I am planning on setting up my colourful display of jewelry, art and Christmas ornaments at the Spruce Bog (Sunday November 21st), Cranberry Fair (Sunday November 27th) and of course, at 12 Days of Christmas, which starts on the December 8th and runs for 14 days this year 😀.
We made the hard decision to forgo everyone's favourite "littlest" for another year. It is missed, but we'll be thinking of extra special treats for you all in 2022.
Due North Maternity and Baby shop will now carry a selection of my colourful zipper pulls. Thank you to Shannon for noticing how useful they are when wearing mittens. 😊
Well, that is certainly enough news for this letter. My hard working framer has updated my website with my latest art pieces. Be sure to check it out at the link button above. I dream of summer every time I go there, but for now it's skating season, and of course, craft fair season!
