I'm back at Harmony Arts Fest this weekend (Friday 4 to 8 pm, Sat & Sun 10 am to 8 pm), which means I've been a busy bee trying to re-stock the Cagey table with goodies after a wonderfully busy few days. It is such a beautiful spot along the water in West Vancouver. I… Continue reading Westbound Bee
Harmony Arts Festival kicks off this Friday, July 30th in West Vancouver & I can't wait! I've been up to my eyeballs in resin for the last couple of weeks, so I'm delighted to see the weather forecast is calling for sunshine & hopefully lots of folks out wandering around. If you've never been before,… Continue reading Harmony Arts Festival
Ruh roh! Apparently the geese were out celebrating Canada Day a little early! On my way home from art class yesterday I ran into this gaggle of geese (yes, I did have to Google "What is a flock of geese called?") blocking the sea wall. This is a perfect example of why I love taking… Continue reading Canadian Traffic Jam
Rocky Mountaineer Train Station 1755 Cottrell Street Sunday, June 27th noon to 6 pm I've spent the last couple of days getting prepped for Portobello West on Sunday, June 27th, and though I'm usually busy working on new lockets or magnets for an upcoming market, this one has got me doing some extra dashing about… Continue reading Portobello West on Sunday

Took the pooches to the dog beach today just as it was starting to cloud over. Still warm & muggy & great for exploring the rocks. TONS of tiny little crabs to watch as they scurried about! The pug loves the water. He only goes in up to his belly, but he could spend hours… Continue reading Pug at the beach
Got Craft is tomorrow here in Vancouver and after checking out the swag bag pics on their blog, I'm jealous that vendors can't line up too! The first 30 people through the door get one of these bags filled with items donated by the vendors of Got Craft. I should qualify "through the door" with… Continue reading Got Craft Swag
I'm gearing up for the first big market of the year this weekend - Portobello West. It's a 2 day event, so the art factory has kicked into high gear over the last little while, trying to get some of my newest paintings turned into prints and lockets and all sorts of goodies! I'm so… Continue reading The Art Factory
Living in Vancouver, I wasn't particularly excited about the Olympics coming to our city, especially with all of the subsequent cuts to arts funding (slashed by 92%) and the serious lack of affordable housing.
