Osborne street festival

So every year on Canada Day, Osborne street puts on a Festival...and it's called...Osborne Street Festival.  SO CATCHY!  This year I went with this lovely lady and we had bubble tea!

And sushi OH MY YUM.  This craziness on top is sweet potato tempura I think....

So many people!!

Then some downtime because it was SO HOT and we walked around for like 3 hours.

We headed to Marion Street Eatery for supper, and I really liked this quote:

"Summer is like a fresh glass of lemonade - You want to drink it fast but you want it to last forever"

Too true summer, too true.

The Back 40 Folk Festival

Here's a few looks that I sold at the Back 40 Folk Festival a number of weekends ago!  I'm loving these bright colors and vintage inspired vibes!

Here's me at my booth

Here's my dad playing along with the bands in the background :)

The Back 40 Folk Festival is a really cool festival featuring-you guessed it-folk music!  They feature local artists who create original songs and also do a workshop!

This was my 4th year participating in the Artisan Village and it was great!  The weather was awesome until right at the end when it hailed while we were cleaning up!  It was an adventure to say the least!

Back Forty Festival

The Back 40 Folk Festival is one of my favorite shows to do!  We arrive early to set up tents and tables, put our products out and sit back in our lawn chairs.  I debuted a new style of dress I just made, perfect for hot Summer days!  

The festival is held in Morden, MB and it's an all-day music festival complete with local artists, and bands on the festival circuit.  There's also festival food trucks, an artisan village (where I set up), a kids tent and more!  I've had so much fun in the past and this year was no different.

If you're local and you've never experienced this event, make sure you mark your calendar for next year!  It's one you don't want to miss!

Need something to do this weekend?  Come on down to the WEST Handmade & Vintage Sale at the R.A. Steen Community Centre THIS SATURDAY!!!  There will be tons of vendors, food to purchase, prizes to win, and a cool contest to enter!

I'll be there with Heidi Hoods, infinity scarves, color block tanks, clutch purses and more!  Don't miss a great start to holiday shopping!  See you Saturday!

Friday Makers Market

On Friday I had a table up at the Makers Market at The Frame.  I'd never been to this location and it was pretty cool! I would love to have walls like this as a photo backdrop!  The vibe was very cool and though it was a warm night there was a vendor selling cold soda which was a lifesaver-not to mention delicious!  If you've never been to the Makers Market you should really check it out!
