My Last Craft Show Appearance This Season...

(...unless something happens that I am not anticipating!)

I had a wonderful time at my last sale this past weekend.  Sadly I  thought it would be my last weekend this season.

You see, when I booked myself into the sale for Morinville this coming weekend I didn't realize my guy's Christmas party was the same weekend. There is no way I can get back in time to get gorgeous enough to attend a party at the Hotel MacDonald.  I had to withdraw.  And that made me sad.  I am loving being out with the public and getting response and feedback to my designs.  

Then, as I firmly believe, everything works as it should and a lovely crafter from the Hazeldean sale introduced me to a dedicated volunteer from Westmount who was organizing a sale and was in need of more vendors. Since the sale is for two days I won't need to pack up until Sunday, which means I can enjoy another weekend with the public and still have time to enjoy the party!  Yeah.  

So...here's the information... I hope to see you as this will be my last sale.  I am working on more Christmas ornaments as they sold quite well, especially as hostess gifts, and I have many Snowmen I still want to create.  I also hope to have some simpler pieces of jewellery made and some Christmas themed hair fascinators for little ones made.  That's the plan anyway.

Tomorrow is The Day...

So, I am loving the Snowmen right now!  They are so cute and fun to create!  I hope you like them too.  

I will be selling at Hazeldean Community Center tomorrow and Sunday...it's just off of Argyle Road - turn onto 97th Street and head North..you will see signs.  I hope to see you there!

It's Snowing Snowmen...

This weather has inspired me to build snowmen...of course, not the outdoor kind...way too chilly for me!  I build the kind of snowmen that make me smile - using yarn, wire, buttons, pearls, shells, vintage bottles and sparkly bits.  


Don't you just need one or three?

These are little "Wish" bottles...for yourself or someone special...give a wish!

Product You Haven't Seen Before...

These necklaces are one of my favorite!  They have a very light feel, yet make a big statement.  I wear mine with everything!  

New Product!

I have been working on these handbags for several months now....I am quite pleased with the results!  I have always had a bag fetish, collecting not only everyday handbags since I was young, but I also own several beautiful and unique vintage bags that I like to use as decor.  I believe in starting the love of handbags when girls are little so I have made styles for them too!

What is interesting about my designs is that I have been inspired to create with up-cycled materials.  Take a closer look....

This all leather bag has been fashioned from  fine leather furnishing sample pieces, vintage leather clothing and a fabulous leather belt.

This little beauty is made from a little denim skirt.  You can't see the details here, but it has cute embroidered flower detail on both the front and back, a funky lining and an adjustable strap.

Another great bag made from a skirt.  The details of felted flowers and vintage trim make it special.  It also has a long strap that would allow it to be worn across the body.

This fun bag reminds me of a Jeannie Lottie number - she designs fabulous unique handbags that usually cost far above my budget, unless I luck out and find one at Winners.  This has been created from a little dress, has a silk lining, a vintage button detail and beaded fringe.  I would use this everyday, but you might enjoy this for a special occasion!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas...

I was inspired to create!  I was inspired by the Season and so I created Cupcakes and Sparkly Bird ornaments!  I am also showing you my Vintage Stands for the first time.  I have used these to store bangles and vintage brooches, but with the popularity of cake stands and the Christmas season coming I thought I should make more!  I am planning on using a stand filled with ornaments as a centerpiece...which might be the only holiday decoration I have this year due to my two baby kittens in the house!

My table last weekend...the vintage stands on display

Cupcakes...don't you just love them!

Imagine this on your holiday table...

I love birds in my Christmas tree...so pretty!

A Quick Note On Directions for Tomorrow

"Hello All...I just received a bit of clarification, for the directionally challenged among us...me being the most challenged of all, on the way to the golf club.  I hope this helps!


Access to the golf course - you can use 127 Street north to Twp Rd 542 and turn right. go 2 km and we are on the right.  You can also use 66 st or 82 st and go north to Valour Ave (195 Ave). Turn left and follow the road west over the overpass and then go 1 km and we are on the left side."
