The holiday craft market season is officially upon us and since my day planner is filled with scribbled notes telling me that every weekend until Christmas is fully booked, I figured it might be helpful to post it publically too. Now when my mister wants to, you know, go see a movie or something I… Continue reading November Markets

Day of the Dead (In Progress)
As much as I miss summer's warm weather, I do love this time of year. The leaves are changing and look like they're positively glowing when the sun hits them just right, it's acceptable for me to break out my knee socks again, plus I can curl up with a good book or an episode… Continue reading Day of the Dead (In Progress)
The Drift
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
To Market
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
Summer Recap: Buntzen Lake
One of my favorite things that happened this summer was discovering Buntzen Lake, about 30 minutes outside Vancouver. It's a beautiful lake surrounded by mountains, but is (surprisingly) not that cold. Definitely a lot warmer than the ocean & much warmer than a lot of the Alberta lakes I attempted to not only swim but… Continue reading Summer Recap: Buntzen Lake

Fringe Festivities
The Vancouver Fringe Festival is on right now & so far I've seen two plays - a dark 18A rated one (with nudity!) & a funny one that we took the boy to see (training sheep for the Olympics? Hellz yeah!). I'm not much of a theater buff, but I do love the indie DIY-style… Continue reading Fringe Festivities
Got Rain?
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?
Got Craft Bite Sized
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
Beating the Heat
Vancouver officially broke a record yesterday for hottest day in recorded history, as did much of BC. I know 34 C doesn't sound that hot (93 F), especially if you've ever been to Nevada in the summer (ugh...I have), but us wet coasters are not built for this kind of heat day after day. The… Continue reading Beating the Heat
