A Beary Merry Winter Market

A Beary Merry Christmas indeed! 

The best craft show is in the city is back! Voted best darn craft show in Halifax by readers of The Coast, the Halifax Crafters are back for their annual winter market. 

With over 80 crafters offering everything from jewellery to paper crafts to plush to pottery -there is a little bit of something for everyone!



This year's Crafters market is sponsored by CKDU, The Coast, Yelp, Lunenburg Makery and Luvly in Lunenburg. 

I will be there all weekend with a selection of Woodland Wool critters and some of my rug hookings. Come on by and say hello and perhaps adopt a critter of your own!

The show is from 10am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday at the Olympic Centre, 2304 Hunter Street in Halifax. 



There'll be lots of great gift ideas at every table and food vendors selling lunch and cupcakes and coffee - a great way to spend some time!

 

Put Me On!

In case you missed it Put Me On! has moved into their new digs on Queen Street in Halifax. Located in the former Back Pages space, Put Me On! has literally quadrupled in size!

Known for it carefully curated collection of vintage duds for men and women, the shop also features a healthy collection of local handmade creations.

You may recognize some of the local artists right off the bat - like Mary Garoutte of Swallow and Twig, Blythe Church of Sewn by Blythe, and my own Pretty Things feather earrings, fascinators and necklaces!
