I hung my paintings at the Beehive Hair Lounge this morning and have to admit I was tickled to see so many of them hung together. Well, not together exactly...more scattered around the salon, but up! On the walls! Yay! I'm participating in The Drift this weekend, which means that artists & businesses are teaming… Continue reading The Drift
Ahhhhh! That's me breathing a long sigh of relief now that last weekend's markets are behind me. I had a fabulous time both at I Heart Crafts on Saturday & then Portobello West on Sunday, but that's a lot of goody hauling back & forth in 2 days! My mister had to work, so I… Continue reading To Market

I'm sorry to report that the Got Craft show I was supposed to be attending tomorrow afternoon has been canceled on account of our crappy weather. That's the problem with these outdoor shows...while the farmers might be able to get away with a bit of rain, artists selling papergoods don't fare quite so well! I'm… Continue reading Got Rain?
One of my favorite craft shows, organized by the awesomely rad Andrea & Rob (of Lotus Events), is going bite sized! Instead of the twice a year goodness of the largest indie craft fair in Vancouver, this Sunday, August 9th, there will be a mini version of Got Craft with a smaller selection of vendors,… Continue reading Got Craft Bite Sized

photo pilfered from the lovely Christi of Buenostyle My crafty social schedule has been quite the whirlwind as of late with the screening of Handmade Nation and then the big Etsy meet & greet tour a few days later. It's been so great seeing familiar faces from the local craft shows without the busyness that… Continue reading Etsy in Vancouver
Two things: Handmade Nation is coming to Vancouver (yay!) & I won tickets (double yay!). Handmade Nation is the brainchild of Faythe Levine, otherwise known as the ‘Ambassador of Handmade’. Levine has traveled 19,000 miles to document the movement of artists, crafters & designers that recognize the marriage between historical technique, punk culture, and the… Continue reading Handmade Nation
