These Little Froggies go to Market

The end is near. The last market of the year is at Heritage Hall tomorrow. The Women's Holiday Market is always good fun but this year it is overshadowed for me by the arrival of my daughter from her first semester at university in Ontario. However, I have survived the Farmers Holiday Market and enjoyed it all and I am all restocked for Saturday.

I am almost in the Christmas spirit.

Seduced by Colour Again

The Farmers Holiday Market is the Saturday and I am playing with clay. There is a reason. My clay demo at the Holiday market. I am preparing this morning and as usual am not as on track.
Tomorrow I am at Arts Off Main minding shop and carding new work for Saturday. Maybe someone will drop by for a sneak peek at the new stuff.

Come to the Farmers Market here is some great crafters and yummy stuff. Besides you can pad the audience for my little demo. 3:00 centre stage - a little stage. Now I am going to play with colour again and pretend that am getting ready or my preformance. Which is my best side? - who cares.

And Here is Another,Unlike the Others

This is something new for me. I craft fair that starts at 7:30 in the morning and goes to 3:00 in the afternoon. And they, low and behold, I have a weekend off. Well not actually off, I will be a Arts Off Main for our Christmas sale. More about that later.

What Happens after the Crawl?

Besides trying to set up a studio like space that is not in the living room I still have four of maybe five markets to go. The fifth is at VGH and I am not sure if it is open to the general public. More about that later.

A Rainy Eastside Culture Crawl

Monday, there is a Crawl space to put away for another year and a studio to reclaim. Upwards of 800 brave people made it out to my space this week end in spite of a the rain both Friday and Saturday. Thank you Carmen for helpling Friday, Debby for being willing to brave the storm and Hugh for his support throughout the weekend.

I have also to thank Carmen for the lead Saturday night to get about 30 salmon row boxes from an add on Craig's list. After closing on Saturday Hugh and I ventured out get a deal on these little treasures that will find there way into my in the future.

Not Thunder or Lightning

Last evening was the first day of the Crawl. Thunder and lightening for the first two hours and still there were almost a hundred people welcomed to the studio/living room before we pulled in the sign and turned out the lights at just after 10 PM. Thanks to Carmen for watching the door (while knitting) and greeting visitors through out the evening. And thanks to all who made it
here here through the rain.

And now for Saturday and Sunday.

Button Down the Hatches

It is less than a week to the Eastside Culture Crawl. I had all sorts of good intentions to post before now and all sorts of things that I wanted to say. I would say "share" but mostly it is I who reads this blog, but all must stop while I button all the loose ends for the first of my holiday sales. There are not many but that doesn't mean that I can forgo my yearly "nickers in a twist" reaction to stress. Loading pictures in a less stressful activities so it's buttons, buttons

and more buttons.
