Hubby and I ventured down to Jordan, ON on Saturday for the Handmade Market. The weather was great! The sun was shining but there was a decided chill in the air which did gust from time to time. We parked at the Jordan Arena and just as we switched off the car a yellow school bus pulled up which was our shuttle to the event. The bus was awesome there were stickers of all kinds on the ceiling of the bus - what a way for kids to start their school day! It was impressive how the grounds of the Honsberger Estate were turned into an outdoor craft fair. They had several rows of tents and believe it or not it was warm and cozy inside. It was slightly crowded and at times difficult to get in close to some of the vendors. Had to squash my claustrophobic reaction to the melee.
We purchased a Wool Bowl from Akai Ceramics Studio of Toronto - it is very unique and I can see a valued use when tatting or beading plus small project knitting. http://akaiceramicstudio.blogspot.ca/p/about.htmlTucked away in a corner of one of the tents two ladies were huddled up against the tent back and their display. They were "Letters from Niagara" - these ladies take black and white photographs of historic buildings, places of interest or nature that would encompass an image that looked like a letter. They take these photos and form a unique pictorial of letters. Very classic....loved it! We had a lovely chat which increased our enjoyment of the day. http://www.lettersfromniagara.com/
Further down the line we came across a lady selling doggie collars, leashes and "Puppy Petals" which has a Velcro loop to attach to their collars. Couldn't resist purchasing a couple for our low to the ground ladies - spruce 'em up for Christmas!! We had a lovely chat with this lady as well. Of course, ultimately the conversation was all about dogs and she told us of an event called "Weinerfest" Embro, ON - all dachshunds. They have events such as yogurt licking, distance racing and costume contest. I feel a road trip coming on - June, 2015 http://wienerfest.ca/
