Christmas Craft Fair Season and a Fundraiser
This past Saturday I was at the Heart, Home, and Handmade Indie Craft Fair. Located at the gorgeous Glebe Community Centre, there were over 50 vendors and I had a lovely time looking around and picking up a couple Christmas presents. I even had a lovely visit from a friend I hadn’t seen in a while.
I have only one more show until Christmas. I’ll be at the MAC Fair on December 6th. Regular readers and fans will recognize the name – I’ve participated in the MAC Fair Craft Fair at Immaculata High School for a couple years now, and it’s one of my favourites. It’ll be spectacular again, with over a hundred vendors, all local artists, artisans, and bakers. I always end up buying lots of gifts, and I’m counting on clearing off most of my list there. 🙂 I’m looking forward to closing out the Christmas craft fair season with a bang, so come by and check it out!
In other news, a local dog rescue, Sit With Me, is holding an online silent auction to raise funds. I’ve donated a necklace (you might recognize it as Day 74 from the 100 Day Challenge), and encourage you to visit the auction and make a bid or two. There’s quite a variety of items up for grabs, and it’s for a fantastic cause.

A thrill a minute!

We can both vouch for this! There’s nothing quite like the excitement of seeing a design come together. Have a thrilling Friday!
Big shows and custom orders
categories: News, Uncategorized
I’d like to start off by thanking the organizers of the All Saints craft show for putting on such a fun and well-organized event. I’d especially like to thank them for putting me between two awesome vendors: Totally Squared had some delicious dessert squares on my right (and I absolutely indulged and feel zero guilt about it), and Hali’s Essentials on my left, which meant I got to enjoy little wafts of scent from her homemade bath and beauty products all day. It’s a tough life, I tell ya.
My next upcoming show is the Home, Heart, and Handmade Indie Craft Fair. On November 22nd, this new-to-me show will be at the Glebe Community Centre, and I can’t wait to go. The vendor line-up is huge and quite varied and I have a sneaking suspicion that I’ll get a lot of my own Christmas shopping done there. I love shopping local and every vendor will have great handmade items to drool over.
In between shows, I’ve had a couple of custom orders to create. The first was a request for a necklace, meant to be a Christmas gift. It features soothing smoky quartz and an aquamarine cluster, as well as a stamped charm with the recipient’s name. This is only my second stamping project and I’m quite pleased with how it turned out.
My other custom order was a set of beaded pearl hair elastics destined to be accessories for a wedding party. They are all matching in pale pink, and the elastics are in “blonde” and “brunette” colours to match the wearers’ hair. They’re going to look gorgeous!
