car free day round up

Better late than never right? Here's a round up of car free day from last month.. Main Street style!


(my side of the table)

Tiffany from Love Made Me, a few ladies from Woven Studios and I shared a table at the Blim market which was a part of car free day. Apparently, 79 Blim vendors aligned the streets of Main Street which didn't include all the other local shops, food stalls and events happening between 16th Avenue up to 33rd Avenue. Thank goodness that the weather held on! It was a guessing game throughout the day and I even picked up a plastic table cloth just in case, but despite a few cold spells, we were all good and dry.


(mobile boardroom float protesting HST whizzed past us)

Thanks to everybody that stopped by especially to @prairiecitygirl !

shop tour :: Regional Assembly of Text

Last July, I brought Faythe Levine, director of Handmade Nation, to check out our next stop on the Crafty Shop tour. The Regional Assembly of Text is filled with the most delightful stationery, chalkboards, fabric letters and buttons, all handmade in the back of the shop. Opened in the fall of 2005, the store is a creative collaboration between Rebecca Dolen and Brandy Fedoruk, both graduates from the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design.
