What amazed me most was that I didn't recognize any of the vendors! Having been to a fair share of Lower Mainland craft fairs and markets as well as regular follower to several local crafty folk, I fancied myself fairly up on the local hand-made, home-made scene...apparently, not so much. What a treat to walk into a room full of drool-worthy displays and for everything to be brand spankin' new to me!
I nabbed a set of owl-themed hankies from hank&cheef [LOVE the name!] just moments through the door. I've been keeping an eye out for handkerchiefs lately and was thrilled to find such cute, eco-friendly ones made locally. I find myself actually hoping to get a cold soon so I can really test them out.
Besides the hankies, I lingered for a while at the Dotty Logic table. The very talented Jasonda Desmond designs her own fabric and also sells a number of cute items made with said fabrics. Sadly, I've been trying to reign in my stash lately so I had to walk away empty handed.
I have no idea if or when there will be another market, but I'll definitely go to the next one...anyone care to join me?
Yeah, count me in. I totally want to go one of these, but their website is difficult to follow. I just want to sign up somewhere so I'm on a mailing list so I get notified on the next one, but I can't find anything like that on there. Got Craft? has a mailing list and lets me know when their next fair is. How did you hear about this? (because like you, I thought I was fairly in the know about craftiness in the Lower Mainland)
ReplyDeleteOoo! I love those hankies! So cute.

ReplyDeleteLooks like their next one is October 16 at Ocean Park Hall. You can *like* them on FB to get updates. I found out from Urban Baby and Toddler, but I'm guessing you don't have any need to follow them just yet ;-)

ReplyDeleteThe hankies have been a great purchase already! I love having them at hand all the time. I feel so old fashioned holding a hanky to Abner's nose!
